“It was a tough day today, but we kind of hung in there together,” said Titus. “I had a few lucky breaks, I flew one in for eagle from about 80 yards out, and today I had another chip-in.”
“It was just a joy to be out here again,” said Gardner. “It’s nice to be out and playing again in a full field.”
