Quotes: Head coach Casey Martin –

"We played well today, particularly Edwin and Wyndham. The Colonial Country Club is a difficult course and today's scores were very encouraging. Tomorrow will be a very telling day for us. A big jump or a top-five finish would be great to start the year off strong."

Up Next: The Ducks will play the final round on Tuesday, Oct. 4, teeing off at the first hole at 6:15 a.m. PT.

Looking Ahead: From Oct. 10-11, the Ducks will head to Denver, Colo. for the Paintbrush Intercollegiate at the Colorado Golf Club.
