PRINCETON, NJ -- GW senior Conor McMahon shot an even-par 213 to tie for fourth place, just two strokes off the pace, in the Princeton Invitational Saturday and Sunday at the par-71, 6,390-yard Springdale Golf Club. McMahon carded rounds of 70, 71 and 72 in the two-day event.
GW combined to shoot a 874 (293-288-293) to place fourth in the 15-team field, just one stroke behind George Mason and the host Tigers of Princeton.
St. John's University won the tournament with a three-round 869 to win the team title by four strokes. A pair of St. John's players tied for first. Keegan Bradley (70-66-75) and Evan Bierne (70-68-73) each carded 211s to share the individual title at 2-under, one shot ahead of Temple's Paul Amess (212).
The reigning A-10 Player of the Week, GW sophomore Cole Turner, was four strokes behind McMahon and six strokes off the pace with a 4-over 217 (71-73-73) to tie for 11th place out of 77 individuals.
