TOP QUOTES
"It was a beautiful day today," head coach Mike McGraw said. "We got some good weather and the kids played well. It was a nice way to get a decent finish after a tough start. We actually started the tournament really poorly. "We were 10-over through five holes, and we finished the tournament 4-under par. We just dug too deep of a hole right off the bat."

"There's a reason you have 54 holes in a tournament," McGraw said. "They were all playing fine. They just really got off to a tough start. It's what you expect out of them, and what they expect out of themselves to come back. It's what I expect out of them as a coach. Golf is that way. You are going to get off to some bad starts, and you just have to hang in there, and they did."

WHAT'S NEXT
The Bears head to Los Cabos, Mexico for the Querencia Cabo Collegiate, which runs March 1-3. The tournament will be hosted at the Querencia Country Club. Follow @BaylorMGolf on twitter for updates throughout the season.
