“We got off to a really nice start at 9-under through 12 holes and were in good position to post a nice round,” said Director of Golf Jonathan Dismuke, who is in his 10th season with the Cougars. “We had a couple of hiccups coming down the stretch and didn’t finish our round the way we wanted. We will address a few things tonight and regroup and be ready for Saturday.”
