Career Day for Dunn and Express at the Keuka Spring Invitational

Penn Yan, NY- All 5 Wells golfers set their personal bests in route to a third place finish at the Keuka College Spring Invitational golf tournament.  Leading the way for the Express was sophomore, Taylor Dunn (Williamstown, MA) who shot a 76, which was good enough for second place in the 24 golfer field.  The team also stroked its way to a school record 344.  Overall, the express finished 3 behind Hobart and SUNY Oswego.  The event also marked the first time that Wells has bested the Keuka Storm.

The day was highlighted by Dunn's hot putter and solid ball striking.  After posting a score of 40 on his first 9 holes he got hot on the back 9 (36).  In fact, he played holes 12 through 15 in 3 under (Eagle, Birdie, Bogey, Birdie).  Dunn said of his career day that "the conditions were much better than the previous tournaments, and I was able to swing more freely without my jacket."

Freshman, Caleb Mannix (Chittenango, NY), also got his putter going as he netted 3 birdies all on the par 5's.  Mannix shot an 87 during his first collegiate tournament.  4 year starter, Justin Rigney (New York, NY) joined Mannix in the 80's.  Rigney shot an 89 and broke 90 for the first time in his career.   

Freshmen Erich Kaempffe (North Rose, NY) and Kelli Furney (Camden, NY) also had career days.  Kaempffe broke 100 for the first time in a college event shooting a 92.  Kaempffe hit 4 greens on his career day.  Kelli Furney continued her amazing progression as she shot a 113.  Furney first picked up a club a few months ago, and is standing tall as the only female in all the events so far.  She is also joining the men on the same tee box. 

The express have a week off before they head down to Rutgers-Camden for their NEAC Championship.
