MAC Commonwealth Golfer of the Week
Gavin Ganter (York / Jr. / Swan Point, Md.) had a big week for the Spartans as he earned two top fives in the Spartans' last two tournaments. Ganter kicked off the week with a four place finish in the loaded Hershey Cup. Ganter finished in a tie for fourth in the 87-player field. Ganter finished with a two-day total of 147 as he was three strokes back of individual champion JF Aber from Wittenberg. Ganter shot a three-over par 74 on Sunday and then improved by a stroke with a 73 on Monday. In Ganter's first round he shot a 40 on the front and then played great on the back nine with a one-under 34. Ganter had a birdie and an eagle on his back nine. He shot a 38 on his Monday front nine and then was also on fire with an even-par 35 on his second nine in round two. On Sunday, Ganter led the Spartans to victory at the MAC Preview Tournament. Not only did the Spartans win the team title but Ganter earned the individual medalist honors after five playoff holes against Elizabethtown's Chris Kilduff. Ganter had five straight pars in the playoff to outlast Kilduff to earn the individual title. Ganter finished the round with a score of 72 to lead the Green and White. The win is Ganter's second career championship as he also won the 2023 MAC Commonwealth individual title at the PB Dye Golf Club.
