"Mother Nature really challenged us this week," coach
Sean Covich said. "Absolutely brutal conditions out there the last 27 holes. It was really hard for us to get any momentum. Unfortunately, we didn't take advantage of playing at home. We need a really good showing next week at the Big 12 Championship."
The Big 12 Championship will begin next Tuesday at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
