The Penn men’s golf team was unable to defend its team title at the Ivy League Championships inApril, finishing third. However, junior Michael Blodgett certainly did his part—and when the weekendwas over, he was holding a trophy as the tournament’s individual champion.MichaelBlodgett is Penn’s first medalist in the 34 years that the Ivy League has sponsored the event, andBlodgett capped a successful year for Blodgett in which he was the Quakers’ top finisher in six out of eighttournaments. Blodgett was tied for first place with Larry Haertel of Brown after the first day of play,but pulled away in the third round with a 76 to Haertel’s 79, finishing five over par overall (218) and securing tophonors.Of particular note, Blodgett’s second-round 67 on Saturday tied the Galloway (N.J.) National course record thatwas set earlier in the day by Haertel; prior to that, the course record was held by three-time U.S. Open championHale Irwin.“This win was the culmination of a really good spring season and I peaked at the right time,” said Blodgett. “To bethe first Penn player to win the individual championship is a tremendous honor. To be considered with those thatcame before me is very special, and although this is an individual award I feel that it is truly a team effort. My teammateswere fantastic this weekend, and all of the credit goes to my coaches and teammates for preparing me.”Prior to the Ivy League’s official sponsoring of men’s golf in 1975, the top Ivy finisher at the Eastern IntercollegiateTournament was named the Ivy champ. Don Norbury was a two-time winner (1959, 60) while Vince Scarpettawas the top Ivy finisher in 1973.Jacques Beauvais• Second-team All-CSFLSam Biddle• Second-team All-CSFLChristian Corrigan• Second-team All-CSFLMichael D’Angelo• Second-team All-CSFLColin Dampier• CSFL Offensive Player of the Week (11/5)Drew Dampier• Honorable mention All-CSFLThomas Davis• Second-team All-CSFLMark Dziemianowicz• First-team All-CSFLJ.
