[augolf1716 21,102]

+6 not good

[augolf1716 21,102]

Ok back to +4 need to get to even par would be great

[augolf1716 21,102]

Up to +6

Auburn really fell apart finishing their 1st round this morning.  6 over on their last 4 holes to finish at 12 over.  Was looking hopeless at that point.  A long way to go, but they are on a tear to start their 2nd round, 5 under and on the 5th hole, back to 7 over,  and moved up 8 spots already.   

[BhamCAT 47]

Now 7 under on the round, only halfway thru the front nine, moved up 12 spots already....at least I haven't jinxed them yet 

[augolf1716 21,102]

Thank god for this morning so far tied for 18th at the moment........................ I though we had a bad round but damn Fl. fell apart yesterday

[BhamCAT 47]

Our biggest advantage at this point in the round is that we haven't already s*** away our low round throw-out golfer like a bunch of teams have.

[BhamCAT 47]

3 birdies on the final hole to close strong and shoot 8 under, 20 shots better than yesterday, and tied for the 2nd best round of the tournament so far.  We need a similar score to that tomorrow to be able to head into Monday with a comfortable chance to make match play.  War Damn Eagle!

Good final hole nice way to finish........... didn't get to follow back nine due to errands

Thanks CAT for up to dates

Good move yesterday and are in great position to not only make the cut but get into the top 5 as well.

[BhamCAT 47]

Not a great start this morning, but we started on the back 9 and it is playing way tougher than the front, so no need to panic just yet.

[BhamCAT 47]

Duke shoots an unbelievable 9 under on the back nine to start their round and move into a tie for first...just wow!

[Brad_ATX 13,654]

Man, 20 shots better yesterday is incredible.  -2 today thru holes 7-10.  Should be in great shape to make match play.

They're at -15 now for the day

[auburnphan 6,050]

off to a good start

[BhamCAT 47]

Playing well and moving up, but as of right now we have a 6 stroke lead lead over 9th place.  I'd sure like more of a cushion than that headed into the final round of stroke play tomorrow.

I thought stroke play ended today.  Usually just three rounds.

[BhamCAT 47]

Cuts to top 15 today, then one more round tomorrow and cut to top 8, then match play tuesday and wednesday

[BhamCAT 47]

And that 6 stroke cushion shrinks to 2...sigh

[BJCrawford 1,568]

Do scores carry into tomorrow? Or does tomorrow start from scratch?

[BhamCAT 47]

Carries into tomorrow, then cuts to top 8 for match play.  It looks like we will have a 4 shot cushion over bama for the final spot.  Just shoot par or close and we should be safely in.

[BhamCAT 47]

Top 3 teams are playing really well....it'd be nice to get into at least 5th to avoid a first round match-up with one of those in first round of match play.  Not to assume we make the cut to begin with, just sayin.

[BhamCAT 47]

Coverage today on the golf channel from 3-7pm CST, I think par should be enough but I'd rather start off hot and not have to sweat it.

[BhamCAT 47]

Also, Brandon Mancheno is in 2nd place at 7 under, 2 off the lead, for the individual championship.
