CORNELL 3, HARVARD 2

After losing to Brown, the Crimson faced off against the Big Red in the consolation semifinal. Two matches went to extra holes, as Cornell edged out Harvard, 3-2, to advance to the consolation final.

Lederhausen defeated Cornell’s Carl Schimenti in 20 holes, but a 24-hole victory by the Big Red’s Zack Bosse over Cho proved decisive.

Lai and Mirchandani also lost matches, 3&2 and 2&1, respectively, while Ramnath defeated Cornell’s Max Koehler, 2&1.

Round two began Saturday afternoon, but darkness forced officials to suspend play until Sunday morning.

BROWN 3, HARVARD 2

Round one came down to the final hole as the Crimson fell to Brown in a nailbiter Saturday.

Lederhausen overcame a two-hole deficit with three holes to go, drawing square with the Bears’ Nelson Hargrove after the 17th. But Hargrove topped Lederhausen on the 18th to seal a narrow 3-2 victory for Brown.

“[Lederhausen] put up a really good fight,” Cho said.

In the first match-play style tournament of the year, Lederhausen appreciated the opportunities to perform under pressure.

“It was great to get a lot of matches come down to the wire,” Lederhausen said. “I learned a lot from the matches I had which went to the end.”

Also in the first round, Brown’s Justin Miller and Peter Callas scored victories against Lai (6&5) and Mirchandani (5&4), respectively. Cho won his match over J.D. Ardell, 3&2, while Ramnath defeated Jack Wilson, 4&3.
