Sliman's Thoughts
Â
"It was an ideal day for scoring with conditions that were absolutely perfect, but as a collective group we did a poor job. Our guys pressed for results instead of letting the game come to them. The good thing is that we have two rounds left to move up the leaderboard and take advantage of a gettable course. I'm extremely proud of both Peter and Colin to have adversity thrown at them in the very first hole of their round and to bounce back and post a sub-par round. That shows a lot of grit and toughness."
