SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY (October 11, 2026) – The Tufts University men's golf team ended their fall slate with a seventh place team finish in the Skidmore College Fall Invitational at the Saratoga Spa State Park Golf Club in Saratoga Springs, NY.
Matthew Maurice put together a standout performance in his Jumbo debut, leading the squad with a tied for ninth place finish individually out of 112 golfers. The first year picked up right where he left off, carding six consecutive par or better holes to start the final round with a birdie on his second hole. The Las Vegas native responded to a lone bogey on the 11th hole with two straight birdies and four pars in the following six holes. Maurice put together two rounds under par to end the tournament with a dead even par scorecard.
JP Noone started the final day on the fourth hole and after being up and down for the majority of the day, the senior ended the event with five par or better scores. Noone shot an eight over par stroke total of 80 to finish tied for 36th individually.
Sophomore

Zawtocki started his final round on the fifth hole and after a double bogey start he picked up five par or better marks in his next seven holes with a birdie on hole number 12. The Charlotte native rounded out the event in impressive fashion, notching four straight par or better holes with an eagle to highlight his day on what would be his 17th hole.
Nick McCabe finished right there with Zawtocki, tied for 47th, with an 11 over par scorecard throughout the 54 hole invitational. The senior started the day on the seventh hole and started off strong with six par or better holes with a birdie on the eighth and 12th holes.
