Both Harvard golf teams were in action this week, but neither team could finish higher than fifth at their respective Ivy League championships.
The men shot 318-318-317=953, eight strokes behind Dartmouth. Princeton won the title, posting a 901 during the two-day event held at Metedeconk Country Club in Jackson, N.J.
None of the Crimson duffers was able to place in the top ten and thus make the All-Ivy team. Junior Andrew Malcolm was the closest, finishing in 11th place with a 232, one stroke out of tenth place.
Senior Tim Deardourff shot a 239 and freshman Andrew Klein was right behind with a 241.
Despite improving one position after two consecutive seventh-place finishes at the Ivies, Malcolm was not pleased with the results.
"The Harvard golf team is definitely a class of underachievement," he said. "We feel we have as good a team of golfers as anyone else."
Beginning on Tuesday, the Crimson competed at the New England Championships, a 23-team, two-round tournament held at Maplegate Country Club in nearby Bellingham, Mass.
The squad regressed from the weekend, and Malcolm, who had been the best golfer for Harvard at the Ivies, shot an 82-83=165 to place second-worst on the team.
