“The team seems to be hanging in there with decent scores," BYU head coach Bruce Brockbank said. "Rodgers had another steady round. He is playing really good golf right now. We need to get more consistent play heading into the last day and for our upcoming tournaments. It would be nice to shoot par or even better tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how our guys play."
