Final Results
GRASONVILLE, Md. - The St. John's men's golf team jumped four spots on Sunday to place sixth at the Towson Spring Invitational carding a final round 307.
The Johnnies turned a total 621 over two rounds to sit ahead of 11 other competing programs at the Prospect Bay Country Club.
"We had a nice round today," head coach Mal Galletta said. "Particularly, our second nine, we really fought hard all the way and it helped us jump four places in the standings. We have some nice momentum headed to the tournament at Villanova."
St. John's saw Gerald Mackedon and Andrew Baek both finish inside the top-25. Mackedon had a stellar round two performance, highlighted by back-to-back birdie putts on the front nine. Six holes later the sophomore drained his third birdie of round two on the par-4 11th hole, to card a final round two-over 74, jumping 25 spots to finish in a tie for 18th place.
Baek tied for 24th after shooting a final round 78. Austin Briggs, Matthew Sweeney, and Ross Moore rounded out scoring for the Red Storm turning a final round 77, 78, and 82.
St. Bonaventure jumped one spot to capture the team title with a two-round score of 603, while Sacred Heart's Matt Shubley secured individual medalist honors after recording a three-over 147.
St. John's has a quick turnaround as the team returns to action tomorrow when the Johnnies travel to Malvern, Pa. for the Wildcat Invitational, tee time is scheduled for noon.
