The Governors had to battle the elements today, with rain pushing the start of play by an hour and affecting the course and competitors throughout the day.

“Today was extremely long, cold and wet,” said head coach Sara Robson. “It made the conditions on the course very tough. I’m proud of how we fought through the weather and stayed focused on the course.”

Final-round action kicks off 8:00am (CT), Saturday. The Govs will be paired with Ohio and Louisiana Monroe, starting on hole No. 4.
