The Drew University men’s golf team delivered a historic performance this weekend, securing its second consecutive Landmark Conference Championship at the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort. Powered by a record-setting final round, the Rangers left little doubt in claiming their third conference crown.
Drew surged on Sunday with an all-time program record for a single round. The team finished with a 36-hole total of 584, also a conference championship record, cruising to a commanding 25-stroke victory over Moravian University. The Rangers’ dominance etched their name into the record books with the lowest 18- and 36-hole scores in Landmark Conference Championship history.
With the win, Drew now ties University of Scranton for the most men’s golf titles in conference history. The Rangers now set their sights on the national stage at the NCAA Division III Championships, scheduled for May 12–15 at the Mission Resort and Club in Howie-in-the-Hills, Florida.
Leading the charge was Elliot Parker (‘26), who turned in one of the finest individual performances in program history. After opening with a 72, Parker caught fire in the final round, shooting a remarkable 6-under-par 66 to finish at 138 (-6) and claim his second career individual Landmark title. His victory margin of six strokes underscored his dominance, as he became just the second player in conference history to win multiple individual titles, joining Drew head coach Lucas Artigliere.
With momentum on their side and records already rewritten, the Rangers head to the NCAA Championships looking to transform their already remarkable season into an unforgettable one national stage.
