Team captain and junior Xavier Marcoux led the way for RU with one of the most memorable moments of the season when he sunk the first hole in one of his career from 191 yards in Round 1 on Friday. Marcoux led the team with a 17^th place finish. Marcoux shot a 224 through the three-day tournament. 

“It was definitely one of the hardest pins all day,” Marcoux said on Friday following Round 1. “I used a six iron, threw a laser in there and it went in.”
