Flanagan claims individual title and leads Minnesota to dominant victory in The Macdonald Cup


   Getting a 1-2 finish from Angus Flanagan, a junior from England, and junior Evan Long, who finished third in the 2016 PIAA Class AA Championship as a senior at Laurel, Minnesota dominated The Macdonald Cup at The Course at Yale in New Haven, Conn. over the weekend.
   The Macdonald Cup honors the memory of legendary golf course architect Charles Blair (C.B.) Macdonald, a true pioneer of the game in this country whose classic designs include The Course at Yale.
   Flanagan has shown an affinity for the classic American designs as he was the co-champion when last spring’s Big Ten Championship was staged at Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon Course, an A.W. Tillinghast masterpiece.
   Flanagan was at his best at The Course at Yale, opening with rounds of 3-under-par 67 and 1-under 69 in Saturday’s double round over the 6,810-yard, par-70 layout. He added a 2-under 68 in Sunday’s final round for a 6-under 204 total that gave him a three-shot victory over his teammate Long.
   Long was right with Flanagan through Saturday’s double round, adding a 67 to his opening-round 69 before closing with a 1-over 71 that left him alone in second place at 3-under 207.
   The Gophers built a big lead with rounds of 6-under 274 and 5-under 275 in Saturday’s double round. They closed with a 1-over 281 Sunday for a 10-under 830 that was 24 shots clear of runnerup Princeton. It was Minnesota’s first team title since it won the Big Ten Championship in 2014.
   The reigning Ivy League champion Tigers fired a 1-under 279 in Saturday afternoon’s second round after opening with a 289. They finished up with a 6-over 286 for a 14-over 854 total that left them in second place and ahead of several of their Ivy rivals that teed it up in the 12-team field.
   Yale was right with Princeton after Saturday’s double round as the Bulldogs opened with a 1-over 281 before adding a 7-over 287 in the afternoon. Yale closed with a 12-over 292 to take third place at 20-over 860.
   Bucknell was another six shots behind Yale in fourth place at 26-over 866, the Bison finishing up with a 13-over 293. Bucknell opened with a 291 before posting a solid 2-over 282 in Saturday afternoon’s second round.
   Penn struggled in the final round with a 298 to fall back into fifth place at 29-over 969, three shots behind Bucknell. The Quakers opened with solid rounds of 282 and 289 in Saturday’s double round.
It was the second tournament of the season for La Salle and the Explorers finished in 10th place at 66-over 908. La Salle bounced back from an opening-round 306 with a 297 in Saturday’s second round before finishing up with a 302 in Sunday’s final round.
   La Salle opened its season by finishing 13th of 14 teams in The Doc Gimler, hosted by St. John’s at Bethpage State Park’s Red Course on Long Island the weekend of Sept. 14 and 15.
   Minnesota had two more players finish among the top seven in the individual standings in the Macdonald Cup. Connor Glynn, a freshman from Waconia, Minn., ended up in a tie for fifth place at 1-over 211 and Thomas Longbella, a senior from Chippewa Falls, Wis., finished alone in seventh place at 2-over 212.
   Glynn contributed a 1-under 69 and an even-par 70 to the Gophers’ strong showing in Saturday’s double round before closing with a 2-over 72. After opening with a 71, Longbella fired a 1-under 69 in Saturday afternoon’s second round before finishing up with a 2-over 72.
   Noah Rasinski, a senior from Credit River, Minn., also contributed a 1-under 69 to Minnesota’s opening round. He backed off with a 77 in the second round before closing with a 1-over 71 to finish among the group tied for 13th place at 7-over 217.
   The Macdonald Cup allowed for six-man teams with the top four counting as usual. Rounding out the Minnesota lineup was Harrison Arnold, a freshman from England who closed with a 1-over 71 to land among the group tied for 25th place at 220.
   Princeton’s Guy Waterhouse, a junior from South Africa, finished two shots behind Minnesota’s Long in third place in the individual standings at 1-under 209. Waterhouse had the low round of the weekend, a sizzling 4-under 66 in Saturday afternoon’s second round that left him just a shot behind Minnesota’s Flanagan and Long in the individual chase heading into Sunday’s final round.
   Waterhouse had opened with a 1-over 71. A final round of 2-over 72 still left him as one of just three players to finish under par for three rounds over The Course at Yale.
   Penn’s Mitchell Cornell, a junior from Incline Village, Nev., finished alone in fourth place at even-par 210. After opening with a 2-under 68, Cornell carded a pair of 1-over 71s.
