Professori Concludes Play at Division II National Championship
Warren, Ohio – University of Findlay men's golfer Donnie Professori wrapped up play at the 2023 NCAA Division II National Championship on Wednesday, May 24. The event was hosted at Avalon Lakes Golf Course in Warren, Ohio and will continue on the next two days with the team finale that will be decided in medal match play.
The Oilers' junior, who is the first player in program history to qualify for the Division II National Championship as an individual, concludes the event in a tie for 91st on the individual leaderboard. On Wednesday he shot his best round of the week, a 76 (+4) that gives him a 54-hole score of 232 (+16).
His final round got off to a bumpy start as the standout was five-over through seven holes. However, over the course of the next 11 holes, Professori made three birdies and two bogeys, firing a back-nine score of 35 (-1).
The individual national champion was sterling this week. Palm Beach Atlantic's Andrew Riley claimed the title, firing scores of 67, 70, 67 (204) to finish the week at 12-under par.
Professori returns to Findlay's lineup next season as the team looks to continue its' ascent into the regional and national spotlight.
