ALBANY, N.Y.—First-year Aman Dhiman continued his torrid start to his collegiate career, tying for fifth place in the 36-hole RPI Invitational at Shaker Ridge Country Club. He led the Hobart golf team to a seventh place finish in the team standings.
 
At the conclusion of Sunday's first round, Dhiman was in 19th place, five over par and six shots off the lead. He rose up the leaderboard in Monday's closing round, carding five birdies and an eagle on the par 5 fifth hole. Dhiman's even par 71 was the second best 18-hole score of the day. He shot a 147 for 36 holes, just three strokes behind the leader.
 
The Statesmen placed two other golfers in the top 25. Sophomore Robby Kurzer carded rounds of 77 and 76 to tie for 18th place, while first-year Troy Gregg shot a 79 followed by a 75 to tie for 25th place in a field of 80 golfers.
 
Swarthmore won the team title, finishing 21 over par. NYU was second at 26 over followed by Bishop (+30), Farmingdale State (+36), RPI (+40), Skidmore (+44), Hobart (+45) and Stevens (+51). SUNY Delhi, Russell Sage, Springfield, Clarkson, RPI "B" and Mt. St. Mary's rounded out the field.
