GOODYEAR, Ariz. (EMUEagles.com) – The Valley of the Sun has treated the Eastern Michigan University men's golf team well over the years, and Tuesday's final round at the Loyola Intercollegiate did not stray from that tradition. Head Coach Bruce Cunningham's crew notched a 282, the second-lowest 18-hole score of the season, on the final day of competition on the par 72, 7,015-yard Palm Valley Golf Club.
Eastern finished the three-day event with a tally of 879 (299-298-282) in 18th place. Utah Valley won the team race at 21-under 843, a shot in front of Marquette. Drake's Lucas Scherf (72-63-69=204) followed up his career-low round of 63 in the second round with a 69 in the final round to become the individual champion at 12-under .
Junior Patrick Deardorff (Clarkston, Mich.-Clarkston) notched both the lowest 18 (66) and 54 (215) hole scores of his career as he finished in a tie for 24th-place. The Clarkston, Mich., native's six-under final round was the lowest single-round tally by an EMU student-athlete since 2020 when Zach Sudinsky also notched a 66 in the second round of the Loyola Intercollegiate, Feb. 23.
How It Happened
Behind Deardorff, senior Cam Kellett (London, Ontario-Saint Thomas Aquinas-Nevada) finished at even-par 216 with rounds of 72, 71, and 73. Freshmen Logan Graf (Sylvan Lake, Alberta-HJ Cody), Victor Caliguri (Cincinnati, Ohio-Elder), and Sam Yono II (West Bloomfield, Mich.-Brother Rice) posted scores of 222, 227, and 236, respectively.
Playing as an individual, freshman Nathaniel Gray Lamont (Guelph, Ontario-Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute) tied for 76th with a 223 (77-68-78) in his second career collegiate stroke-play tournament.
