ITHACA, N.Y. – The St. Bonaventure golf team finished the Cornell Invitational in fourth place with a team score of 893 after junior Brian McKenna shot a team best, 2-under 70 in the final round of the event on Sunday.
McKenna used that score to vault himself into a tie for fifth place overall with a total score of 217 for the weekend. McKenna finished just one stroke shy of a tie for second.
Junior Greg Horvath was consistent throughout the weekend firing rounds of 73, 74 and 73 to finish at 220 (+4) and in a tie for 12th. Senior Kevin Lewis shot an opening round of 69, but closed with rounds of 78 and 77 (224, +8) to finish in a tie for 22nd.
