While the senior class still has some more golf to be played, it is already a historic bunch in the history of the program. The three seniors have won two Ivy League championships, have been selected to two All-Ivy teams and one PING All-Northeast Regional team.
“Given our performances throughout this spring season, we knew we had the tools to win the Ivy League,” de la Garza said. “But of course, it all hinged on this tournament, and you never know what will happen. It was great for us come through it all as winners. Repeating with this group of guys has been a truly special experience.”
The victory was the second for six of the eight members of Harvard’s team, but it was also number two for Harvard coach Kevin Rhoads. Winning Ivy championships is nothing new for the fifth-year head coach, but winning them on the men’s side is. Rhoads has coached the Harvard women’s team for the last 13 seasons, leading the squad to seven Ivy championships in the process. While the men’s team played in Greenwich, the women teed off in Orlando, Fla., where they placed second.
