Fordham Golf had another positive performance this fall beginning on Oct. 15 at the SHU (Sacred Heart University) Invitational in Connecticut. The team finished in fourth place out of 10 teams at the three-day event, with three Rams finishing in the top 17 of the 54-player field.

Fordham found themselves in sixth place as a team after day one of the competition, but solid play on days two and three ensured that they finished higher up the table. The team came in one spot above Sacred Heart’s B team in seventh and one spot below Fairfield University in fourth.

This was Fordham’s best team showing since the Hartford Hawks Invite in September when they finished in second place. That competition only had five teams, so this was Fordham’s best showing of the season at a large-scale event.

Winning the individual title was the University of Rhode Island’s Bryson Richards, who finished at -3 one stroke ahead of Sacred Heart’s Marcus Lim. Sacred Heart claimed the team title though. Their tally of 865 points was enough to beat Rhode Island in second place.

Junior Chris Konefal was Fordham’s top performer, finishing in 11th place at +9. He matched a career-low round in the second by posting a 70. Behind him was freshman Felix Luetke-Meyring who came in at +12 for a tie of 15th place.

Junior Jake Mrva finished one stroke behind Luetke-Meyring at +13 in a tie for 17th place. Earlier this season, Mrva became the first Ram to claim an individual title since 2017 when he won the Hartford Hawks Invite.

Behind Mrva were freshmean Tucker Silva in 38th place at +27 and AJ DePaolo in 47th place at +36.

Fordham’s fall season will wrap up at the end of the month at the Veterans Intercollegiate Tournament on Long Island beginning on Oct. 30.
