HUMACAO, P.R. – The Temple Golf team begins their 2024 spring season Sunday in the Palmas del Mar Collegiate. The three-day tournament is hosted by UNC Greensboro and will be held at the 7122-yard par-72 Wyndham Palmas Beach & Golf Resort in Humacao, Puerto Rico.

Scouting the Owls

The team saw a large contribution this spring from sophomore, Aidan Emmerich, who led the Owls in scoring average with a one stroke to par average of 72.1. This included team leading two top-5, four top-10, and five top-20 finishes in the six events he participated in last fall.
Three other Owls participated in all six events from the fall. Sr. Graham Chase (72.7), Jr. Ethan Whitney (73.4), and Jr. Michael Walsh (73.9) all had a scoring average sub-74 and had a combined seven top-20 finishes in the fall.
Junior Joey Morganti is coming off his first career collegiate win at the Big 5 Championship last October. Morganti shot a career best 67 before winning the three-player tiebreaker at Sunnybrook Golf Club in Plymouth Meeting, Pa.
The Owls as a team placed top-5 in three of their six tournaments in the fall: the Cornell Fall Invitational (2^nd), the Temple Invitational (4^th), and the Big 5 Championship (2^nd).

The Owls will be 1 of 13 teams competing in Humacao. They will compete against Virginia Tech, Arkansas, Michigan, Wofford, Elon, Drexel, Samford, Kennesaw State, High Point, Mercer, Bucknell, and tournament host UNC Greensboro.
