Sport: Golf
Bob Etzweiler is still remembered as one of Bucknell's top golfers, and he occupied the No. 1 or 2 position on Bison squads that captured three straight Middle Atlantic Conference championships. Etzweiler won the MAC individual title in 1959, tied for second in 1960 and placed fifth in 1961. He qualified for the NCAA Championship during his senior campaign and became one of only five eastern players to qualify for the match-play field of 64, which was eventually won by Jack Nicklaus. The York, Pa., native was also selected to play in the East-West Match at that tournament. In an era when virtually all of the competition was in match-play format, Etzweiler had a career dual-match record of 23-10-1 and was 18-3-1 against MAC opponents. He helped lead Bucknell to a 25-9 record during his career, including a school-record 10-2 record in 1961. Etzweiler, who was just the second golfer to be inducted into the Bucknell Hall of Fame, later won numerous amateur titles in the York area.Â
