ROCKVILLE, Md. - Rutgers men's golf tied for sixth with a 902 (304-290-308) total at the 12-team Maryland Terrapin Invitational, played Monday and Tuesday at the Woodmont Country Club.
Round two picked up Tuesday morning after play was suspended Monday due to heavy fog. Golfers resumed their rounds under better conditions and continued into their third and final round. The Scarlet Knights carded the second-best team total in round two, a 290 that boosted them from a tie for ninth to a tie for fourth.
Junior Jonathan Chang led that effort with a two-under-par 70 as he paced the team from start to finish. His four-over 220 (75-70-75) secured a top-10 finish, a tie for ninth only six strokes behind co-medalists Kyle Hart of George Mason and Jonathan Dilanni of Elon. Chang was three-under on par fives, the second-best scoring average posted by any competitor.
Not far behind Chang were freshman Toks Pedro and senior Jacob Stockl. Pedro improved on his first-round 75 with rounds of 72 and 78 to tie for 24th with a 225. Stockl fired a 230 (75-78-77) to finish tied for 40th.
Rounding out the Rutgers scorecard was sophomore Ryan Rose and freshman Jack Panagos. Rose finished with a 234 (76-72-86) to tie for 50th in the 75-player field, while Panagos shot a 240 (83-76-81) to place 69th.
Sophomore Michael Howe and freshman Matt Holuta also played the event as individuals. Howe finished tied for 42nd with a 231 (78-80-73), and Holuta was just one stroke behind with a 232 (77-76-79) to tie for 46th.
The Scarlet Knights tied with the Naval Academy, while host Maryland won the 12-team event with an 868.
Under the leadership of head coach Rob Shutte, the Scarlet Knights will conclude their fall season at the Lehigh Invitational in Bethlehem, Pa., October 18 and 19.
