Towson head coach Mike Larkin discussing the three consecutive eagles.
"Pretty unbelievable. I've been joking around with the guys about it because it's such a strange thing and there's something surreal about it. No way to explain it to have three guys holing out from 150 yards plus three days in a row. A lot of fun for sure."
Rodrat on his round and eagle.
"Things went my way to day. I had a streak of pars until 17 when I hit a nice shot and it took two hops and went in the hole from 170 yards. That was pretty special. I kept grinding for pars really. It wasn't as windy as yesterday but it wasn't easy either. (Three eagles by one team on three straight days) is very crazy. The other teams have no eagles and we have three so that's pretty spectacular."
