Tough conditions in second round drop CMS to third in SCIAC #1 Tourney

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. – High scores in the second round led in part to the No. 7 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's golf team finishing in third place at the two-round SCIAC #1 Tournament, Feb. 21-22 held at Robinson Ranch Golf Course. During the final round Sunday, the field faced windy and rainy conditions which played a role in the higher-than-average scores throughout the field.

Competing in its second official event of the spring, CMS finished in third place on the par-72 course with a combined team score of 623, just two shots behind second place finisher California Lutheran (621) and one shot ahead of La Verne (624). Redlands led the whole weekend, posting a score of 599 in the two rounds. Chapman (655) finished in fifth, Occidental (658) in sixth, Pomona-Pitzer (660) in seventh and Whittier (682) in eighth to round out the field. CMS had a first round team of score of 305 and followed that up with a 318 in the second round.

Individually, junior Kethan Reddy (CMC) and freshman Jonathan Shaw (CMC) paced CMS as the duo finished in sixth and seventh, respectively. Reddy's 1-over par score of 73 in the first round was the third lowest score of the weekend (one had 71, one had 72 and several scored a 73). He followed up with an 80 for a combined score of 153 at 9-over par, while Shaw had rounds of 76 and 78 for a 154. Barrett McGinnis of Cal Lu and Kelby Scharmann of La Verne tied for first place with a 2-over 146 for the tournament.

The other scoring golfers for CMS were freshman Matt Shuman (CMC) and senior Ben Ho (CMC) who tied for 14th with a 160. Freshman Tim de Silva (CMC) and junior Ahmed El Tamami (CMC) scored a 166 and 175 to finish in a tie for 27th and 42nd, respectively for the Stags.
