NEW HAVEN, CONN. — Senior Peter Williamson (Hanover, N.H.) claimed the individual tournament title at the Macdonald Cup on Sunday, and the Dartmouth men's golf team finished third in the 14-team event at the Yale golf course. Yale won the team title with an overall score of 565 (+5), Princeton took second at 570 (+10) and the Big Green placed third at 573 (+13).

Williamson shot a 1-over-par 71 a day after he carded a 5-under-par 65 to win the tournament with a 4-under-par 136. The Bulldogs' Sam Bernstein finished one shot off the lead with a 3-under-par 137. Branden Chicorka took third with a 1-under-par 139.

The par-70 6,749-yard course played tougher on day two, but Dartmouth held on to third place with help from its other four players.
