From Shauna Taylor

The conditions were tough again.

I think we got a little frustrated at times but at the end of the day, it is about putting ourselves in position to accomplish our goals of being in contention with an opportunity to win on the last day.

That is the position we are in. The conditions are going to be tough again tomorrow and it’s really going to take a group effort.

I’m really proud of Jordy’s rebound today after a tough start. It’s fantastic for her and she did an awesome job out there in the conditions.

Overall, we did some great things but I think we got frustrated with the wind as well. I always say the wind has to be our friend.

WE have to make good educated guesses when the conditions are tough like that. I’m really looking forward to the opportunity tomorrow and I know this team is too. We are excited for a chance to accomplish our goals.
