USAFA, Colo. – The Army West Point golf team finished its first tournament of the 2021 fall slate with a 19th-place finish at the Gene Miranda Falcon Invite.

The Black Knights finished with a team score of 903 (+39) after going 9-over during the final round of the three-day event. UC Davis led from start to finish and won the event by 22 strokes over Nevada at 33-under.

How It Happened
Tom Katsenes was Army's top individual finisher for the tournament at 7-over par after carding a 2-over 74 on Sunday. He ended up in a tie for 51st place on the individual leadeboard.

John Heckel Jr. had an impressive showing in his first action as a Black Knight and was tied with Katsenes for 51st place. He was consistent with his rounds, including an even par 72 during the second round of play.

The top player on Sunday was Marshall Daniel, who shot a 2-under 70 and joined Katsenes with under-par rounds at the tournament. He finished with four birdies, including one on the final hole of the round.

Samuel Kim was the top golfer for the Black Knights that was competing as an individual on the Silver Course throughout the weekend. He ended up in a tie for eighth place after shooting a 1-over 73 to conclude the final final round. He was 4-over for the tournament.

Coach's Corner with Chad Bagley
"We were excited to finally get the fall season started. There are definitely things we're proud of, but we also identified a lot we need to continue to work on. Happy to see plebe John Heckel Jr. have a very solid first tournament; and Tom Katsenes and Marshall Daniel had impressive rounds on a tough golf course."

Up Next
The Black Knights are back in action on Sept. 25-26 in the annual Army-Navy Star Match in Annapolis as part of the Army-Navy Star Series, presented by USAA.
