Lincoln dropped in four net birdies along with a net eagle on their opening hole. Hall was consistent throughout the day and steadied the ship as leader for his squad. As a team, they played thirteen of the eighteen holes under par. It was a complete team effort to bring this title back to Polo Fields Golf & Country Club.
