By the Numbers
- Gettysburg won four of its six team events this fall. That is one more team trophy than the team won in the fall of 2018-19, when it went on to establish the program’s season record with nine total team championships.
- The Bullets tied the second-lowest round in program history and finished one stroke shy of the program record of 285 set at the 2019 Moravian Spring Invitational.
- Gettysburg finished with a scoring average of 295.3 over nine rounds of competition this fall. That mark is over eight strokes better than the program’s previous season-best scoring mark of 303.4 set in 2018-19. Seven of the team’s nine rounds were at 296 or lower.
- The Bullets posted nine individual rounds at par or lower this fall. Five players are averaging lower than 75 strokes per round, led by Moffat’s 72.8.
