Binghamton golf kicked off its spring season with two events this past week, finishing tied for 25th out of 32 teams at the C&F Bank Intercollegiate on March 24-26 and seventh out of 24 teams at the Whiting-Turner Towson Invitational March 31 to April 2.

In what was originally slated to be a 54-hole event, the C&F Bank Intercollegiate turned into a single-round tournament due to weather and scheduling issues. The Bearcats finished with a team score of 3-7 (+27) on the par 70 River Course in Williamsburg.

BU was led by junior Bryce Edmister, who shot a team-best 73 (+3) en route to a 25th place finish. While he failed to hole a birdie on the front nine, he came out firing on all cylinders on the back nine. He birdied the par 4 10th hole, the par 4 14th hole and the par 3 17th hole. Despite a double bogey on 12, Edmister shot one-under par over his last six holes.

Senior David Cellura managed just a 39 (+4) on the front nine, but shot one-over par the rest of the way to finish with a 75 (+1). He played holes 9 through 17 at even par, knocking down birdies on holes 11 and 15.

Freshman Jesse Perkins, who shot a 79 (+9), and sophomore Josh Holling, who shot an 80 (+10), rounded out the scoring for Binghamton.

No. 27 Tennessee shot a team score of 285 (+5) to secure the team title. The Volunteers had two players inside the top-10 who both shot a one-under par 69. Senior Casey Olson of Eastern Michigan and freshman Cory Sciupider of Notre Dame shot scores of three-under par to split the individual title.

On Tuesday, the Bearcats posted a final-round score of 319 (+31) to finish seventh at the Whiting-Turner Towson Invitational at the par 72 Prospect Bay course. While the Bearcats started the day in fifth place, windy conditions kept the team from making any sort of push.

Perkins, who tied for 16th, put forth the best individual finish of his career. The freshman was consistent throughout the weekend, recording scores of 76 on the first two days and 77 on the final day. His previous best finish came in early September at the CCSU Blue Devils Invitational, when he placed T-34.

Sedgewick’s final round of 81 (+17) included eight pars, five bogeys, three double bogeys and two birdies as the wind played games with him all day. The sophomore finished 30th in the 119-man field.

Edmister, meanwhile, started the tournament with uncharacteristic scores of 81 and 82, only to put forth a bounce-back effort on the final day with a four-over par 76.

While Cellura impressed on the first two days of the tournament with finishes of 76 and 74, his final day score of 85 landed him in 40th place.

Up next for Binghamton will be the Mount St. Mary’s Spring Invitational, scheduled for April 15-16.
