RPI frist-year Austin Rupp birdied the first playoff hole to earn medalist honors at the NYU Invitational at the Forest Hill Field Club. He and NYU's Robbie Keyes both shot 73-74 - 147 (+5) to force extra holes to determine the winner. Rupp claimed the title by scoring a birdie on the first playoff hole, while Keyes had a par. They both started the day tied for third place, but moved into the lead, two strokes in front of two others who had 149s. Rensselaer finished second in the 13-school event, which featured 67 student-athletes.
