5/6/07 – Senior Patrick Kelly (Brisbane, Australia) became the first Long Island University men's golfer in school history to win the individual title at the Northeast Conference Men's Golf Championship, firing a three-day total of 217 to win by one stroke over late-charging Anthony Campanile of Monmouth at the Sea Trail Resort in Sunset Beach, N.C.on Sunday afternoon.

As a team, the Blackbirds finished in fourth place, nine strokes behind first-place Monmouth. Sophomore Greg Nicolson (Edinburgh, Scotland) joined Kelly as an All-NEC honoree as he ended in a tie for eighth place at 226.

Entering the day with a two-shot lead, Kelly shot a final round two-over par 74 and had to sweat out a rally attempt by Campanile, who began the day in 11th place and seven strokes off the pace. The Monmouth junior shot a four-under par 68 for the tournament-low round but was unable to catch Kelly, who won his second tournament of the season (Lonnie Barton Invitational on March 11-13). (more)
