Stankey, Zinsner lead Yale to Princeton Invitational title; Penn finishes second, Temple takes third


   Yale, getting a 1-2 finish in the individual standings from Paul Stankey, a sophomore from Wayzata, Minn., and Teddy Zinsner, a sophomore from Alexandria, Va., capped a strong weekend showing in the Princeton Invitational Sunday at Springdale Golf Club by successfully defending its team title by 14 shots.
   The performance by the Bulldogs overshadowed a couple of really strong showings for their Ivy League rival Penn and Temple, which finished second and third, respectively.
   Yale had opened up a seven-shot lead over the Quakers with rounds of 5-under-par 279 and 14-under 270 in Saturday’s double-round. The Bulldogs’ final round of 4-under 280 over the 6,415-yard, par-71 Springdale layout Sunday enabled them to finish with a 23-under 829 total in what, I’m guessing, was the nicest two days of weather the Princeton Invitational has seen in a while.
   Penn closed with a 3-over 287, but held onto second place with a solid 9-under 843 total. Temple matched the low team round of the day with a 5-under 279 that gave the Owls a program-record 5-under 847 total and a solid third-place finish, four shots behind the Quakers.
   Seton Hall matched Temple’s 5-under 279 in Sunday’s final round and was another three shots behind the Owls in fourth place with a 2-under 850 total. Loyola of Maryland, behind a strong tie for third by sophomore Evan Brown, who starred scholastically at Kennett, was a shot behind Seton Hall in fifth at 1-under 851 after a final round of 1-over 285.
   A third City 6 program, Saint Joseph’s, teed it up in the Princeton Invitational and finished 10th in the 13-team field with a 24-over 876 total after a final round of 10-over 294. The Hawks had a solid even-par 284 in Saturday afternoon’s second round.
   Stankey and Zinsner entered the final round tied, along with Princeton’s Jake Mayer, a sophomore from Scotch Plains, N.J., for the individual lead at 8-under 134. Stankey carded a solid 4-under 68 Sunday to claim individual medalist honors at 11-under 202. Zinsner wasn’t bad, posting a 2-under 70 to finish alone in second at 9-under 204.
   Backing up the top two for Yale was James Nicholas, a senior from Scarsdale, N.Y. who matched Stankey’s final round of 4-under 68 to finish alone in sixth at 6-under 207.
   Eoin Leonard, a senior from England, had the final counter for Yale, a 3-over 74 that left him among the group tied for 28th at 4-over 217. Nicholas and Leonard were the co-medalists in the Ivy League Championship a year ago at the Old Course at Stonewall as they led Yale to the conference championship.
   The Bulldogs’ performance this weekend would seem to indicate that they have designs on repeating that feat when the Ivy League Championship tees off April 19 at Hidden Creek Golf Club in Egg Harbor Township, N.J.
   First, they’ll play host for the Yale Spring Invitational this weekend on The Course at Yale, one of the best campus courses in America, a classic design by Seth Raynor with some help from his mentor, C.B. Macdonald. It’s one of those courses that makes you a better player just by playing it.
   Rounding out the lineup for Yale in the Princeton Invitational was Sean Yi, a sophomore from Auburn, Wash. who finished in the group tied for 69th at 228 after a final-round 79.
   Loyola of Maryland’s Brown, coming off a third-place finish in the Golden Horseshoe Invitational in Williamsburg, Va. a couple of weeks ago, capped a solid weekend at Springdale with a 2-under 70 Sunday to get a piece of third place with an 8-under 205 total.
   Joining him at that figure were Princeton’s Mayer, who competed as an individual, and Penn’s Mitchell Cornell, a sophomore from Incline Village, Nev. Mayer, after sharing the top spot after two rounds, cooled off a little as he matched par in the final round with a 71.
   Cornell posted a final round of 2-under 70 as he led the way for Penn by getting a piece of third place in the individual standings.
   Georgetown’s Harden Councill, a junior from High Point, N.C., fired a 4-under 68 in Sunday’s final round to finish alone in seventh, a shot behind Yale’s Nicholas at 5-under 208.
