Auburn turned a one-stroke deficit into an eleven-stroke lead after firing a two-over-par 282. Florida and LSUare tied for second place.
"We just got off to an awful start today," MSU head coach Greg Martin said following Saturday's round. "Notto make excuses, but this is the first competition of this calibre for all but one of our guys, and I think that hasplayed a factor."
"But we are playing a lot better than the scores indicate on a very difficult golf course. We will get back outthere tomorrow and compete."
