Georgetown’s Sam Madsen, a junior from Madison, Wis., had
the day’s best round, a 5-under-par 66 Tuesday at The Players Club at Four
Streams in Beallsville, Md. to help the Hoyas hold on for a runnerup finish in
their Georgetown Intercollegiate.
Madsen was unable to overtake Notre Dame’s Ben Albin, a
sophomore from Sante Fe, N.M., for the individual title. Albin added a 3-under
68 over the 7,129, par-71 Four Streams layout to rounds of 66 and 68 he shot in
Monday’s double round to take the individual title at 11-under 202.
Madsen had rounds of 71 and 67 Monday and his sizzling 66
gave him a 9-under 204 total and a solid hold on second place, two shots back
of Albin.
Albin led the Fighting Irish to a convincing win in the team
chase as they carded a final round of 2-over 286 for a 6-under 846 total.
Georgetown, the reigning Big East champion, had a final-round 294 and finished
12 shots back of Notre Dame at 6-over 858.
Rhode Island had the day’s best round, a 3-under 281, to
finish in a tie for third with DePaul, which carded an even-par 284, at 9-over
861. Eastern Michigan, with a final-round 295, took fifth at 10-over 866.
Temple, with a solid final round of 5-over 289, moved into
sixth place at 870. Princeton, with a final-round 295, was another two shots
back in seventh at 872. Saint Joseph’s had a final-round 298 and finished last
in the 12-team field at 919.
In addition to Madsen, Georgetown’s team scorers included
Andrew Rudy, a senior from San Diego who finished in a tie for 18th
at 218, junior Cole Berman, a two-time Inter-Ac League champion at Haverford
School who finished in a tie for 21st at 219, Jack Musgrave, a
junior from Chesterton, Ind. who finished in a tie for 28th at 221,
and Hardin Councill, a freshman from High Point, N.C. who finished in a tie for
48th at 228.
In Tuesday’s final round, Rudy had a 74, Musgrave a 76 and
Berman a 78 and the Hoyas were able to toss an 80 from Councill, although the
freshman had a solid first day with rounds of 73 and 75.
Georgetown got several nice performances from its individual
entries, led by Austin Rendell, a senior from Winnetka, Ill. Rendell carded an
even-par 71 and finished alone in 10th place at 1-under 212. Anthony
Perrino, a sophomore from Concord, N.C., had a final-round 78 and finished in a
tie for 32nd at 222, Patrick DiPasquale had a final-round 79 to
finish in a tie for 35th and Kevin Jackson, a sophomore from Atlanta,
had a final-round 74 to finish in 44th at 226.
Berman ran into his Inter-Ac rival from Malvern Prep,
Michael Davis, a junior at Princeton, and Davis got the best of Berman this
time with a final round of even-par 71 to finish two shots better than Berman
at 4-over 217. Berman defeated Davis in the 2015 BMW Philadelphia Amateur final
at Llanerch Country Club.
Temple’s Trey Wren, a sophomore from Suffolk, Va., finished
off a strong performance with a 1-under 70 that enabled him to finish fourth in
the individual standings at 4-under 209.
Also for the Owls, Mark Farley, a junior out of Calvary
Christian Academy, had a 74 to finish in a tie for 21st at 219,
redshirt freshman Erik Reisner, a two-time Central League champion at Harriton,
had a 72 to finish in a tie for 32nd at 222, sophomore Sam Soeth,
the former Marple Newtown standout, had a 78 to finish in a tie for 40th
at 225 and John Barone, a redshirt sophomore from Dunmore, had a 73 to finish
in a tie for 50th at 229.
In addition to Albin's winning performance, Notre Dame got another top-10 showing from Blake Barens, a
senior from Villa Park, Calif. who had a final-round 71 to finish in a five-way
tie for fifth at 2-under 211.
Rhode Island had a pair of top-10 finishes, led by Billy
Walthouse, a senior from Longmeadow, Mass. who had a final-round 71 to finish
alone in third place at 6-under 207. Graduate student Chris Houston, a member
of Penn State’s NCAA regional qualifying squad last spring, fired a 3-under 68
for the Rams to climb into the tie for fifth at 2-under 211.
Eastern Michigan accounted for two of the five players in
that logjam at 211, Kyle Rodes, a senior from Plymouth, Mich. who had a
final-round 72, and Nic Ross, a junior from Canada who had a final-round 72.
The last member of that fivesome at 2-under was DePaul’s
Jonathan Hewett, a senior from England who matched par in the final round with
a 71.
Saint Joseph’s was led by Michael O’Brien, a freshman from
West Chester, Ohio who had a final-round 77 to finish in a tie for 45th
at 227. Ross Pilliod, a sophomore out of Berks Catholic and an occasional
Stonewall caddy this summer, rebounded from a disappointing first day with a
1-under 70 to climb into a tie for 54th at 231.
