Bruneau was steady throughout the day for Rhode Island, sinking three birdies while carding two bogeys. He was par or better for the entire round.

"Certainly not what we hoped for, but we're still in this," Rhode Island head coach Gregg Burke said. "Tyler continued to show how much control he is his own game. But we need more from the rest of the team. The golf course is tough but fair.

"Once again we have put ourselves in a position of making a comeback. As it has been all year, we just need to be tougher. Our goal tomorrow is to play our way into the final group on Wednesday."
