"This golf course is unbelievable and the competition has been tremendous," assistant coach LTC Chad Bagley stated. "Peter Kim had a great day and it was good to see him play to his potential."

"This venue will punish you if you're a little bit off of the teeing ground, and that's where we struggled today. We are really proud of the effort and focus by our team, and are looking forward to competing tomorrow at this venue against some great teams. "

ARMY HIGHLIGHTS AND ROUND NOTES

Peter Kim carded an even-par 70 to lead the Black Knights, as he tallied three birdies during his round.
Additionally, Justin Pagila and Matt Plunkett each shot an eight-over-par 78 to finish behind Kim.

Meanwhile, hole No. 9 continued to be the hardest to play, with just 11 birdies, 58 bogeys and 17 double-bogeys made over the two rounds.
