Men's golf season takes a break as Nolan Schuermann emerges prominently
Holy Cross Men's Golf Teams Shines at Tournaments Ahead of Patriot League Championship
The Holy Cross men's golf teams is heading into this weekend's Patriot League Men's Golf Championship at Hillendale Country Club with a strong momentum, following a series of impressive performances in tournaments this season.
The teams, under the leadership of junior captain Owen Egan, finished fifth at the Shark Invitational, marking Schuermann's first top-place finish at the collegiate level. Schuermann led the teams, carding an opening round 69 (-3).
First-years Alex Elia, Ryan Scollins, Thomas O'Neill, and sophomore Lars-Belvin Larsson also competed for Holy Cross. Elia finished in a tie for 17th, Scollins in a tie for 30th, O'Neill in a tie for 39th, and Larsson in a tie for 45th. Each of the freshmen had phenomenal summers and started in most of the teams' tournaments this fall.
The teams' strong culture of leadership is expected to continue in the future. The Holy Cross golf program emphasizes recruiting leaders who focus on uplifting and elevating those around them. This approach has been evident this season, as the teams have shown consistent strong performances despite graduating three seniors this past spring.
Junior Nolan Schuermann and seniors Christian Emmerich '23 and Juan Suau '23 are playing in their final seasons for the Holy Cross men's golf teams. The teams' historic season continued with a second-place finish in the Patriot League Championship. This is the teams' best finish since 1998, where they placed fourth.
Aiden Konold '26 and Brendan Grudberg '28 are staff writers for the articles about the Holy Cross men's golf teams. The teams also won the Roar-EE Invitational sponsored by Long Island University.
As the teams prepare for the Patriot League Championship, they aim to maintain their strong performances and continue their historic season. The search results do not provide the name of the head coach for the Holy Cross Men's Golf Teams at Boston College. Nonetheless, the teams' leadership and camaraderie remain the driving forces behind their success.
