The Tennessee men\u2019s golf team continues to climb the leaderboard at the NCAA Championships in Carlsbad, California. A 3rd round total of 1-under leaves Tennessee four shots out of 8th heading into the final day of stroke play. Volquest<\/a> caught up with coach Brennan Webb<\/a> to get his thoughts on the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cA little up, little down,\u201d Webb said. \u201cCertainly had an incredibly good start, dream start really. Then we turned back into the wind and struggled a little bit for a few holes and then had a good strong finish with some clutch up and downs on the last couple holes. Jackson (Herrington) making birdie on 18 Lance making a great par. And Josh getting up and down for par. So all in all, pretty ecstatic to be one of the last 15 teams standing at the end of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The field was cut in half after Sunday\u2019s round. There are several good teams competing to get into the final eight for match play starting on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s going to require a really good round of golf,\u201d Webb said. \u201cThere\u2019s probably seven or eight teams for probably one or two spots. And so it\u2019ll take a special round on us to be probably the low score of those guys and go from there and see what the day holds.\u201d<\/p>\n

At one point, Tennessee had the best round on the course and for a time were 9-under for the round as a team. They hit a wall after turning back into the wind and that\u2019s just part of the game. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just college golf,\u201d Webb said. \u201cYou turn back into the wind and there\u2019s super hard holes and a couple of guys miss a couple short putts and don\u2019t get it up and down. It looks like it\u2019s a lull, but it\u2019s really not. It\u2019s just part of the action of 18 holes when you\u2019re counting 5 guys and they just happen to bunch up today, but certainly nothing to be alarmed or concerned about it. It was more just the tough conditions in that moment while we were playing those holes I think that\u2019s more to explain it than anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Webb is proud of his team. He feels like they\u2019ve battled hard all week and they\u2019ve certainly given themselves a chance tomorrow with a really good round. \ufffc<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think anybody ever thinks, oh, well, we maxed out our potential,\u201d Webb said about potentially having not played their best to this point. \u201cBut I think that we\u2019ve battled all week and that\u2019s the thing that I\u2019m most proud of. I think we didn\u2019t really take advantage of our early tee time the first day and that kind of put us a little bit behind the 8 ball, but man, we\u2019ve battled these last 36 holes to give ourselves a chance to get into match play tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tennessee will be in the first groupings out which start around 1:30 eastern time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tennessee men\u2019s golf team continues to climb the leaderboard at the NCAA Championships in Carlsbad, California.
