LA QUINTA, Calif.—First-year Daniel Core shot a career-low six-under-par 66 and carded an eagle on the final hole to lead Columbia to a 24-stroke dual match victory over Menlo College Friday at the PGA West Dunes Course. The matchup is part of Columbia's annual Spring Break trip to Palm Springs, Calif.
Columbia shot a one-over-par 289 to defeat Menlo (25-over-par, 313) by 24 strokes. The PGA West Dunes Course plays to a par-72 and is 6,712 yards.
Core's 66 tied for the third lowest round in Columbia men's golf history. His six-under-par tied for the lowest round vs. par in school history. Two other Lions who carded a six-under-par include Omer Salamat in 1999-2000 and Harrison Shih in 2015-16.
Led by Core, Columbia placed eight golfers among the matchup's top nine individuals. Junior Nick Brisebois, sophomore Arjun Puri, sophomore John Robertson and sophomore Dan Terrell all shot a two-over-par 74.
First-year Derek Kim, fresh off his victory at the Grand Canyon University Invitational, placed seventh with a three-over-par 75. He was followed by junior Cullen Chung and first-year Pat Healy, who both placed eighth at four-over-par 76.
Other Columbia golfers included Youn Sung Kim, who placed 14th with a 12-over-par 84 and senior Sunny Yan, who finished 16th at 13-over-par 85.
Menlo College's Jayrick Cadelina-Canyete topped the hosts with a two-over-par 74.
