Charles Sacks '11, who became the first Brandeis player to earn all-University Athletic Association status since 2003 after a 10th-place finish at the UAA Championships April 12 to 15, shot a seven-over par 77 last Saturday, while Aaron Hattenbach '09 and Jeff Stein '08 each shot a 16-over par 86.
"Jeff Stein was trying so hard that he was a little bit out of his element. He made a lot of bogeys that normally if he was a little more relaxed he would have made par," Shipman said. "He could have shot four or five shots lower. His mistakes were more putting a little too much effort rather than any mistakes he made."
Even though the Judges finished in third, they proved to be competitive against Division I teams such as Johnson and Wales. The Judges also defeated their Division III rival Babson College by 13 strokes.
The Judges also competed at the Johnson and Wales Invitational last Friday, shooting a 315 and finishing fourth out of seven teams. Botwick and Bloom tied for ninth place overall, both scoring a 77. Sacks shot a round of 80, Stein scored an 81 and Ralph Harary '09 fired an 85.
"It was course we hadn't played before, so we made some mistakes just from course knowledge and strategy. It was a more difficult golf course," Shipman said.
With their spring season complete, the Judges will say goodbye to five seniors, two of whom-Botwick and Stein-were regular starters. Bloom and Sacks headline the returnees.
