LITITZ, Pa. --- The Moravian University men's golf squad placed fourth of 15 teams at the Franklin & Marshall College Invitational Monday played Bent Creek Country Club.

How It Happened

  • The Greyhounds' squad had a team score of 297 to finish in fourth place, just one stroke behind third place
  • Gettysburg College totaled a low team score of 286 to claim first place, while a pair of Franklin & Marshall teams finished second and third
  • This is the second time this fall that the Greyhounds have posted a sub-300 team score

Moravian Results

  • Graduate student Thomas Lakata led the field of 75 golfers, turning in a two-under 69 on the par 71 course, which earned himself medalist honors on a tiebreaker on the fourth playoff hole. Lakata carded the first 69 since Tyler Smith '17, who also posted that score at the F&M Invitational in 2016. Lakata recorded four birdies and two bogeys in his best round during his tenure with the Blue and Grey
  • Freshman TJ Bohl shot a 73 to finish two over par. Bohl turned in a career-best card with five birdies and seven pars to finish tied for 11th
  • Finishing tied for 21st was junior Andrew Hozza after shooting a 76 with three birdies and nine pars
  • Graduate student Nick Kuhn rounded out the scorers for the Blue & Grey after finishing with a 79. Kuhn finished tied for 33rd after recording 11 pars and one birdie
  • Freshman Jason Koch carded an 83 to be tied for 55th after making eight pars

Quotable

  • "I am very proud of how the guys played today," commented Head Golf Coach Kevin Edwards. "It was a very strong field and was a tough weather day with the wind. To shoot another sub-300 round shows how balanced we are this year."
