Herzig Leads Golf at Testudo Cup
IJAMSVILLE, Md. – Colgate Golf's third straight weekend in Maryland saw Robbie Herzig tie for 24th with a 5-over-par 221 three-day score to lead six golfers representing the Raiders throughout the weekend in the Testudo Cup at the Club at P.B. Dye.
Herzig's 1-under 71 in the second round tied the best single-round score of the tournament for the Raiders, who finished 13th of 14 teams at 35-over (899). The senior finished tied for 24th among 78 golfers competing in the weekend tournament hosted by Maryland.
COACH KIRCHER'S COMMENTS
"P.B. Dye was a really good test. We learned that we need to make a better game plan and commit to our strategy. We had some good stretches, and it was nice to see Leo Li and Robbie Herzig shoot under-par rounds on the weekend. Justin Fedele is playing solid golf and is very close to getting some more scores under par. We have a few days before going to Columbus and just need to clean up a few mistakes we didn't make in Ocean City."
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Herzig carded a 4-over 76 in the final round on Sunday, which was one stroke off Fedele and Hill for Colgate's best final card. Li finished 8-over (224) to tie for 35th place, while Fedele and Hill closed the day in 42nd and 57th place, respectively.
- Jayden Freedman shot a consistent 78-78-79 to finish 19-over par in 68th place, while Chad Ruggiero competing as an individual finished in 77th place at 37-over.
- Colgate turned in a three-day aggregate score of 899 (+35) to finish in 13th place, four strokes behind Binghamton and Towson. Maryland took the team title at 11-under.
