ABBOTTSTOWN, Pa. – Steven Tanen (Laurel Hallow, N.Y./Cold Spring Harbor) posted a two-round score of 154 to lead McDaniel to a third-place finish at its own spring invitational in men's golf action on Saturday and Sunday.
The Green Terror combined to post a score of 636. In temperatures barely above freezing for the majority of Saturday's round, McDaniel posted a score of 325 to sit tied for fifth. Because of the forecast for below-freezing temperatures at the original start time for Sunday, the decision was made to go to a shotgun start. The Green Terror improved to fire a round of 311 in temperatures nearly 10 degrees warmer but a round that took nearly an hour longer to complete.
St. John Fisher won the invitational with a score of 623 (315-308) while Franklin & Marshall posted the best round of the tournament with a score of 303 on Sunday to finish second with a total score of 624.
Tanen was the only Green Terror player to post a round in the 70s both days. He posted a round of 78 on Saturday before carding a round of 76 on Sunday.
Mason Woolford (Pasadena, Md.) posted McDaniel's best round of the weekend with a round of 75 on Sunday to finish tied for eighth in the field. He shot an 82 on Saturday to give him a 36-hole total of 157.
Brandon Vance (Worcester, Pa./Methacton) finished 25th overall with a score of 161, posting a round of 80 in the first round before carding a round of 81 on Sunday.
Cody Mewhirter (Hampstead, Md./North Carroll) finished 37th with a score of 164. He finished Saturday's round with a score of 85 before posting a round of 79 on Sunday.
