The Broncos registered eight birdies on the tough course, of which Jason Cyr sank three. As a team, Delhi made par on 44 holes and averaged 4.85 on par fives.

SUNY Delhi won the last NAC Men's Golf championship, held in the fall of 2019 at the Waterville Country Club. The Broncos won the two-day, 36-hole, championship with a combined score of 600. Husson placed second with 612, led by medalist Eric Dugas. The runner-up Eagles earned the NAC automatic qualification (AQ) bid to the 2019-20 tournament despite the second-place performance because Delhi was a provisional member in NCAA Division III and unable to participate in the national championship.
The NCAA national championship will be held May 11-14 at Oglebay Resort & Conference Center in Wheeling, West Virginia.
