Sophomore Drew Dufner of Princeton, a Central Lakes College men's golf team member in 2008 and 2009, finished in 29th place in the Division III National Junior College Athletic Association championship at the Chautauqua Golf Club, Chautauqua, N. Y. Halfway through the 72-hole event, his 36-hole score of 153 put him in a 13th-place tie in the individual medalist competition. Drew opened with a 76 and followed with a 77. But he slipped after that, shooting 84 and 80 for a 317 total (29 over par). Drew had qualifed for the national meet after claiming medalist honors in the rain-shortened regional tournament last fall, where he carded a single-round score of 71. CLC freshman Michael Eck of Pequot Lakes had also qualified for the nationals by shooting a 77 in the regional, but he did not go to New York. The top 18 national finishers received medals as All-Americans.
