[Bankruptcyman]

Finished behind 5 conference mates. A disappointing initial effort.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Yes, very disappointed.

[RaginFan2]

Got off to a good start, then faltered. Especially the lower half of the squad.

[CajunVic]

Got off to a good start, then faltered. Especially the lower half of the squad.

Not really. Three did better second day and three did worse. Each had bad rounds half the time.

[Turbine]

Not really. Three did better second day and three did worse. Each had bad rounds half the time.

The good start referred to was premature. If I read/heard correctly, they were leading halfway through round one
