FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) men’s golf team competed at the Farmingdale State Spring Invitational on the famed Bethpage Black Course, one of the most challenging championship layouts in the country. Battling the par-71, 7,284-yard track, the Engineers were highlighted by steady scoring efforts and birdie production across the lineup, as four of the five RPI golfers recorded at least one birdie on the day.
Leading the way for RPI was Robert Chuang, who finished tied for 18th at +8. Chuang put together one of the strongest stretches of the tournament early in his round, carding three birdies on the front nine to pace the Engineers and position himself among the top finishers in the field.
Patrick Kiernan and Ryan Komp followed closely behind, each finishing tied for 23rd at +9. Kiernan highlighted his round with a birdie on the par-4 10th hole, while Komp added another consistent performance to contribute to RPI’s overall showing on the demanding course.
Zydon Yuan placed tied for 32nd at +11, adding to the Engineers’ scoring effort, while Nick Ventura rounded out the lineup in 38th place at +15.
The Engineers will next begin preparations for the Liberty League Golf Championship, which takes place next Friday and Saturday at Turning Stone Resort in Verona.
