“We had guys step up in different rounds,” Lederhausen said. “Some of us would play well in one round, while others would play well in another.”

This time Pollak led the way with a score of 70. Mirchandani shot a 71; Grillo shot a 72, and both Lederhausen and Liu shot 75s.

Grillo had the best combined score on the team, with a 215 for the three rounds to put him five-over for the tournament.

Mirchandani was another bright spot for the Crimson this weekend, finishing second overall on the team and only one shot behind Grillo with a 216—good for six over par and a tie for 28th place.

“Akash was great,” the captain noted. “For him, this tournament was definitely a positive. It’s a good way to start off for Harvard golf. I think the more he gets comfortable as the year moves on, he’ll start to post some low scores that should definitely help the team.”

The Crimson finished the weekend 21 shots over par—one fewer than Columbia and 13 fewer than Princeton. Dartmouth was the only Ivy League program to finish better than Harvard, posting a 17-over-par 857 and finishing in sixth.

“We consider ourselves to be a team that on a hard course we’ll play well, and on a easy course, we don’t always take it as low as we need to, Grillo said. “So this may have not been our tournament to win, but hopefully as the year goes on we’ll play some harder courses and that consistent performance will definitely help us.”

The Crimson will look to continue its consistent play next weekend at the MacDonald Cup, hosted by Yale.
