Bloomfield, CT – The Williams Men's Golf team finished in seventh place over the weekend in their first event of the spring season, the Bill Detrick Invitational, hosted by Trinity College at Tumble Brook Country Club.
Eph sophomore
Owen Nielsen put up the low round of the day, coming in with an impressive 1-over par 73. Nielsen bounced back from a difficult round yesterday, keeping the ball in front of him all day to finish up at 1-over par. Nielsen made three birdies in the first nine holes of his round.
Next for the Ephs was first year
Hunter Justice finishing with a 5-over par 77. Justice had a difficult start but finished his last six holes at 2-under par to round out a solid first weekend of his first spring season in some difficult conditions at Tumble Brook.
First year
Jack Estrella carded a six-over par 78 to follow up his stellar round yesterday, a solid start to his first spring season.
Senior
Ben Sapovits and sophomore
Alex Moller each posted a 7-over par 79 to round out the scoring for the Ephs.
Eph head coach
Josh Hillman spoke on the first weekend for the Ephs: "All in all this was a productive weekend. We made a lot of birdies but gave away a lot of easy shots. We need to clean up our putting. Every player could have saved 2-3 shots on the greens alone. That being said, I'm encouraged going to Skidmore with a tournament under our belt."
The Ephs are back in action next weekend at the Tim Brown Invitational hosted by Skidmore College at Ballston Spa CC.
