LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell freshman Charlie Barrickman picked up another award on Thursday, when he earned the Patriot League's first Men's Golfer of the Week citation. Mattea Issa, a freshman on the Bison women's golf team, was also honored after her record-setting performance at Penn State this week.
Barrickman, who was honored as the Bison of the Week on Monday, compiled three straight under-par rounds at Colgate's Seven Oaks Golf Club on his way to a two-shot victory at the Alex Lagowitz Memorial. Barrickman shot 69-71-69 for a 7-under-par total of 209, he became just the second Bucknell freshman ever to win a tournament, and the first to do it in his first collegiate tournament.
Barrickman's first-round, 3-under 69 was the lowest in relation to par by a Bison freshman in his first career round. He started Sunday's final round two shots off the lead, and then battled a pair of Seton Hall players all day for the top spot. Barrickman, who qualified for the U.S. Amateur Championship earlier this summer, began on the sixth hole and jumped out to a par-birdie-birdie start. He bogeyed the ninth, but that was his only blemish of the day. He ended a string of eight straight pars with a birdie at the par-5 18th to grab a one-shot lead over Will Hennessee. Still sitting on that slim lead heading into his final hole, Barrickman closed with a birdie while Hennessee parred his final hole, giving the Bison rookie a two-shot win.
As a team, Bucknell posted a 4-over total of 868 (290-291-287), good for a fifth-place finish in a 13-team field. The Bison are back in action in two weeks at The Goat, hosted by Navy at the USNA Golf Course in Annapolis.
