Men's Golf Concludes Opening Day of ECU Intercollegiate

3.17.25 | Men's Golf

GREENVILLE, N.C. - The Temple University men's golf team played close to two full rounds at the East Carolina University Intercollegiate on Monday, with a pair of Owls leading the way. Junior Aidan Emmerich had a consistent day of action and is currently tied for 10th at one-over par while senior Jake Naese is one shot behind him at two-over. As a team, Temple is tied for eighth place.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Naese was the story through the first 18 holes of play, as he shot three-under par 69 to sit one shot off the pace heading into the second round.
  • The senior was sparked by an eagle on the par-5 second hole, one of five under-par holes through the first 10 for the Bradenton, Fla. native.
  • Emmerich carded a one-over par 73 for round one, including two birdies and 13 pars as he ranked in a tie for 13th place entering his second 18 holes of action.
  • Playing as an individual, sophomore Michael Vital was two-under par through nine holes and closed his round at three-over par 75.
  • The second round was nearly played to completion, with most golfers two or three holes shy of 36 on the day. 
  • Emmerich is even par through 16 holes of play as the course toughened up later in the day. Senior Ethan Whitney is four-over par through 15.
  • UCF leads the team competition by 12 shots over East Carolina, with the Pirates' Nathan O'Neal holding a three-shot lead individually at five-under par.
UP NEXT
  • The Owls will round out their second round and play 18 more holes on the second and final of the ECU Intercollegiate Tuesday, beginning at 8:45 a.m.
