Final Results
Annapolis, MD – Senior
Jon Keyes (Bayport, NY / Bayport-Blue Point) earned a sixth place result thanks to a 10-over par card in two rounds, leading Manhattan in the Navy Spring Invitational over the weekend.
As a team, the Jaspers ended the two-round tournament tied for seventh. Manhattan totaled a score of 625 (+57), which was just three strokes behind Midshipmen for a top-five spot.
The Jaspers utilized ideal weather conditions on Saturday, finishing in second after the opening round and sitting seven strokes off the lead. Keyes, along with classmates
Connor O'Rourke (Jupiter, FL / FAU) and
Charles Seward (Tampa, FL / Freedom) sat at 2-over par (73) in Round One, the lowest round total of any Manhattan golfer over the weekend.
Sunday was a much different story, weather-wise. Temperatures were almost 20 degrees cooler and were accompanied by a steady rain at the Naval Academy Golf Club all day. Of the 13 teams that participated, only the Midshipmen improved in Day Two from its Day One totals.
Keyes shot eight-over par in the second round to bring his total score to 152. He shared that tally with three other golfers.
George Washington stayed consistent enough over the weekend to win the team title at 35-over par, becoming the 22nd school to win the 38 year-old tournament. Day One leader Towson settled for second place at 45-over par. The Colonials' Jack Porcelli carded a 147 (+5) to take home the individual title.
The Jaspers will conclude the 2017-2018 campaign with the MAAC Championships at the Disney Magnolia Golf Course in Lake Buena Vista, FL. Round One takes place on Friday, April 20.
