Lebanon, PA.
(nazathletics.com) – Nazareth's men's golf team teed off for the fourth and final round of the Empire 8 Conference Championships on Monday at Lebanon Country Club. They entered the final 18 holes in 3rd place overall, and they managed to hold onto that spot from start to finish. The Golden Flyers turned in a round-4 score of +35, the third lowest in the field on Monday. Their combined score through 72 total holes was +127. Nazareth managed to hold off Utica (+136), SUNY Oswego (+140) and SUNY Canton (+140), who were all making runs for the podium in the late stages of the tournament. However, the Golden Flyers fell just short of passing second-place Russell Sage (+124) who ended the conference championship tournament just 3 strokes better.
