Greyhound golf 6th in New England Invitational; Rob Younker all-New England

October 23, 2007


73rd Annual New England Intercollegiate Golf Association Championship

Port Captains G.C., Brewster, MA (par 72, 6,600 yards)

Starboard C.C., Brewster, MA (par 72, 6,700 yards)



BREWSTER, Mass. --- Junior captain ROB YOUNKER (Waltham, MA/Waltham) fired a 73-76--149 to finish as the Division II and Northeast-10 Conference co-medalist while leading Assumption College to a sixth-place finish in the 73rd annual New England Intercollegiate Golf Association championship here MONDAY and TUESDAY at the Port Captain's G.C. and Starboard G.C.

Younker earned all-New England honors for his effort and tied American International College's GARRETT BEYNOR (71-78--149) for fourth-place overall and first among Division II and Northeast-10 competitors. A.I.C. is coached by former Greyhound baseball pitcher/standout Gary Ensor '78.

The Greyhounds' 312-310--622 total was second only to Northeast-10 Conference rival Bryant University (313-301--614) among Division II institutions. The Greyhounds also outdistanced all Central Massachusetts opponents: Nichols (307-317--624), Holy Cross (311-320--631) and Worcester State (317-317--634).

The sixth-place finish is the second-best performance in Greyhound's golf history as the 1986 team ended fourth in the spring invitational led by now six-time Massachusetts Amateur Golfer-of-the-Year Frank Vana '86, who carded a 76-73--149 at New Seabury, MA C.C. This year's entry however did establish the team medal low by two strokes over the 1986 entry.

Younker's 73 in the first round was the Greyhound's top performance since 1989, when Hall of Famer Patrick Dunn '89 carded a 72 in the spring event. Dunn's 71 in the 1987 fall tournament is the Greyhound's standard.

Younker's 149 total ties the Greyhound's mark held by Vana (76-73--149) in 1986 spring and Dunn (78-71--149) in the 1987 fall tournament.

Also for the Greyhounds junior/captain TYLER JOHNSON (Holden, MA/Wachusett)--who earned all-New England honors in 2006--carded a 76-79--155 (28th place) and junior/captain JAMIE FARREA (Portsmouth, RI/Portsmouth) carded a 80-77--157 (51st place). Two freshmen were playing in their first NEIGA event: STEVE WOLAK (North Grosvenordale, CT/Tourtellotte) (83-78--161) (78th) and RICH BYLUND (Auburn, MA/Auburn) (83-84--167) (128th).
