SUNY Cortland Sport Clubs

November 6-8, 2009
Las Vegas, NV

The SUNY Cortland golf club sent two members to compete at this year’s 8th Annual National Collegiate Golf Championship at the Silverstone Golf Course in Las Vegas. John Carhart & Chris Poplarski qualified for the event by winning a local qualifying event at Salmon Creek Country Club in Spencerport, NY. In a two-person scramble format, the pair combined to shoot a 10-under 62 to win the event and qualify for the national tournament in Las Vegas.

In Las Vegas, Carhart & Poplarski performed well, finishing the day with a 5-under score of 67, good enough for a tie for fourth place with the University of North Carolina and three shots off first place winner Arizona State. This is the third time SUNY Cortland has had club members qualify for the tournament. Congratulations to John Carhart & Chris Poplarski for an incredible showing on the national stage!

The top scorers for Cortland were: Luke Henson and Mike Villarosa (84) Dave Jacques and John Carhart (85) and Mike English (88). After the scores for both teams were added up the result was a tie! The tie-breaker was the score of each team’s 6th man. Cortland’s 6th man John Savini shot a 91 and Syracuse’s shot a 92 so Cortland ended up winning the match by one shot on a tie breaker!
