Mason finished an impressive 2nd out of 22 teams this past weekend at the Elon/Sea Trail Intercollegiate Tournament. The event was held at the par 72, 6,761 yard, Rees Jones Golf Course in Sunset Beach, North Carolina with 18 holes being played on Saturday and Sunday.
After the first day of competition the Patriots were in a three-way tie for second with Samford University and Jacksonville University, scoring a 293. Nick DeSimone (Sykesville, Md./Liberty) and Mike Cavanagh (Perham, Minn./Hibbing) led the Patriots as the top two scorers. Desimone shot a one-over par 73, while Cavanagh shot a three-under par 69 on the first day.
The second day was even better for the Patriots as they improved upon their first day total by six strokes, shooting a 287, which is the fourth best 18-hole team score in school history. Cavanagh again paced the Patriots with a two-under par 70; Desimone improved his score from the first day by two strokes, shooting a one-under par 71. Teammate Daniel Hurley was impressive as well on the second day as he also recorded a one-under par 71. Cavanagh's 139 placed him in second for the tournament, one stroke off of first place, and a third-best 36-hole total in Mason history.
Rutgers University held on to their lead from the first day shooting a three-over par 291 on Sunday, enough for them to defeat the Patriots by one stroke and win the Elon/Sea Trail Intercollegiate Tournament.
In the individual results for the tournament Michael Kosup of Rutgers University was the overall winner with a six-under par 138. Kosup was able to overcome Jacksonville University's Duncan Stewart who was the individual leader after day one, with a four-under par 68, but shot a one-over par 73 on the final day, earning him a third place finish.
