Gannon University Athletics

Mahon led the Gannon men’s golf team to a come-from-behind championship Monday afternoon at the season-opening Hal Hansen Invitational hosted by Clarion University. The senior placed third out of 65 golfers with an even-par two-day total of 144. The showing represented the best two-day total of his collegiate career. Mahon finished four strokes out of first place. He concluded Sunday’s first round tied for second place with a one-under-par 71, before firing a one-over-par 73 during Monday’s final round. Mahon helped Gannon overcome a five-stroke deficit on the final day to win the team championship. The Golden Knights sat in fourth place after the first round, but out-shot rival Mercyhurst by seven strokes during the final 18 holes. It represented Gannon’s first team title since winning the Kenyon Fall Classic on September 25-26, 2010.
