On September 21 and 22, the men’s golf team played in The Gauntlet, going up against big competitors like York College, Franklin and Marshall College, Gettysburg College, Drew University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and seven others. The Ducks struggled through the first day, sitting at 13th place, but were able to push through during the second day to finish at 10th place.
The first day was led by first-year Jack Harris at 74 points with a four-over par, making him the top scorer. He hit a three-over 39 on the first half of the course, with pars on six of them, and was only one-over par during the second half of the course. Senior Brock Dickson followed him with a score of 77 from a four-over par on the first half and a three-over par on the second half. Junior Ben Slicker was close behind him at 78, shooting one-under on the first half and a birdie on the second hole. Juniors Sebastian Beaver and Arav Tank rounded out the day with scores of 81 and 84, respectively.
The second day started similarly with Harris going two-under in the second half, and faced birdies in three of the holes, making him the Ducks’ top scorer with a score of 72, and also landed him tied at 11th overall. Slicker ended the day tied at 25th, and Tank ended tied at 51st, both of them hitting a 73. Slicker had a strong closing with a one-over 35, and Tank dominated with a three-over 39 on the first half, and an even par on the second half with two birdies. Both Beaver and Dickson ended tied at 62nd with each other, with Beaver hitting an 80 and Dickson hitting an 84, both boys getting a birdie on a par-three.
The Ducks can be seen on the green again on Sunday, September 28, into Monday, September 29, in the DIII Northeast Elite at Williamsport Country Club in Williamsport, PA.
