Last Sunday, MIT hosted Brandeis University, also at Crystal Springs. The players were blessed with warm weather in the upper 70's, but were plagued by an abundance of leaves on the course, which made finding golf balls difficult. Schuler played the best golf of the day, leading all scorers with a five-over par 77. Kawarnoto completely forgot how to play golf on the front nine, shooting 47 (11 over par), but recovered on the back nine to come in with an 84. Joe Baca '95 returned to the starting line- up and performed well with an 85. Aggressive player Burlaud played fine tee-to-green but his putting woes continued and he finished with an 86. Young Kim '98 was able to solve his alignment problems and shot an 87.
