ORANGE CITY, Fla. - The Purdue Fort Wayne men's golf team brought home its first trophies of the 2023-24 season on Saturday (March 9). Burke Pitz won the individual medalist honor and the Mastodons won the team title at the Sacred Heart Invitational.
The Mastodons shot 290-287-577 as a team, beating the closest team by 12 shots. This is the second year in a row the Mastodons have won the Sacred Heart Invitational.
Pitz earned the first win of his career by shooting 69-72-141, topping all competitors by at least two shots. His even round of 72 was highlighted by a stretch of three birdies in a row on 12, 13 and 14. He also birdied hole two.
Hunter Mefford tied for second place at the event, shooting 71-72-143. He was also even on Saturday, finding birdies on two, 11 and 17, and an eagle on the 515-yard 15th. SHU's event was Mefford's fourth top-five finish in his career.
Two shots back of Mefford, Kasey Lilly tied for sixth with a 75-70-145. In round two, Lilly also eagled hole 12 and added birdies on two and 17. He had just one double-bogey on hole three, turning in 14 pars.
Nick Holder was just one shot off the top-10 with his 75-73-148. He had back-to-back birdies on hole two and three, then two more on the back nine on 12 and 15.
AJ Agnew rounded out the lineup, shooting 77-79-156. He had five pars in a row on the front nine and back-to-back birdies on 11 and 12.
The team of five finished with a total score of 7-under on the 12th hole.
Brock Reschly and Nick Bellush competed as individuals, shooting 151 and 157, respectively.
The Mastodons will look to score more trophies in just under a month at the Don Benbow Butler Spring Invitational on April 1-2.
