Men’s Golf Finishes Second at DIII Northeast Elite, Three Place in Top-10

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - The Swarthmore College men's golf team finished second overall out of 11 teams at the DIII Northeast Elite Invitational on Sunday. The Garnet leaped Penn College on the second day of action, but finished nine strokes off the champion Franklin & Marshall College. 

Swarthmore finished with three players in the individual top-10 with all five of its competitors placing inside the top-20. Dylan Zhang led the squad with a fifth place finish, while Neil Zhu tied for sixth and Max Ash finished 10th overall.



HOW IT HAPPENED
- Zhang earned a fifth place finish with a two-round score of 150 (+8). The sophomore took two strokes off his opening round score with a 74 (+3) to close out play. Zhang carded two birdies on the front nine before matching par the entire back half. 

- Neil Zhu tied for sixth overall with a two-round score of 152 (+10). After leading the Garnet through the opening round, Zhu carded an 80 (+9) on the second day. The sophomore struggled on the front nine after shooting even through the first nine holes in the opening round. Zhu bounced back on the back nine with a one-over-par finish to counter his early struggles. 

- Max Ash earned his second top-10 finish of the season as he placed 10th overall. The first-year carded a 77 (+6) in both rounds to finish with a two-round score of 154. Ash recorded a pair of birdies on the day to finish with four for the tournament. 

- Benjamin Garcia Moreira tied for 15th overall to round out the team's scorers. The first-year shot an 80 (+9) for the round with one birdie on the sixth hole. He finished with three birdies for the tournament.
