Palmer slotted second at the Colonial Classic, posting a two-day score of five-over 149. The freshman shot 75 in the first round and followed with a 74 to finish one stroke behind the individual winner. His effort helped spark a RMU rally in the second round that culminated with the Colonials winning their own event by 14 strokes. Palmer's stroke average of 74.47 per round is the best on RMU, and the freshman has shot four rounds either even or below par this season.
