In a one-day tournament at Deal Country Club hosted by Monmouth, the junior carded a 1-over 72 to rank fifth out of 36 golfers. The Berlin native posted another top-15 result at the Metropolitan Intercollegiate, shooting a 10-over 150 (72,78) to tie for 15th in a field of 90 at the Montclair Golf Club in West Orange, NJ.
