Last week, the Fords Golf team shattered the Inter-Ac record of lowest score in an Inter-Ac Match by a staggering ten strokes in a match at Merion Golf Club West.
On September 25, the team put on a master class during the fourth Inter-Ac Tournament hosted by Episcopal Academy. The golfers shot a combined 167 strokes. Episcopal Academy had just tied the Inter-Ac record, but Fords Golf decimated the competition with class and style.
After their stellar performance, the team was tied for first in the Inter-Ac. The standings have Haverford and Episcopal Academy tied at 17-3 and Malvern in third with 14-3 after four tournaments. This recent victory may provide the team with the momentum to become back-to-back Inter-Ac Champions.
“It was a great performance, but we are still looking ahead to our next two matches,” Fifth Former Sean Curran said. “In other words, the job’s not finished.”
Curran shot a 33—two under par for the round—and was accompanied in the record by Sixth Former J.P. Hoban, who shot a 32. Fifth Former Quinn Gallagher shot a 33, Sixth Former Gregor Weissenberger shot a 34, and Sixth Former Harrison Brown shot an even 35. The team is ecstatic about the record but still looks to the future.
EA has been a great team all season, and we are in a tight battle with them right now

A question looming over the team: how will they perform on EA Day?
EA has proven it will not go down without a fight, putting up impressive scores of their own, so it will be a match to be remembered. The Fords’ golf team is the strongest it has ever been, with no player outshining the other. The team has been a fluent machine, even when dealing with injuries off of the course. The players’ record-breaking performance makes them one of the strongest golf teams Haverford has ever seen, and they hope to continue to win and shatter records.
“EA has been a great team all season, and we are in a tight battle with them right now,” Curran said. “Overtaking them won’t be an easy task, but I’m confident the team should be able to get it done.”
