Nick Palladino fired a one-over par 73 to lead Rochester on the
first day of the McDaniel College Spring Invitational at The
Bridges Golf Course, a score that would earn him medalist honors
after day two of the tournament was cancelled due to an unplayable
course.
He registered 13 pars, two birdies, and three bogeys on the 6,713
yard, par 72 course.
Matt van Niekerk shot a four-over 76 and was Rochester's second low
scorer and ended in a tie for 4th place. He had one birdie and five
bogeys. Will Mallia was T-9th and stood at six-over with a 78. He
had three birdies, but eight bogeys. Jona Scott had an eight-over
80 with no birdies and was T-16th. G.W. VanderZwaag had one birdie
in his 18 holes and finished with an 84 (12 over).
Rochester totaled 307 strokes for its four low scorers (Palladino,
van Niekerk, Mallia, Scott) and finished in 2nd place overall. St.
John Fisher fired a 305 to capture the team title in the one-day
event.
