Brunero picked up his first career tournament victory at the University of
Southern Maine Invitational on Sunday. His round of 70 (35-35), shot at Gorham
Country Club, was the team's best of the season. He won the tournament by
three strokes and the Bobcats had their best team finish, taking second place
with a score of 307. Brunero's previous best was a third-place 78 in the
season's first meet, the Terrier Invitational, hosted by Thomas College in
Waterville. Brunero has been Bates' top scorer at one other tournament, the
NESCAC championships, where he shot a two-day score of 161 (80-81), good for a
tie for 11th place.
