Men’s Golf Competes in Opening Round of Jekyll Island Collegiate

(JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga.) – The Carnegie Mellon University men's golf team competed in the first round of the 18th Annual Jekyll Collegiate Invitational played on Friday, March 17. A frost delay pushed tee times back two hours which did not allow for the completion of the round on Friday. The field is comprised of 29 teams which has 15 of the nation's top 25 teams in Division III including three of the top five. The three-day, 54-hole event is being held on the 6,700-yard, par-72 Pine Lakes Course on Jekyll Island.
    
Two Tartans were able to finish the first round play, as sophomore Patrick Tan (Vancouver, British Columbia/Prince of Wales Secondary) carded a 78 and senior Brad Jennette (Pittsford, N.Y./ Pittsford Sutherland) ended with an 81.
