POST-ROUND COMMENTS
Texas head coach John Fields
On the second round: The golf course played a little bit harder today. There were a few good team scores out there, and ours was one of those at 281. It was hard-fought, though. We got off to a so-so start. Cody Gribble got off to a slow start and was 5-over at the turn, but then he shot a 32 on the back. The measure of our round was that we showed a lot of patience today and every guy fought for his round. I feel like everybody fought really hard today to be where we are. We have given ourselves an opportunity to win tomorrow.

On Lance Lopez's performance: Lance obviously has turned up big for us these last few rounds with a 68 yesterday and again today. And today's was even better given the challenges the golf course presented. I'm happy for him. He has the experience and has played well at past NCAA regionals. This one has not been any different. We really needed that round.
