Player Scorecards
The Muhlenberg men's golf team got its 2015-16 season off to an extraordinary start, winning the Moravian Fall Invitational.
The Mules tied Moravian with a score of 305 and was awarded the championship on the fifth-man tiebreaker. Sophomore
Evan Overcash provided the winning margin with an 81, two strokes better than his counterpart from Moravian.
Freshman
Ian Simon made a smashing collegiate debut, winning medalist honors with a 2-under-par 70, four strokes ahead of two golfers who tied for second place. Simon
(pictured at left) birdied the first hole he played, the 400-yard, par-4 18th, bogeyed two of the next four holes and did not miss par again, shooting two birdie 2s.
Since 2000, Simon's 70 was the lowest score by a Mule golfer in the first tournament of the year as well as the lowest score by a Mule freshman.
Muhlenberg won the Moravian Fall Invitational to start last year but hadn't swept team and individual honors at a tournament since the 2009 Messiah Falcon Classic.
Freshman
Ellis Focht also finished in the top 10 in his first tournament for the Mules, tying for ninth with a 5-over-par 77. Junior
John Froberg shot two birdies and was one stroke behind, and senior
Jonathan Graulich also birdied two holes in carding an 80.
