Liebowitz Stellar at Regional Invite

HERSHEY, Pa. – Franklin & Marshall freshman, Danny Liebowitz, shaved two shots off of his Sunday round of 77 to complete the Mid-Atlantic Region Invitational with a 152, good enough for a tie for fourth place in the field of 75 golfers.  Liebowitz led the Diplomats to a seventh place finish in the 15-team field.

The Diplomats combined for a 36-hole total of 639 to finish a shot ahead of Centennial Conference foe, Muhlenberg.  Carnegie Mellon and Washington & Jefferson each turned in a 614, with CMU claiming the Invitational Championship on a match of cards. Allegheny took third with a 623, nine shots better than fourth place McDaniel. McDaniel held a single stroke Rochester, the tournament host.

Liebowitz finished three strokes off of the championship score of 149, carded by Elmira’s Brandon Christo. Christo entered the day with a one-stroke lead on the field. Liebowitz entered Monday’s round tied for 13th.
