"As we started our fourth consecutive round in four days, we were just exhausted. Sarcasm and frustration took over, and again we fell apart," Malcolm said.
The team slogged through the last round with Vazales at 81, Erickson at 79, Malcolm at 81, Deardourff at 79, and Lynch at 81. Again, the team purposely left the match before the final standings were posted.
This last round of desperation echoed a trying spring season. The Crimson played its best golf at the Yale match, which was the first of the four spring tournaments.
Three weeks ago, at the Ivy League championships, it began to flag, and none of the golfers qualified for the NCAA tournament. These last two matches, cramped into one four-day block, were the last in this saga of trial.
"The season did end on a bad note, but we are a very young team, and we're gaining experience. We're still looking forward to next year," Malcolm said.
