Hear from Dustin Bierman
"Felt like we weren't sharp on the greens today and it cost us a bit today. We are 7 back of the lead and will have to put together a really good team score to catch them. Looking forward to tomorrow and my guys will battle. On a side note congrats to Caleb McCullough on his hole in one today and to do it on hole 16 is really impressive."
Up Next
The Spartans will begin round two of the Blueboy Invite at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning (April 10) as they look to make up seven strokes and catch the leaders.
