"Sometimes it's better to miss the green than be in the middle of the green putting downwind," Woodland said. "We tried to play into the wind all day today, and we did that. We controlled the golf ball enough where we did that and gave ourselves a lot of chances."

"Today I hit a soft lob wedge," Reed said. "The ball is just going forever downwind, and into the wind the ball is going nowhere. You have to be patient and make putts whenever you have opportunity."
