TROY COLTS GOLF – VARSITY Embers Invitational @ Edgewood CC | April 27th Some rounds you remember because they were hard. Some you remember because everything finally clicks. This one was different. 2nd place out of 23 tough teams Team Score of 297…lowest we’ve posted in years. And it took **every single score** to get there. Rodrigo Dugarte (medalist) went out and set the tone early…then never let it go. A 70 (-1) on a course that doesn’t give anything away. Fairways, greens, and a round that just felt in control the entire time. Right behind him, Alex Wang (Runner up) matched that energy with a 71 (E). Different style, same result…steady, confident, and right there all day. Michael Malenfant gave us a 77, and it mattered. No blowups, no panic…just a round that kept us moving forward when things could have slipped. Then came the difference. Ishan Saparia (79) and Landon Ibrahim (80)…those scores don’t always get the spotlight, but they won this for us. They held the line. They kept us in it. They made sure every number counted. That’s how you shoot 297. Not one guy. Not two. **All five.** You could see it walking down the last few holes. Guys checking scores. Doing the math. Realizing something special was happening…then finishing it. This wasn’t just a good round. This was a team performance. The kind where everyone shows up, everyone contributes, and you walk off knowing you earned it. Close to the top. Right where we want to be. And now…there’s a new standard.
