Four Cavaliers in the Top 15 at Golden Horseshoe Intercollegiate

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Four Cavaliers were entered as individuals at the Golden Horseshoe Intercollegiate and all four placed in the top 15 as play concluded on Tuesday (March 25). Freshman Maxi Puregger shot a 1-over 72 in the final round and came in seventh place overall.

Puregger was even par for the 54-hole tournament (70-71-72-213) and earned his first top 10 finish of his young collegiate career. One stroke behind him in a tie for eighth was Sam O’Hara who carded a final round of 69, a career-low for the sophomore. His final round on Tuesday featured six birdies, five of which came in his first 10 holes.

Matthew Monastero was 2-over for the tournament and posted his second eagle in as many rounds with a three on the 498-yard, par 5 second hole on Tuesday. Benny Haggin carded a 74 in his final round and was 4-over, good enough for 15th in a field of 86 golfers.
