Matt Iczkowski had a round to remember Tuesday.

Iczkowski, who is a junior at Holyoke Catholic, shot a 6-under 30 to lead the Granby golf team to an 18½-5½ victory over Hopkins Academy at The Ledges in South Hadley.

"I hadn't heard that one too often," Granby coach Tom Burke said. "I don't remember one."

The Southwick resident could have broken 30 but the junior three-putted the par-5 18th for a par.

"I was in the mix of excitement and disappointment," Iczkowski said. "I was a deer in headlights."

Iczkowski had six birdies and carded no 4s. He birdied five par 4s and one par 3. He parred two par 5s and one par 3.

Shooting a 30 "honestly didn't really cross my mind until ... it was more keep playing good and hit good shots," said Iczkowski, who once shot a 33. "I was playing the best at around 16."
