In the unlikeliest, most improbable turnaround all season, the Penn State men’s golf team overcame a 12-stroke deficit in the final round of the Rutherford Intercollegiate — the Nittany Lions’ lone home tournament of the year — to earn the tourney co-championship with Georgetown.
Penn State was tied for third among the 13-team field after the second round, when it was 12 strokes behind the Hoyas. But, during Sunday’s final round, Penn State posted its best round of the tournament (3-over 287) while Georgetown carded its worst (15-over 299).
Georgetown’s Cole Berman, who had a 67 on Saturday, wound up with a 78 on Sunday.
