Bloomfield, Conn. - The Boston College men's golf team won the CCSU Blue Devils Fall Invitational with a combined score of 562, while the BC Men's B team placed fifth with a combined score of 590 in the two day event at Wintonbury Hills Golf Course in Connecticut on Sunday and Monday.
Hostra placed second (585), while Iona and Sacred Heart tied for third with 589 points.
The real story was the individual competition as BC's Nick Pandelena and Connor Greenleaf finished the two day tournament shooting 138. On the first Day Greenleaf posted a 68, while Pandelena shot a 70. The scores were reversed on Monday so the two played in a playoff.
Pandelena would eventually win the tournament as he birdied the second hole of the playoff, a par 4, for the win.
Pandelena finished the two days with nine birdies and 21 pars. In the final day of competition, he birdied three holes in the front nine for a -2. In the back nine, though he had just one birdie, Pandelena had seven pars and made one mistake in the par three on 17.
Greenleaf was strong on the first day as he had six birdies on the day, including four consecutive in the front nine. On day two, Greenleaf had 14 pars but just two birdies.
Patrick Hallisey had a strong tournament as he shot a 71 on the first day and a 70 on the second day to place fifth overall. He finished the two-days with five birdies and 25 pars.
John Jackopsic finished tied for eighth as he shot a 74 on Sunday and bounced back with a 71 on Monday.
Max Christina placed tied for 11th by shooting a 70 on Sunday and a 73 on Monday. He shot par (35) on the front nine Monday. After opening the round with a bogey on a par four, 377 yards, he eagled the second hole, par four, 365 yards. In the back he was three over (38).
Other notables on the day were Brian Butler, who tied with teammate Patrick Albanese in 19th (138). Butler's highlight of the tournament came on Monday as he had a hole-in-one on the 12th hole. Butler used a nine iron on the 151 yard shot.
