SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Fighting through the blistering cold and tough wind conditions, the Williams men's golf team completed their first round on Sunday at the Palamountain Invitational at McGregor Links Golf Club, hosted by Skidmore College.
The Ephs finished the day in 6th place out of 14 teams with a 335 team total. Currently ahead of the Ephs are Skidmore Green (311 total), Hamilton (321 total), Middlebury (327 total), Farmingdale State (328), and Skidmore Gold (332).
Leading the Ephs was sophomore Bob Camp, who had a strong showing today with a 78, and is currently in a tie for 4th place individually. Battling the elements, the rest of the Ephs struggled to find their games as sophomore Drew Murray had an 84, senior Galen Jackson shot an 86, sophomore Jake Wagner an 87 and freshman Siwol Chang an 89. Chris Valle, a freshman, also played individually and finished the day with a 93.
"Today was not really how we wanted to begin the northern portion of our season, but today was the first day any of our players were able to play or practice since returning from Florida," said coach Rick Pohle. "It is hard to believe how far behind the other areas we are in the Berkshires — almost everyone else has been on their courses or ranges for 2 or more weeks. We are hoping with the opening of Taconic GC on Wednesday that our games will begin to take shape. Bob Camp had a great day in the cold and blustery conditions — I am pleased that he is trying to regain the form he portrayed last year. Tomorrow we will look to improve on today's effort and start to develop more consistency and fewer large numbers on holes."
The final round will begin as a shotgun Monday at 10 at the McGregor Links Golf Club.
