The Lake Forest College men's golf team closed out the fall semester by placing fourth out of eight teams at the Elmhurst College Invitational on Thursday. Freshman Durham Ghelfi led the Foresters with a season-best round of 78.
Ghelfi tied for 10th out of 47 players in the tournament while senior David Grannis was just one shot back and tied-for-12th. The 79 was also his best round of the year. Fellow senior Charlie Stein finished in a tie for 17th place with a score of 81 on the 6,451-yard, par-72 course. Freshman Davis Dekorte and Christopher Rockers were next on the team and tied-for-29th overall at 85.
The Foresters' score of 329 on the day was their third-best round of the fall, trailing only a 324 on day two of the Wisconsin Lutheran Invitational on September 15 and a 326 on the second day of the Tim Kopka Memorial Tournament on September 6. Lake Forest's average in nine rounds this fall was 340.44.
Dekorte was statistically the team's top player in the fall, averaging an 83.2 in five rounds.
Lake Forest's spring schedule will be announced at a later date.
