Papura Ties Career Best As King's Men's Golf Tops Keystone, Falls to Scranton

9/11/2018 6:33:00 PM

MOOSIC, PA (September 11, 2018) -- The King's College men's golf team battled the University of Scranton for the second time in a week, also taking on Keystone College in action from Glenmaura National Golf Course. The Monarchs were able to best Keystone, but Scranton won the tri-match with a team score of 319. King's finished with a score of 354, while Keystone tallied a 441. 

King's was paced by junior Tyler Papura, who fired a six-over 77 while tying for the tri-match lead, while sophomore and Pittston, PA native Evan Murphy carded a 12-over 83. Freshman Justin McMillan posted a 91, while Lyle Luckenbill and Anthony Spina fired scores of 103 and 119, respectively. 

The Monarchs had to deal with the fact that the par-71, 6308-yard course was wet and played longer due to the recent rains. The wind also played a factor, though Papura was able to tie his previous 18-hole low round at King's, as he equaled a score from last season. Murphy also was two shots off his previous low-score, set last week against Scranton. 

The Monarchs are back in action Thursday, taking on Marywood University at Glenmaura Golf Course at 1 p.m.
