WINTERGREEN, VA - Senior Michael Butzgy (Miller Place, NY/Miller Place) won his first collegiate golf tournament on Monday, as he shot a three-under par 141 over the two-day Virginia Intercollegiate Tournament held at the par-72 Wintergreen Resort.

Butzgy opened the tournament with a round of 70, which was the top carded 18 holes of the two-days. The round of 70 was also his low round of the season, and tied for his best time out as a Hornet.
The Hornets finished fifth, booking a 50-over 626 for the tournament. Daniel Bost (Lynchburg, VA/E.C. Glass) tied for 21st with a 14-over 158 over the two-days, while junior Joey Brunet (Virginia Beach, VA/Kellum) shot a 78 Sunday and an 80 on Monday to tie for 24th place.
