Published April 27, 2008
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Navy jumped to a 6-stroke lead after the opening round of the 2008 Patriot League Golf Championship yesterday and extended it to seven strokes after 36 holes of action to pace the seven-team field in its quest to win the program's fifth Patriot League title. In addition to topping the team standings, Navy senior Erich Schoen, junior David Miller and rookie Ben Hayes are among the top 10 in the individual standings.
Despite chilly, windy conditions at the Saucon Valley Country Club, the Mids built an early lead by turning in the low round to open the day with a 23-over par 311. It held a 6-stroke advantage over Army (317) and a 7-stroke lead over Holy Cross (318) through the first 18 holes.

The second round proved to be one of mixed results for many of the teams with some improving dramatically, as in the 28-stroke swing by Lafayette (343-315), while others struggled to improve their scores. Navy shaved four strokes off its first-round score to turn in a pack-leading 42-over par 618 (311-307). Bucknell moved from fourth to second after improving its second round score by 19 strokes. The Bison (322-303=625) trail the Mids by seven strokes, while Colgate stands third (322-313) with a 59-over par 635. Army fell to fourth (317-323) after posting a score six shots higher than in the first round, while Holy Cross dropped into a tie with Lehigh (325-317) for fifth after also adding six shots to its score in the second round (318-324).

While Colgate's Richard Hayes stands atop the individual leader board with a 3-over par 147, he holds just a 1-stroke lead over Schoen who put together a pair of 2-over par 74s to settle in at 4-over par 148 and is second in the standings. Miller, meanwhile, is in a three-way tie for third (78-75) with a 9-over par 153. Hayes (78-78), who just one week ago won his first collegiate title at the Mids' home invitational, is tied for seventh with a 12-over par 156.

Junior Ryan Wielgus, the league's rookie of the year in 2006, is just outside of the top 10 in 13th with a 17-over par 161 (81-80). Team captain and two-time All-Patriot League honoree Chris Renninger is tied for 22nd with a 20-over par 164 (83-81), while freshman Josh Ziska is 31st with a 25-over par 169 (84-85).
