HARRISBURG – The Wilkes University golf team had a strong showing in the opening round of the Freedom Conference Championships on Sunday afternoon, posting a team score of 328 (+40) at Blue Ridge Country Club in Harrisburg.

 

Currently, the Colonels sit in third place, just one stroke behind second place King's College and 12 strokes behind leader FDU-Florham.

 

While the final team score will only count the four best totals from each team, five individuals are per team golf. Currently, no Colonel posted above an 87 on day one, which means every player for the squad is still in content to have their scores count.

 

Douglas Taylor (Wyalusing, Pa./) has continued his hot play, posting a 78 on the par 72 layout to finish the first day alone in fourth place. Jamie Montville (Exeter, Pa./Wyoming Area) followed Taylor with an 81 in a tie for ninth position, Sean Madden (Dunmore, Pa./) sits in a tie for 15th with an 84, while Michael Turano (Browndale, Pa./) rounded out the scoring with an 85 in a tie for 20th. While Brian Williams' 87 (tied for 30th) was not counted today, a strong showing tomorrow can vault him into the scoring column for Wilkes.
