| Rockland Wins 2011
Region XV Golf Tournament May 13, 2011 Philip J. Rotella Golf Course Haverstraw, New York A four-stroke margin was good enough for Rockland Community College to overtake Nassau Community College to win the Region XV Golf Championship Friday afternoon at the Philip J. Rotella Golf Course in Haverstraw. Rockland scored a 665 and Nassau netted a 669 total score for the two day event. Suffolk placed third with a 680, Orange took fourth with 732, while Ulster and Dutchess rounded the field with a 735 and 747 respectively. Rockland's Colby Lewis was the tournament's medalist with a 153 total score. Although the Monroe-Woodbury graduate fired a final round score of 77, (five over-par) he narrowly missed the day's best score of 74, which was completed by Ulster's Kyle Nissen. Lewis and Nissen, along with Suffolk's Jeff Nagel (76-160), Dutchess' Mike Dinnelli (85-166), Orange's Scott McWatters (84-167), and Suffolk's Mike Powers (84-171) have qualified for the NJCAA National Tournament in Chautauqua, New York.
