Freshman Mark Pollak lit up the leaderboard as the Harvard men’s golf team took third place at the Kelly Gutshall Invitational at Lehigh University. In the final tournament of the fall season, the Crimson, the only Ivy League school at the eight-team tournament, saw strong performances from young players despite miserable conditions on day one.
