The men’s golf team traveled to Grasonville, Md. to take part in the Fireline Towson Invitational. The 54-hole tournament was played at Prospect Bay Country Club—a relatively short 6,761-yard, par-72 course.

The field consisted of 17 teams, including several from the Atlantic 10 and Big East. The Lions finished in tenth place, just four strokes off of the next best score.

The top finisher for the Lions was senior Clark Granum, who finished nine over par. Granum had the 12th best individual score among the field of 91 competitors. Sophomore Michael Yiu had the next best score, finishing 18 over par. As a team, the Light Blue drained the fifth highest number of pars (162). Through 16 rounds of golf each, Granum’s and Yiu’s average scores hovered right around three above par. The men will be back on the fairways beginning April 9 as they take part in the two-day Princeton Invitational.

The women did not compete this weekend, but will be competing in the Hoya Invitational at The Members Club at Four Streams in Beallsville, Md. The two-day tournament will begin on April 4.
