"Today was one of those days that you learn from and then put behind you," head coach Ray Kralis said. "We obviously hoped to come out of the gate and pick up where we left off in the fall, but we need to tighten up some things mentally and physically. We had a couple good days of practice over the weekend, and I look for us to move in the right direction tomorrow."
The Redbirds compete in the final round of the Mobile Sports Authority Intercollegiate with a shotgun start Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. Live scoring will be available at GolfStat.com.
