NEW HARTFORD, NY – The Williams Men’s golf team completed their first round at the Hamilton Invitational, shooting a 322 team total and is currently sitting in 6th place behind Skidmore (300), Hamilton (307), Salem State (315), and NYU and Manhattanville (318).
 
Early on the players fought through some high winds and cold air, as Yahnundasis Golf Club held its own with no teams breaking 300 today.
 
First Year Jack Ervasti played very solidly today, shooting a nice 77. Chris Valle 2012 continued his strong fall season with a 79. First Year Ryan Brand shot an 82 in his first competitive round in Eph uniform, firing consistent 41’s on each side. Wyatt Sparks 2013 and Siwol Chang 2012 both struggled to find their games today as they shot 84 and 85, respectively.
 
Skidmore had all of their players score in the 70’s and hold a seven stroke lead over host school Hamilton, as the final round will commence tomorrow.
 
The final round will be played at Skenendoa Golf Club in Clinton, NY, and will be a shotgun start at 10:00AM.
 
Tomorrow’s round will wrap up the fall portion of the season for the Men’s golf team, as they look forward to hosting the NESCAC Championship in the spring at the newly renovated Taconic Golf Club, after having won the NESCAC Qualifier last weekend.
