St. Luke's Golf Completes Three-peat

The St. Luke’s Varsity Golf team won the FAA Tournament title for the third consecutive year on Monday, May 14 at The Country Club of New Canaan.

The Storm capped off another fine season on the links with a dominant display finishing 14 shots ahead of second-placed Hamden Hall.

Mark Gertsen ‘19 scored the lowest round of the day for St. Luke’s with a 76 closely followed by Ben Loomis ‘21 (77) and Jack Maguire ‘19 (79). Jack Fitzgibbon ‘21 posted a solid 81 while captain Will Frossell ‘18 and Blake Haden ‘21 both shot 86 to give St. Luke’s an overall total of 399.

Gertsen was pleased to secure the team’s third title in as many years: “It feels great to win it again. It was a little tough out there and after starting with a couple of bogey’s I had to scramble a little. It was a real team effort and everyone played their part.”

Gertsen was part of the squad who won the title in 2017 and thinks the program is in a strong position going forward: “We’re excited to win another FAA title and contribute to the continued success of the program. With Jack, myself and some of the younger guys like Loomis, Haden, and Fitzy all returning next year we are already looking forward to defending the title again.”
