HOWARD "BUD" ELWELL INVITATIONAL — FULL RESULTS
ERIE, Pa. - The Daemen College men's golf team took part in the Howard "Bud" Elwell Invitational this past weekend. The two-day tournament was hosted by Gannon University and took place at the par-72 Whispering Woods Golf Club. Daemen, which has participated in this event each of the last four years, placed ninth out of the nine schools entered.
Mercyhurst University claimed the team championship with a score of 596 (+20). Gannon placed second with a 607 (+31), just ahead of Indiana University of Pennsylvania (612) and Humber College (619). Freshman Adrian Larsen of Mercyhurst shot an even par 72 on both days and claimed individual medalist honors with a two-day score of 144 (E).
Daemen was paced by senior senior Ryan Gibbons (Amherst, N.Y.) who shot a team-best 78 during the second round today and finished tied for 27th with a 159 (81-78). The 78 he carded today ranks as the 17th time over his four-year career that he has scored in the 70's. He birdied the third, 10th and 12th holes today and finished with five birdies and 16 pars for the tournament. Fellow senior Tyler Hockenberger (Greece, N.Y.) tied Gibbons for the team low score during the opening round on Sunday with an 81. He followed up with an 84 today and finished tied for 39th with a 165.
