NEWINGTON, Conn. (September 11, 2016) – The Stevens Institute of Technology men's golf team shot a 324 Sunday at day two of the Bill Detrick Invitational, giving the Ducks a two-round total of 640.
The 11-team tournament took place at the par-72 Indian Hill Country Club in Newington, Conn. The 640 placed the Ducks seventh overall in the talent-laden field.
Senior
Frank Szucs once again led the Ducks Sunday with a 73 in a round that included 13 pars and a pair of birdies. Szucs tallied pars in eight of the nine holes on the front for a 37, and shaved one stroke off that on the back thanks to par-five birdies on 14 and 18.
The 148 was good for a tie for fifth overall.
