Due to inclement weather, round two wasn't completed and will resume tomorrow at 7:20 a.m. The third and final round will be played directly after.

Orlando, Fla. - After disqualification as a team, the Zips three remaining men's golf team players finished the MAC/Big East Challenge competing as individuals. Yesterday, after scorecard violoations by freshman Drew Davidson and junior Vaughn Snyder, the Zips were elminated from play as a team, however, seniors Colin Clemente and Ryan Gutowski and sophomore Jacob Patte finished the 36-hole tournament today as individuals."Although the scorecard issues from round one disqualified us from the team competition, I was pleased that Colin and Ryan recorded good individual finishes," said first year head coach, Nick Goetze. "We needed to keep our chins up in spite of our disappointment and all of the guys did a great job in that regard. We've been talking about the importance of fundamentals throughout the fall and it is my hope that learning this lesson the hard way will heighten our focus in the off season as we train for spring. We still have a shot at the MAC title and advancing to NCAA Regional play is within our grasp.Clemente, known for his consistent play, shot a three round total of 219 (69-75-75) on the par-72, 6,993-yard Orange County National Golf Course. Overall, he ended tied for seventh out of 53 golfers. Following closely behind was Gutowski who ended solo in ninth place shooting a three round total of 220 (70-78-72).Patte ended the tournament shooting a 79-83-72 (234).This was the Zips last tournament of the fall. They will resume play this spring.

i wonder what the "score card violations were."

Scorecard violations in golf are pretty strict. Even innocent errors are binding once you sign the damned thing.I played in high school and it wasn't that uncommon for a player to mix up scores on a couple holes. For example, let's say you got a 5 on Hole 1 and 4 on Hole 2. If your competitor transposes those scores -- which would have no effect on your final tally -- and you don't catch it, you're screwedThe bottom line is, you're responsible for your own card. At this level, it sure is weird to see two players from the same team get DQed in the same tournament.
