Joomla CSS column layout question

Hi Folks,
I am using a template called "siteground-j15-63" for my site. The CSS creates a layout of articles with the top article across one column, but all articles below it in 2 columns.

I am looking to edit the CSS to make it 1 column throughout. Any ideas how I do this?
Many thanks,
Cheers,
Wilson
