Golf All-Square with Navy after Day One

October 16, 2015 | Men's Golf

WEST POINT, N.Y. – After the first day of the Army-Navy Star Match, Army West Point and Navy golf teams are all-square. The Black Knights and Midshipmen split in the four-ball match play during day one of competition at the Naval Academy Golf Club.

"We are looking forward to tomorrow's singles matches," said head coach Brian Watts. "The team battled hard today and enjoyed the challenging hole locations."

The two teams will be back in action tomorrow, Oct. 17, for the individuals round where seven points are available. The first team to six overall points will win the Star.

RESULTS:

Peter Kim and Nick Turner def. Connor Tallman and Paul Mauer, 2 up
David Won and Ben Allen def. Justin Pagila and Parker Harris, 4-and-3
Matt Plunkett and Dean Sakata def. Eric Terminello and Griffin Peters, 1 up
Thomas Fricke and Devin Terry def. Marcus Plunkett and Eric Peng, 2-up

Navy holds a 41-33-1 advantage over the Cadets in the all-time series, but Army has won four of the last six meetings with the Midshipmen.

Army increased its winning streak over Navy to three-straight with a historic 10-1 victory over the Mids at the West Point Golf Course last fall. The nine point difference was the largest margin of victory in the history of the rivalry.

The 18-hole Naval Academy course features 6,611 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71. The course rating is 71.7 and it has a slope rating of 128.

The Black Knights will face the Midshipmen in the singles portion of the Star Match Saturday, Oct. 17 beginning at 9 a.m., and the first team to six points will clinch the Star.
