Coogs up by two shots.

Well crap. Campbell has opened a 5 shot lead with 6 holes to play.

I was really hoping the team would win its first tournament of the year.

It ain’t over

COOGS only down 2, but most are finishing. Going to need Campbell to falter late.

Well, Campbell didn’t falter and won by 5 strokes. They had an amazing day: 11 strokes under. Gotta Tip your hat to them.
