"Our second round really stung us," Georgia coach Chris Haack said. "We played pretty well in the first round, but we could not get anything going for us in the second round. That's golf. You have to respond to the course, the weather, whatever. I expect us to come out swinging on Tuesday and we'll see how it winds up."
The Bulldogs will conclude the AutoTrader.com Collegiate Classic today, teeing off at 8 a.m. Live scoring can be found at GolfStat.com.
