BY THE NUMBERS

• The William J. Devine course was under repair and played as a 17-hole par 66 with the eighth hole entirely offline for the match.

• Byrne's 73 was a new unofficial career-low.
• Fisher only had two golfers compete in the match and was disqualified from the team competition despite Cooper Lewis (Littleton, Mass.) and Dan Robbins (Saugus, Mass.) shooting an 84 and 95.

WHAT'S NEXT?

• Emmanuel returns to action next Tuesday when they return to William J. Devine Golf Course for the Saints Invitational where they'll welcome Dean, Fisher and Mitchell for another quad match.
