Notre Dame men’s golf wins Canadian Collegiate Invitational

Congrats, Irish!

The Notre Dame men’s golf team had to make up 11 shots on the last day of the Canadian Collegiate Invitational to win it. With skill and a bit of luck (no pun intended), the Irish were able to make the shots necessary to do just that. They shot 17-under-par over the three rounds for a final score of 847, five shots better than Missouri and Michigan.

The Irish, who were tied with the Wolverines in second to start the final round, shot 6-under during the final round at Oviinbyrd Golf Club in MacTier, Ontario, benefiting from the Tigers shooting a 10-over. The Irish tied with fifth-place Michigan State for the best score of the round.

All four Irish golfers included in the scoring shot under par in the last round. [autotag]Nate Stevens[/autotag] and [autotag]Rocco Salvitti[/autotag] shot 2-under, and [autotag]Jacob Modleski[/autotag] and [autotag]Mike Qiu[/autotag] were 1-under. Stevens had the best overall score for the Irish, tying for eighth with a 6-under 210.

The Irish’s next tournament will be the Windon Memorial Classic, hosted by Northwestern on Sept. 29 and 30.

Notre Dame’s Jacob Modleski, who started the week as an alternate, wins 2024 Jones Cup

Modleski is the second player from Notre Dame to win the Jones Cup in the past three years.

Jacob Modleski wasn’t in the 2024 Jones Cup Invitational field at Ocean Forest Golf Club when the week began. However, at the end, he was the one holding the trophy.

The freshman at Notre Dame captured the 2024 Jones Cup, shooting 3-under 69 in the final round to finish at 1-under 215 for the tournament, the only player in the 84-person field to finish under par. He beat Tennessee sophomore Caleb Surratt, who had the round of the tournament Sunday with a 5-under 67, and Auburn freshman Jackson Koivun by one shot.

North Florida senior Nick Gabrelcik, who led after the first round, finished solo fourth at 2 over. Gordon Sargent, a junior at Vanderbilt and No. 1 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, tied for seventh at 4 over.

The Jones Cup has become one of the premier amateur events on the schedule and is the first major one in the calendar year. Past champions include Justin Thomas, Patrick Reed, Ludvig Aberg and Akshay Bhatia.

Modleski is the second player from Notre Dame to win the Jones Cup in the past three years, joining Palmer Jackson. With the win, Modleski earns an exemption into the PGA Tour’s RSM Classic in November.
