Sept. 8, 2008

Despite being in fifth place, the Vikings are within striking distance of the top of the leaderboard, just 10 shots out of first place and six shots out of third place.

"It was an odd day out there for us," head coach Steve Weir said. "Everybody hit the ball well, but we just couldn't score. The greens were very tough because they haven't had much rain out here so you couldn't go at the pins. We'll have a little team meeting tonight and come out tomorrow and try to move up the standings."
