Ian Landry Finishes Second as Golf Finishes Fourth at 2012 FPU Division II Fall Invitational
Lowest two-round score of Landry's collegiate career
KEENE, N.H. (September 10, 2012) -- The Franklin Pierce University golf team fired a 24-over-par, 312, during the final round Monday of the 2012 FPU Division II Fall Invitational at the Bretwood Country Club North Course in Keene, N.H. The Ravens moved up a spot from day one to finish in fourth place with a score of 615 (+39).
American International won the tournament with a two-round score of 601 (+25), while Bentley finished as the runner up with a total of 606 (+30).
The main highlight of the afternoon, and the tournament, was the continued outstanding play of senior co-captain Ian Landry (Loudon, N.H.), who fired a second round 74 (+2). The solid score came just one day after he carded a three-under-par, 69, in the first round.
Landry's two-round total of 143 (-1) allowed him to finish second in the tournament, only trailing AIC's Ramon Ventura, who took home medalist honors with a 36-hole score of 142 (-2). Ventura locked up the title on Monday as he shot a four-under 68. Landry's two-round, one-under score marked the lowest 36-hole total in his collegiate career.
Another Raven turned in a top-10 finish with a stellar final round, as sophomore Stew Wise (Angier, N.C.) carded a 73 (+1) on Monday to finish in a tie for seventh place with a two-day score of 149 (+5).
Freshman Sean Shepard (Griswold, Conn.) tied for 28th with a two-round score of 160 (+16), including shooting a second round 82 (+10). Senior co-captain Ricky Gray (Jaffrey, N.H.) finished four spots back of Shephard as he tied for 32nd with a total of 163 (+19). Gray shot an 11-over-par, 83, on Monday. Junior Adam Spencer (Jericho, Vt.) finished 41st with a score of 172 (+28).
