FURMAN INTERCOLLEGIATE RESULTS
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Led by freshman Caleb Manuel, the UConn men's golf team improved in every round of the Furman Intercollegiate Tournament, which finished Sunday at the Furman University Golf Course.
Manuel (Topsham, Me.) fired sub-par rounds in each of the last two rounds as the Huskies went from an aggregate 22-over in Round 1 to 10-over in Round 2, to 6-over in Round 3. UConn's 306-294-290=890 put the Huskies in 11th place in the 17-team field. Host school Furman won the event with a total of 853.
Manuel struggled a bit to a 6-over 77 in Round 1, but followed up with a 2-under 69 and a 1-under 70 to finish with a 3-over, 77-69-70=216, his fifth and sixth rounds of par or better out of nine tournament rounds played this season. The total placed Manuel in a tie for 14th place in the 102-player field.
Also for the Huskies, junior Jared Nelson (Rutland, Vt.) and freshman Jimmy Paradise (Tampa, Fla.) were part of a tie for 57th place as Nelson had an 11-over, 76-75-73=224, and Paradise shot an 11-over, 79-72-73=224.
Freshman Tommy Dallahan (Simsbury, Conn.), shot a 13-over, 74-78-74=226 to finish in a tie for 66th place and he tied for third with 39 pars in the tournament, while senior Rodrigo Sanchez (Santo Domingo, D.R.) had a 21-over, 80-80-74=234.
UConn will continue its 2021 spring schedule this week, as the Huskies host their home Connecticut Cup tournament at Ellington Ridge Country Club on April 1-3, in Ellington, Conn. The three-round, stroke-play tourney will include 10 other teams besides UConn – Boston College, Canisius, Drexel, Fordham, Hartford, Iona, Rider, Siena, St. John's and Temple.
