Three players placed in the top 20
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Dartmouth had three players finish in the top 20 at the Yale Invitational on Saturday as the Big Green men's golf team finished the one-day, two-round tournament in sixth place out of 15 teams at 22-over par (582).
Senior Mark Turner carded the low score for Dartmouth with a 4-over 144, tying for ninth, while senior Charles Petrie provided the low round of the day with a 2-under 68 on his second tour of the 6,795, par-70 Yale Golf Course. That 68 was 10 strokes better than his first round, leaving him with a 146 (+6) to tie for 18th. Graduate Jason Liu had a consistent day with a 73-72—145 (+5), tying for 12th.
Turner's day began with pars on each of the first eight holes, before he took a roller coaster ride with three bogeys, a double bogey and a birdie to sit at 4-over par with three holes remaining. But he finished with a flourish, sinking an eagle on the 553-yard, par-5 16th hole before dropping birdies on 17 an 18 to make it back to even par for the round. He then parred every hole on the front nine in his second round and entered the final hole at 2-over before suffering a double bogey to fall back from fifth place into ninth.
Liu completed his 36 holes with five birdies and 21 pars to close out the day at 5-over par. Things looked up for Petrie when he birdied his first hole, but that was his only one in the first round as he carded a 78 (+8). He added four more birdies to his ledger in the second round while suffering just two bogeys, climbing 36 places on the leaderboard into 18th.
Also scoring in both rounds for the Big Green was fifth-year senior James Turner who birdied one hole in each round and completed his journey with a 75-72—147 (+7), good for a tie for 25th.
Host Yale won the tournament by two strokes ahead of Temple thanks to shooting even par in the second round to climb from seventh place to the top of the leaderboard at 14-over par (574). Drexel placed third at 18-over, while Siena and Sacred Heart tied for fourth at 20-over par, two strokes ahead of the Big Green.
Drexel's Tafadzwa Nyamukondiwa was one of only two players to break par over the two rounds, besting Sacred Heart's Marcus Lim by a single stroke with a 137 (-3) to take home medalist honors.
Dartmouth will conclude the regular season with the Ivy League Championship next weekend at The Century Club in Purchase, New York. The three-round tournament will begin on Friday, April 22 with one round played each day.
