With Daigneault being a fellow lefty, his heart was undoubtedly pumping standing over the tee shot.

While appearing on 105.3 The Fan on Saturday, Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian addressed the game and Manning’s development as he continues to evaluate his signal-callers.
“He’s on the right trajectory that he should be on,” Sarkisian said. “He’s a true freshman in college. He really should still be in high school.

After pushing his tees shot well-right on No. 12, he took a close look at his driver head looking for a potential crack. He was able to make par on the hole, but a similar scenario unfolded on No. 13.
