Cornell men's golf kicks off the spring season this weekend at the Princeton Invitational, competing against all Ivy League schools plus Seton Hall, Temple, and others. The tournament consists of 54 holes over two days at Springdale Golf Club, and the Big Red will feature a roster including standout freshman Shep Davis and junior Tyler Debusschere.

By the Numbers
  • Shep Davis has a scoring average of 74.69 and has been the team鈥檚 low scorer in four out of six events.
  • Tyler Debusschere holds a 75.13 scoring average and recorded the best 54-hole total for the team this season at 214 (+1).
  • Cornell achieved a season-best team score of 869 at the Columbia Autumn Invite.
Yes, But

While the team has shown strong individual performances, their collective results have been mixed, with a tied for 17th finish at the recent Wexford Intercollegiate in a competitive 18-team field.

State of Play
  • Cornell's roster features a mix of experienced players and promising freshmen, led by Davis and Debusschere.
  • The team is looking to build on previous efforts as they approach the Ivy League Championship scheduled for late April.
What's Next

Following the Princeton Invitational, Cornell will compete in the Roar-EE Invitational hosted by Columbia on April 18, which is crucial for their momentum heading into the Ivy League Championship.

Bottom Line

Success at the Princeton Invitational will be critical for Cornell, not just for momentum, but to solidify their readiness for the upcoming Ivy League Championship and to build confidence in their younger players.
