When your team's best score on the day is a 78, you are going to be in last place. 78, 79, 82, 85, 86. Oh my.
A bit of redemption, as the team improved its score by 27 strokes in round 2, finishing in the middle of the pack for the day. But when the field has already lapped you after the first round, there's no chance for a good result. Cardinal moved up 2 spots, to 14 of 16 teams. Probably won't improve much from there, as it's a long way to the top 10.
In the category of "what a difference a day makes," Shimp went from 86 yesterday to 73 today and Thorbjornsen went from 85 to 71. There is only one golfer in the whole tournament who is under par, so the course is brutal.
