LIMA, OH - For the first time in five years, UNOH men's golf hosted a home event played at Hidden Creek Golf Club on Friday. The two-day event was condensed to just one due to weather, but the Racers took care of the field with the varsity team shooting 15-under to win the title. They shot rounds of 281 and 280 for a tournament total of 561 (-15). The UNOH JV team also participated in the tournament finishing second with rounds of 294 and 296 for a 590 (+14).

 

The Racers' varsity team was led by junior Hayden Hah with rounds of 68 and 71 for a 139 (-5) and a second place finish, just one stroke off the top player. Luke Turner finished third with a 68 and a 72 for a final 140 (-4). Guillermo Garron and Noah Honinger rounded out the top five with scores of 141 (-3) each. Garron shot 69 and 72 with Honinger carding a 76 followed by a tournament low 65, one stroke off his program record set last season. Zach Stechschulte capped the varsity scoring with a 76-75=151.

The UNOH JV team was led by Carter Schimmoeller who shot 75 in round one followed by a career low 70 in round two for a career best 145 (+1) and a sixth place finish. Frederik Voss was one stroke behind Schimmoeller carding a season low 146 (+2) after rounds of 70 and 76 while Adrian Martin finished with a 146 (+3) shooting 75 and 72. Roman Leszinske rounded out the JV team scoring with scores of 85 and 78 for a tournament total of 163. 

Bernardo Umana competed as an individual in the tournament with a 77-83=160 and Bruno Boado also competed in just the first round with a 74.

"Each time you can play all your guys in the same event it creates a strong intersquad competition," head coach Eric West said after the tournament. "As you can see today, we have worked hard to create a friendly rivalry amongst our guys while building a strong roster. Placing six guys in the top seven today, with four of those guys finishing under par, is a good feeling. To see guys improving and taking steps in their games gives us a lot of excitement for the conference championship in three weeks. We have been building each year within our roster and it's great to see how tight the competition is between our guys. Iron sharpens iron."

 

UNOH men's golf will be off this week before heading to Lexington, Kentucky on April 8-9 for the Midway Eagle Invitational at Griffin Gate Resort Course.
