LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell senior Blake Wisdom was selected as the Patriot League Men's Golfer of the Week on Wednesday, after his first-round 67 led to a top-10 finish at the Cornell/Temple Invitational over the weekend.
Wisdom was on fire on Saturday, when he made five birdies and an eagle over a 10-hole span at the 1912 Club in Plymouth Meeting, Pa. His eagle at the par-15 12th hole got him to 5-under on the day, and he eventually finished with a 3-under 67.
Wisdom's 67 was two shots off the school record of 65, set by Ben Pellicani in 2005 and Chris Tanabe in 2019. Wisdom's career best is a 66 at the 2020 UNCG Martin Downs Collegiate.
Wisdom made another eagle in Sunday's final round, this one coming at the par-5 third hole. He finished with a 75 to finish in a tie for ninth place in a field of 84 players. Wisdom was one of only two players in the field to make two eagles on the weekend.
Through two fall tournaments, Wisdom now has a team-best 72.2 scoring average, with three of his five rounds at even-par or better. This is his fourth career Patriot League Golfer of the Week honor, and he is the second Bison to be recognized this fall. Jackson Bussell claimed the award on Sept. 7 after finishing 2-under over 54 holes in a T-6th finish at Colgate's Alex Lagowitz Memorial.
Wisdom will be back in the lineup this weekend when the Bison head to Yale for the Macdonald Cup on Saturday and Sunday.
