"I thought we played well today, Kyler also did a very great job of leading the team," said Utah head coach Garret Clegg. "Tomorrow we are just going to have to tighten things up a little and come out ready to play. We didn't have any birdies in the first round either, that's going to have to be something we will have to improve on."
