I know everyone was trying. I thought we got worn down at the end and our finish wasn't as good as it could be. We had some momentum through the middle of the round but couldn't keep it going."On the conditions…"Well clearly a tough day, the conditions were some of the worst I have seen. Mainly because you had everything, wind, rain and cold."On going into the second round…"The scores are tight and this is by no means over. We have three more rounds and I think the most important thing to focus on at this point is learning from today and playing as hard as we can for the next three days. We want to make sure we leave everything we have to give out on this golf course."Team (top-15 teams advance):Players:Rd. 2 – Saturday 8:30 a.m. (ET)Rd. 3 Sunday 8:30 a.m. (ET)The second round will begin on Saturday morning with the Gators teeing off at 8:30 a.m. (ET) Live scoring is available on GolfStat.com .
