William Ma Excels at the Hamptons Intercollegiate
In the 1979 film Monty Python’s Life of Brian, Eric Idle encourages us to “always look on the bright side of life.” Longtime followers of Harvard golf (+38, 10th) may wish that this tale tells the story of the Crimson’s all-time best average leader and former captain Brian Ma ’24, but rather, it tells a satirical story of a frequently misidentified and far worse golfer named Brian. Speaking of B. Ma, and looking on the bright side of the 2026 Hamptons Intercollegiate at the Maidstone Club in East Hampton, N.Y., his successor in both name and talent, junior captain William Ma (-5, 2nd), excelled in a top-tier individual competition among 12 teams.

Despite a historic fall Nor’easter shortening the tournament to one round, a win is still a win for the rookie. Along with A. Zhang’s individual victory, the Crimson also stood victorious as a team, spurred by strong performances from junior captain William Ma (+2, T6), sophomore Morgan Riley (+4, T12), and sophomore Reese Jensen (+5, T21).

While many squads bid farewell to their seniors, elect new captains, and welcome freshmen, Harvard faced a much different, simpler reality. The Crimson graduated no seniors, ushered in the second year of junior William Ma’s captaincy, and added freshman Alex Zhang to Harvard’s youthful roster, the youngest in the Ivy League last season.
