NESCHANIC STATION, N.J. – Brian Grubbs (Cortez, Colo./Montezuma Cortez) earned medalist honors to lead the Saint Peter's men's golf team to the Peacock Invitational title on Tuesday.
Grubbs, who is the March Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Men's Golfer of the Month, finished in a five-way tie for the top spot after carding a round of 71. After the tiebreakers were settled, Grubbs earned the medalist honor for the event after his one-under par round of 71.
Nicholas Dilio (Hopewell Junction, N.Y./John Jay) (12th place, 73), Eric Edmunds (Skaneateles, N.Y./Skaneateles) (20th place, 74), Brandon Molson (Westfield, N.J./Westfield) (20th place, 74) and Dominic Diaz (Bridgewater, N.J./Bridgewater-Raritan) (24th place, 75) competed in the event as members of the five participants for the team.
