Williamstown, MA – The Williams Men’s Golf team came out firing today, as they completed their first round atop the Leaderboard, with the Williams “B” team lurking close behind in 5th place.
Jack Killea ‘11 , and Chris Valle ‘12 both shot
impressive rounds of even par 70 today. First-year Wyatt Sparks
followed suit with a 73 in his first competitive round as an Eph.
Juniors Bob Camp ’11 and Jake Wagner ’11 anchored the
scoring with 75’s of their own to contribute to a tally of
288 for the Williams “A” team.
The Williams “B” squad also had a strong showing out
on the course today, as first-year Jack Ervasti put up an
impressive even par round of 70. Drew Murray ’11
bounced back from last week’s tough start with a strong 73 of
his own, and Siwol Chang ’12 supported with a 77. Mario
Mastromarino ’12 rounded out the scoring with a 78 and First
Year Ryan Brand shot an 80 today. The “B” squad tallied
a very respectable 297 for the opening round, leaving them a mere
nine shots behind their compatriots.
Competing Individually, first-years Alex Xu and Hrishi Srinageshi
shot rounds of 81 and 82, respectively.
With the 288 total, Williams “A” holds a two stroke
lead over Salem State, with NYU (294 total), Middlebury (297
total), and Williams “B” (298 total) right in the mix.
“There were some good efforts from a number of our players
out there today,” said Coach Pohle. “Some of our upper
classmen are regaining the form they displayed as freshman. I think
the competition that is developing within the team will only make
us tougher as the season unfolds.”
The Ephs look to hold their lead and finish strong tomorrow in the
final round. Tomorrows tee times will start at 8:00 A.M., as the
Williams “B” team will start teeing off at 8:40, and
the Williams “A” team will start at 9:20, both off the
first tee.
