The men’s golf team headed to Bangor Municipal Golf Course last weekend for the two-day Maine Intercollegiate Golf Championship. The Polar Bears placed eighth out of the 10 schools taking part, with Husson University from Bangor taking first place.
Thomas Spagnola ’17 led the Polar Bears, shooting one-under 70 on Saturday—birdieing three of his final five holes—and five-over 76 on Sunday, finishing four-over for the tournament. On Sunday, he was unable to capitalize on the par fives, finishing plus-three—with a double bogey on the par five fourth hole—as compared to three-under on Saturday. His score was still sufficient enough for a third-place finish, only one shot off second place.
Dusty Biron ’15 posted a two day total score of 18-over 160, good enough for No. 23 overall in the tournament and Martin Bernard ’17 finished at 29-over, placing No. 40 overall.
Bowdoin combined for a final team score of 649—81 over par—putting them at eighth overall in the tournament, only 52 shots behind tournament champion Husson.
The Polar Bears will return to action this weekend when they travel to the Taconic Golf Club in Williamstown, Mass. to compete in the Williams Invitational.
