Tyler Gerbavsits led the Red Storm at seven-over 217
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (Sept. 29, 2019) – The St. John's men's golf team concluded the final day of the MacDonald Cup at The Course at Yale on Sunday.
Minnesota dominated the field, taking the team title by shooting a 10-under 830 and beating second place Princeton by 24 strokes. Angus Flanagan of Minnesota earned medalist honors with a six-under 204, beating teammate Evan Long by three shots.
Following a solid performance through the first two rounds, sophomore Tyler Gerbavsits rounded out his weekend tied for 13th place with a seven-over 217. The Huntington product tacked on a pair of birdies on the 6th and 16th holes to counteract bogeys on the holes prior.
Checking in just behind Gerbavsits was Alex Kyriacou, who led the Johnnies in round three scoring. The freshman out of Suffern, N.Y., posted a two-over 72 that included a near bogey-free front nine. Kyriacou jumped 14 spots on the leaderboard, tying four other competitors in 13th place.
Sophomore Jack Simon recorded a two-over 38 on the back nine, including birdies on the 11th and 16th holes before closing out his round with a pair of par shots.
Gerald Mackedon and Joseph Busiello hit even-par on the fifth and 13-15th holes, finishing with scores of 226 and 232 to wrap up the MacDonald Cup.
As a team, the Red Storm finished in eighth place, recording a three-round total of 880 (+40).
The Red Storm will turn around quickly and head to Pennsylvania for the Wildcat Fall Invitational at the White Manor Country Club on Sept. 30-Oct. 1.
The Johnnies showed success in Villanova's 2018 fall home event with a pair of top-15 finishers. Mackedon finished last season's invitational with a score of one-over 216 (71-73-72) to stand in a tie for 4th place. Simon turned in a seven-over 220, including a level-par 71, to tie for 15th. St. John's will look to improve upon its fifth-place finish from last year.
