“I feel very confident about this season,” said junior Ben Choe. “Our roster is one of the deepest we’ve ever had. Everyone is capable of going low, which is huge to have over the course of a long season. Also, we took a very strong freshman class, who are already showing great signs of potential.”
The Red finished tied for seventh out of nine this past Monday and Tuesday in the Hampton Intercollegiate, held at Maidstone Golf Club in East Hampton, New York, scoring a combined total of 943, or 79-over par and good for a tie with Ivy League foe Penn.
Cornell will conclude its fall season in two weekends at the Hampton Intercollegiate.
Senior Jack Casler and junior Charlie Dubiel led Cornell by tying for seventh place individually. Both Casler and Dubiel finished the weekend at two-over par. Their paths to this score, however, were very different.
“We are going to put a lot of emphasis on playing smart and playing to the right spot. Boring golf is usually good golf.”
“We are a lot stronger from top to bottom as compared to last year, and I think that is going to help us be a very competitive team.”
Next season, the Red will return much of the same core as this season with the exception of Cen. The team expects to compete for an Ivy League title — a feat which has never been accomplished in school history.
Cornell’s final tally over the weekend left them at 65 over par, 22 strokes behind 12th-place Georgetown.
Milstein was named trustee and he pledged $1 million to PGA Reach in honor of Jack Nicklaus.
