Sophomore James Bosworth (Simsbury, Conn.) finished with a 6-over-par, 77. His round started in spectacular fashion with an eagle on the par-5, No. 1 hole.

THE COURSE:
What is now LuLu Country Club was originally a farm, owned by George S. Cox, a man who enjoyed inviting his fellow Shriners from LuLu Temple to join him there for weekend picnics. A fellow Shriner named, William H. Ward, brought golf with him from England to the farm in the Summer of 1907 and the Shriners quickly took interest.
Â
In 1909, the golfing Shriners rented the farm from Cox with the intent to build a nine-hole golf course. The desire to make it great led them to seek the best course designer in America, Donald Ross. Ross, born in Dornoch, Scotland, had learned the craft of course design both there and at St. Andrews on the coast of Fife, Scotland. He had established his reputation in the U.S. on the strength of his outstanding layouts at Pinehurst, North Carolina. Now that Ross was broadening his horizons, he happily obliged to design LuLu Temple. This would be his first course in Pennsylvania and over the next 16 years he would design 16 additional courses in the Keystone State.
Â
In 1912, a charter was granted by the state in the name of LuLu Temple Country Club. The land was leased in 1918. Inevitably, Mr. Ross was called upon again to design and build an 18-hole course. The original design took into consideration the irrigation because automatic systems were not in design until 1920. Trees, bunkers, and challenges were added. A clubhouse was built in 1927.
Â
THE FIELD:
The small field featured two teams from host Villanova, one team from both St. John's and LaSalle and individuals from Seton Hall.
