ANNAPOLIS, MD – After entering the individuals round of the Army-Navy Star Match all-square, the Army West Point golf team defeated the Midshipmen by a score of 6.5-4.5 to earn its fourth-straight Star over Navy. "I am so proud of the team, the guys played great today," said head coach Brian Watts. "They stayed patient and focused on their own game, and were not distracted by anything that was going on around them. They had to battle hard, but they hung on. It was one of the best team efforts I have witnessed in an Army-Navy Star Match, it was incredible.
"We knew the hole locations were going to be extremely difficult today. We discussed staying patient and that every hole would be a new opportunity. Our guys did a great job, played with heart and had a great overall attitude, while never getting down. The team got off to a good start and through nine holes we were very close, either all-square or up. On holes 10-13 we struggled a bit, but our guys hit some clutch shots and putts coming down the stretch to earn the win." Eric Peng clinched for the Black Knights on the seventeenth hole and brings the all-time series within seven at 41-34-1, in favor of the Mids. This is the fifth victory for Army in the rival's last seven meetings. Read More