   Temple senior Gary McCabe, a Collegeville resident who was a scholastic standout at La Salle, led the way for the Owls as he posted a final round of 2-under 70 to share eighth place with Penn’s Carter Thompson, a senior from Tallahassee, Fla., and Councill’s Georgetown teammate, Eduardo Blochtein, a junior from Delray Beach, Fla.
   Thompson’s 4-under 68 was the low round of the day Sunday for Penn as he gave the Quakers a second finisher inside the top 10. Blochtein matched par in the final round with a 71.
   Backing up Cornell and Thompson for Penn was Josh Goldenberg, a senior from Scarsdale, N.Y. who struggled a little in the final round with a 4-over 75 to finish in the group tied for 18th at 1-over 214.
   Brandon Wang, a sophomore from Bradenton, Fla., carded a final round of 3-over 74 to finish among the group tied for 34th at 5-over 218. Rounding out the Penn lineup was Zareh Kaloustian, a senior from Sherman Oaks, Calif. who finished among the group tied for 52nd. His final-round 79 was a throwout, but Kaloustian contributed a 2-under 69 to Penn’s strong 9-under 275 in Saturday’s second round.
   The best round of the day, a 4-under 67, belonged to Temple’s John Barone, a redshirt senior from Dunmore. That enabled him to climb into a tie for 11th with a 3-under 210 total. Trey Wren, a senior from Suffolk, Va., capped a solid weekend with a 2-over 73 that left him among the group tied for 16th at even-par 213.
   Redshirt junior Erik Reisner, a two-time Central League champion at Harriton, also saved his best for last, a sparkling 2-under 69 that left him in the group tied for 42nd at 7-over 220. Rounding out the Temple lineup was freshman Conor McGrath, an Academy of the New Church product who joined Reisner in the group tied for 46th at 220. McGrath was solid all weekend, finishing up with a 3-over 74.
   It was a pretty good weekend for senior Sam Soeth, who I’ve been covering since he was appearing on Philadelphia Section PGA Junior Tour leaderboards before he got to Marple Newtown. Soeth, competing as an individual, struggled in the opening round with a 77, but fired a 3-under 68 in Saturday afternoon’s second round and closed with a 3-over 74 to finish among the group tied for 40th at 6-over 219.
   Brian Quinn’s Owls will play in the Explorer Invitational, a one-day event April 15 at LuLu Country Club. This weekend should give them a little momentum heading to The American Championship, which opens April 21, Easter Sunday, at the Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Fla.
Saint Joseph’s was led by Michael O’Brien, a junior from West Chester, Ohio who matched par in the final round to finish among the group tied for 18th at 1-over 214.
   Sophomore Wills Montgomery, who starred scholastically at Downingtown East, and junior Richard Riva, a Lancaster Catholic product, both landed in the group tied for 28th at 4-over 217. Montgomery, who has really had a strong spring, was the medalist for the day for the Hawks with a 1-under 70 in Sunday’s final round. Riva closed with a 2-over 73.
   Senior Ross Pilliod, who was a Berks Catholic standout, struggled in the final round with an 80 to finish in the group tied for 69th at 228. Rounding out the St. Joe’s lineup was junior Reed Winkler, a Salesianum product, closed with an 82 to finish 75th at 239.
   Harvard, which closed with its best round of the weekend, a 1-over 285 that left the Crimson in ninth place at 12-over 864, was led by freshman Brian Isztwan, the best player in the Inter-Ac League his  final two seasons at Penn Charter. Isztwan closed with a 2-over 73 Sunday to finish among the group tied for 16th at even-par 213.
   One of Isztwan’s old Inter-Ac rivals, Brown freshman Cole Kemmerer, who helped Episcopal Academy win its first Inter-Ac title since 1999 during his junior year in 2016, finished alone in 68th place at 227 after a final round of 76. The Bruins finished 12th with a 26-over 878 total.
   Rider sophomore Griffin Smith, a former Council Rock South standout, fell back a little with a 7-over 78 Sunday after posting a pair of solid 1-under 70s in Saturday’s double-round and finished among the group tied for 34th at 5-over 218. The Broncs finished last in the field of 13 with a 33-over 885 total.
