NEW HAVEN, Conn. (Oct. 4, 2022) -- Mason Kucy and Goldey-Beacom College ended up leading wire-to-wire as both claimed their respective titles on Tuesday during the third and final round of the 2022 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Men's Golf Championship at the Watertown Golf Club in Watertown, Conn. Kucy led the Lightning as he won individual medalist honors with a three-round total of 218 (+5), including carding a 76 (+5) on Tuesday. His play sparked Goldey as the Lightning won the team championship by six strokes over crosstown rival Wilmington University.

Goldey-Beacom turned in a team score of 309 on Tuesday in the third round, as it finished with a two-day total of 897 (+45). WilmU turned in a team-low round of 295 on Tuesday to nearly pull off the come-from-behind tournament win, as the Wildcats entered the third round 20 strokes back of GBC.

Kucy posted three birdies during his third round including on holes 5, 7 and 11. He led wire-to-wire in the individual standings as he posted a two-under-par, 69, in round one and then had a 73 (+2) in the second round on Monday.
