"We struggled a bit finding a rhythm," coach Jon Holmes said. "It seemed the theme of the day was to string a bunch of good holes together and then follow it up with three bad ones.
"We need to find a way to bounce back from a bad hole and not allow it to carry over into the next one."
The Tigers were to get back on the course Tuesday at the third Missota Conference meet of the season slated for River Oaks Golf Club in Cottage Grove. Farmington finished sixth and fifth respectively in the first two league tournaments
