CARMEL, Calif. – Dominican men's golf started its new era off on a high note as it claimed the team championship and the individual championship at the PCH Invitational at Qual Lodge Golf Club.

The Penguins finished the 36-holes at 11 over to top the host, Menlo, by 12 strokes. Westmont finished third at 28 over par and Jessup was fourth at 40 over.

Daniel Marmorstein won the individual championship by two strokes after he opened his Dominican career with the second-best round in program history with a 7-under 64. Not only did he shoot a bogey free round to open up but six of his seven birdies came on par 4 and 5 holes. While Marmorstein slowed in the second round shooting a 72 in his second round to finish at 6 under par, Tyler Williams of Westmont was unable to catch up finishing second at 4 under.

Jerred Scott added another top five finish for the Penguins as he bounced bay from a 4-over 75 in his first round to post a 1 under and move into fifth place at 3 over par. Carter Degelman also saw a big improvement from his first round going from a 77 to a 72 to finish at 7 over par in his first tournament as a Penguin. Mason Mancasolo tied with Degelman for eighth overall on the individual board as he shot rounds of 5 over and 2 over. Carter Bell rounded out the five man squad posting rounds of 81 and 76 as he moved up two spots in the final round to tie for 21st at 15 over par.

Dominican will have a few weeks to prepare for its next competition as it heads north for the Bishop Invitational at The Home Course in DuPont, Washington, beginning Thursday, September 26.
