RESULTS
WOODMONT, Md. – Junior Jackson Bussell won his second career individual title and the Bucknell men's golf team claimed the team crown – both by one-stroke margins – at the Howard Bison Invitational at Woodmont Country Club.
Scoring conditions were difficult throughout the 54-hole tournament, and Bucknell won it with a 922 total after posting a final-round 312 on Monday. The Bison shot 306 and 304 on Sunday, and the closing 312 was good enough to hold off runner-up William & Mary by a single shot. The Tribe also closed with a 312 for a 923 total.
Princeton (926), Towson (927) and Howard (930) rounded out a closely contested top five.
Bussell was medalist at the Battle at Rum Pointe last spring, and now he is a two-time winner after edging William & Mary's Ethan Mangum on Monday. Both players closed with a 4-over-par 76 – there were only three scores better than that in the entire field – and Bussell finished with an 8-over 224. He birdies his first hole of the day and was even at the turn. A big moment for him came at the par-5 15th hole, where he made a birdie coming off a double-bogey at 14.
Blake Wisdom shot 76 on Monday to secure a top-10 finish. Wisdom, who eagled the par-5 fifth hole, finished T-9th with a 231 total. Bucknell also counted a pair of 80s from Michael Rudnick and Jack Gardner.
Bucknell's team victory was its first since winning the Battle at Rum Pointe last March 27-28. It is the 41st tournament title in program history and the sixth in the last six years under head coach Mike Binney.
Bussell joins Mike Chutz, Scott Spangenberg, Charlie Waddell, Andrew Cohen, Brian Bartow and Chris Tanabe as multiple individual winners at Bucknell.
Bucknell has one more fall tournament remaining, coming up Friday and Saturday at the Lehigh Invitational.
