MAC Commonwealth Golfer of the Week
Gavin Ganter (York / Sr. / Swan Point, Md.) had a fantastic tournament at the D3 Northeast Elite Invitational at the Williamsport Country Club in Williamsport, PA over the weekend. Ganter led a furious Spartan charge on Sunday as the Spartans entered the second round in 17th place in the 20 team field. The Spartans put together a record day as they rocketed the whole way up to fourth place after shooting a team score of 278, a school record by four strokes. Ganter finished second overall with a two-day total of 137. Ganter shot 73 in the opening round followed by a school-record seven-under 64. On Saturday, Ganter had three bogeys, one birdie and 14 pars in his two-over-par 73. On Sunday, he started off hot and stayed that way through 18 holes. Ganter started off four-under through seven holes. He had his only stumble of the day with a bogey on eight but he finished the opening nine with a par for the three-under 33. He started the back nine with a birdie on ten before recording five straight pars. He torched the final three holes of his round with three straight birdies to shoot a four-under 31 on the back. Ganter's 64 was the best round in the tournament. He finished two strokes behind Hamilton's Ramon Aroca Gonzalez who shot a 67 and 68 for a tournament score of 135. Ganter now owns the single round school record, breaking Casey Leebrick's five-under-par 67 at the opening round of the Montgomery Cup on September 22, 2018.