   Joining Minnesota’s Glynn in the tie for fifth at 2-over 212 was Yale’s Teddy Zinsner, a junior from Alexandria, Va. who opened with a 1-under 69 and matched par in Saturday afternoon’s second round before closing with a 2-over 72.
   Zinsner and Penn’s Cornell are two of the Ivy’s top returnees as they were in a group of three players who finished tied for third in last spring’s Ivy League Championship at Hidden Creek Golf Club at the Jersey Shore.
   Colgate’s Alejo Soto, a senior from Newton, Mass., finished alone in eighth place, two shots behind Minnesota’s Longbella at 4-over 214. Soto fired a 2-under 68 in Saturday afternoon’s second round before closing with a 74.
   Penn’s Mark Haghani, a sophomore from Wilson, Wyo., and Princeton’s Jake Meyer, a junior from Scotch Plains, N.J., rounded out the top 10 as they finished in a tie for ninth place at 5-over 215.
   Haghani was just two shots out of the lead in the individual standings after adding a 2-under 68 to his opening-round 70. But he fell back with a closing 77. Meyer’s final round of even-par 70 was his best of the weekend.
   Penn’s next highest finisher after the top-10 showings by Cornell and Haghani was Carter Prince, a sophomore from Centerport, N.Y. who landed in the group tied for 34th at 223. Prince contributed an even-par 70 to the Quakers’ solid opening round before struggling to rounds of 77 and 76.
   Anthony Basilio, a freshman from Knoxville, Tenn., finished alone in 51st place at 229, struggling to a final-round 82 after solid rounds of 74 and 73 in Saturday’s double round. Eric Ganshaw, a senior from Greenwich, Conn., bounced back from an 84 in Saturday afternoon’s second round with a counting 4-over 74 in the final round as he ended up in the group tied for 61st place at 236.
   Rounding out the Penn lineup was Caleb Blackburn, a sophomore from Colorado Springs, Colo. who ended up in the group tied for 64th place at 238. Blackburn opened with a solid 4-over 74 before struggling to rounds of 84 and 80.
   La Salle was led by junior David Kim, who starred scholastically at Upper Dublin. Kim opened with a 1-over 71 and added a 75 before closing with a 73 to land in the group tied for 22nd place at 9-over 219.
   Ron Fischang, a junior from McKinney, Texas, closed with his best round of the weekend, a 3-over 73, to finish among the group tied for 40th place at 225. Sophomore Parker Wine, a scholastic standout at Unionville, finished among the group tied for 53rd place at 234. His best round of the weekend was a 3-over 73 in Saturday afternoon’s second round.
   Matt Werner, a sophomore from West Linn, Ore., also contributed a 3-over 73 to the Explorers’ best team round Saturday afternoon as he finished alone in 57th place at 234.
   A couple of La Salle’s top freshmen, Karsen Rush, a Chambersburg product, and Nikita Romanov, a scholastic standout at Mount Pleasant in Delaware, rounded out the lineup for the Explorers at The Course at Yale.
   Rush added a 76 to his opening round 79 in Saturday’s double round before closing with an 80 that left him in the group tied for 58th place at 235. Romanov sandwiched a 77 in Saturday afternoon’s second round with a pair of 80s. Rush and Romanov had made their college debuts at The Doc Gimler.
   Bucknell got a strong showing from senior Peter Bradbeer, a Friend’s Central product who was the winner of the 2017 Patterson Cup, a Golf Association of Philadelphia major championship. Bradbeer added a pair of 2-over 72s to his opening-round 75 to finish in the group tied for 22nd place at 9-over 219.
   Junior Chris Tanabe, the 2016 PIAA Class AA champion as a senior at Quaker Valley, started strong for the Bison with an even-par 70, but struggled with rounds of 75 and 80 to land in the group tied for 44th place at 226. Tanabe, winner of the Pennsylvania Amateur at Aronimink Golf Club this summer, was coming off an individual win in the Dartmouth Invitational.
   Brown, which finished in 12th place with an 83-over 923 total, was led by freshman Luca Jezzeny, a Central Bucks West product who was one of the top players in District One a year ago. Jezzeny lost in a playoff to Central Bucks East’s Patrick Sheehan in the District One Class AAA Championship and finished eighth in the PIAA Class AAA Championship.
   Jezzeny ended up in the group tied for 11th at 6-over 216 as he opened with a 2-over 72 and matched par in Saturday’s second round with a 70 before closing with a 74.
   Sophomore Cole Kemmerer, who helped Episcopal Academy capture the 2016 Inter-Ac League crown as a junior, finished in the group tied for 58th at 235 for the Bears. After rounds of 76 and 77 in Saturday’s double round, Kemmerer struggled to an 82 in Sunday’s final round.
