Princeton prevails by a shot in Ivy League Championship at Hidden Creek


   Princeton held on to capture its first title since 2013 as the Tigers prevailed in a tight three-way race with Columbia and defending champion Yale when the Ivy League Championship wrapped up Sunday at Hidden Creek Golf Club in Egg Harbor Township, N.J.
   The Tigers had grabbed the lead with an opening round of 4-over-par 288 over the 7,003-yard, par-71 Hidden Creek layout and still held a two-shot advantage over Yale going into Sunday’s final round.
   Behind a 1-over 72 from Evan Quinn, a junior from Morristown, N.J., Princeton carded a solid 7-over 291 in the final round to edge hard-charging Columbia by a shot and Yale by two shots. The Tigers earned the Ivy League’s automatic bid to the NCAA regionals. The regional fields will be unveiled on The Golf Channel May 1.
   Quinn had opened with a 3-under 68 Friday before struggling to a 6-over 77 in Saturday’s second round. None of the websites makes mention of Saturday’s weather, but I’m pretty sure the rain held on for a long time at the Jersey Shore and the scores seem to indicate that the conditions were not the best.
   Quinn’s even-par effort in the final round left him alone in second place behind individual champion James Nicholas, Yale’s senior captain from Scarsdale, N.Y. who also closed with an even-par 72 for a 2-over 215 total. Nicholas shared medalist honors with teammate Eoin Leonard of England a year ago when the Bulldogs captured the Ivy League title at Stonewall’s OId Course.
   Columbia, behind a stunning 5-under 66 from Arjun Puri, a sophomore from India, closed with the best team round of the weekend, a 1-under 283, that left the Lions just a shot behind Princeton at 24-over 876.
   Puri had posted respective rounds of 81 and 75 Friday and Saturday before erupting with the best individual round of the weekend that vaulted him into the group tied for 15th at 9-over 222.
   Yale, behind Nicholas’ championship effort, matched Princeton’s final-round 291 to come up two shots shy of a repeat title at 25-over 877. The Bulldogs came to Hidden Creek on a real roll, having won the team titles in the Princeton Invitational and their Yale Spring Invitational last weekend.
   Penn finished up with a 6-over 290 to earn a share of fourth place with Dartmouth at 35-over 887, 10 shots behind Yale. The Big Green also closed with a 6-over 290.
   Harvard was another three shots behind Penn and Dartmouth in sixth place at 38-over 890 after a final round of 8-over 292.
   Backing up Quinn for Princeton was Sam Clayman, a sophomore from Dallas who was one of three players tied for third at 5-over 218, a shot behind Quinn. Clayman, who contributed a 2-under 69 to Princeton’s strong start Friday, closed with a 2-over 73.
   Max Ting, a freshman from Atherton, Calif., was part of seven-man logjam tied for seventh at 7-over 220 after his final-round 75. Jake Mayer, a sophomore from Scotch Plains, N.J., closed with a solid 2-over 73 to finish in a tie for 22nd place at 225. Ting and Mayer each contributed a 1-over 72 for Princeton in Saturday’s tough conditions.
   Jack Roberts, a sophomore from Wellesley, Mass., rounded out the Princeton lineup as he finished among the group tied for 26th at 227.
   Roberts’ final round of 2-over 73 was a crucial counter for the Tigers. His eagle on the par-5 17th turned out to be pretty big in the final accounting.
   Nicholas took control of the individual race with a 2-under 69 in Saturday’s tough conditions and closed with an even-par 72 to win his second straight individual Ivy title at 2-over 215. It’s expected Nicholas will receive an invitation to compete as an individual in an NCAA regional.
   Sharing third with Princeton’s Clayman at 5-over 218 were Nicholas’ teammate Teddy Zinsner, a sophomore from Alexandria, Va., and Penn’s Mitchell Cornell, a sophomore from Incline Village, Nev.
   Zinsner, who has been playing some really solid golf this spring, closed with a 2-under 70. Cornell had matched par in the second round with a 71 and closed with a 2-over 73.
   Cornell was led by Jack Cen, a senior from China who finished alone in sixth place at 6-over 219 after finishing up with a 2-over 73.
    Penn got solid showings from its three seniors in their final appearances in the Ivy League Championship.
   Josh Goldenberg of Scarsdale, N.Y. and Zareh Kaloustian of Sherman Oaks, Calif. finished in a tie for 13th place at 8-over 221. Goldenberg carded a 2-under 70 in Saturday’s second round before closing with a 3-over 75. Kaloustian closed his Penn career with a 2-under 70 in Sunday’s final round.
   Carter Thompson of Tallahassee, Fla. closed with a solid 1-over 72 to finish in the group tied for 26th at 227. Thompson started his career at Florida State, but proved to be a solid addition to the roster for the Quakers.
   Rounding out the Penn lineup was Brandon Wang, a sophomore from Bradenton, Fla. who finished alone in 38th place at 238 after sandwiching a second-round 80 with a pair of 79s.
   Three freshmen out of the Inter-Ac League teed it up in the Ivy League Championship and played pretty well in their debuts.
   Harvard’s Brian Isztwan, a former Penn Charter standout who made the American Junior Golf Association’s 2017 Transamerica Scholastic Junior All-America team, finished in the group tied for 26th at 227. After a shaky 80 in the opening round, Isztwan bounced back with a 1-over 72 Saturday before closing with a 3-over 75.
   Isztwan’s former Penn Charter teammate, Noah Schwartz, playing for Cornell, finished in a tie for 32nd place at 234. Schwartz opened with a 75 and added a 78 in Saturday’s second round before closing with an 81.
   Brown’s Cole Kemmerer, a junior on Episcopal Academy’s 2016 Inter-Ac League championship team, finished his freshman season with one of only a handful of sub-70 rounds recorded over the weekend, a sparkling 2-under 69. It came on the heels of a pair of 83s in the first two rounds as he finished among the group tied for 34th at 235.
