The golf team wasn't ready to call its spring season over after a 14th place finish in the Worcester State Invitational.
The Jumbos had one last tournament to close out their season last Friday at the Rhode Island College Invitational. Tufts finished in third place in the four?team field, finishing 12 shots behind the host Anchormen.
Junior Luke Heffernan paced Tufts with a strong finish, shooting a 37 on the back nine of the par?72 Triggs Memorial Golf Course to finish with a round of 80. That nine, which was the second best of the day behind tournament winner and Worcester State College junior Bob Bruso's 36 on the back nine, was enough to tie Heffernan for third in the tournament.
Senior Brett Hershman was the second?highest finisher for the Jumbos in his last tournament. He shot an 83, including a 39 on the front nine, to finish tied for seventh. Fellow senior James Stone was next, just one shot behind his classmate. Junior Cal Shapiro's 91 rounded out the scorers for Tufts on the day. Senior Jon Trott also competed for Tufts, shooting a 48 on both the front and back nine of the course to finish with a 96.
Elms College was the runner?up in the invitational, while Worcester State rounded out the participants with its fourth?place finish.
