NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Davidson's Davis Sayman signed for an even par 70 Friday afternoon to finish tied for second at the 48th Macdonald Cup, which was shortened to 18 holes due to nor'easter conditions this weekend.
Coming off a Top-15 finish and final round total of one-under 71 in the Wildcats' home event earlier this week, Sayman carded three birdies and three bogeys, while players battled wet and windy conditions on the 6,669-yard, Par 70 Yale Golf Course layout.
The Davidson senior finished just behind Harvard's Alex Zhang (-2), who had the day's only sub-par round out of 68 competitors.
Originally scheduled for 36 holes Saturday followed by the final round Sunday, tournament officials adjusted the weekend schedule to a Friday afternoon start due to the impending forecast in the northeast. The remainder of the event hosted by Yale was canceled Saturday morning.
Despite a sluggish start, the Wildcats climbed the leaderboard late in the day and will enter tomorrow's second round tied for seventh, eight shots out of second.
Clayton Couey (T-6th) also finished inside the Top-10 for Davidson.
Harvard claimed the team title at 9-over followed by Seton Hall (+15), Dartmouth (+17) and Columbia (+22).
