KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Steven Fisk of the Georgia Southern men's golf team fired a final-round 74 ( 2) Wednesday at the Kissimmee Regional of the NCAA Golf Championship, being played at the par-72, 7,154-yard Watson Course at Reunion Resort. He played as an at-large individual competitor in the field and finished at 6 for the event, concluding his season.
Fisk began the day on the 17th hole and proceeded to birdie two of the first three holes he played. After falling back midway through the round, the junior from Stockbridge, Georgia, finished strong with birdies on two of his final four holes of the season. He finished the day with four birdies and played the back 9 at two-under-par.
The low individual from one of the five non-advancing teams received the invite to the NCAAs, which will be held May 24-30 at Karsten Creek in Stillwater, Oklahoma.Â
The completion of the round marked the end to a fantastic year for Fisk, who became the first GS golfer to earn an at-large individual spot since Bo Fennell in 1991. He was named a semifinalist for the Division I Jack Nicklaus National Player of the Year Award and is entered Regionals ranked 22nd by Golfstat. He shot 72 or better in 26 of 33 rounds this season and finished in the top-10 in seven of 10 events, including three top-5s and two wins. He was named to the Haskins Award Watch List and the Ben Hogan Award Watch List and spent a majority of the season ranked in the top-10 for the U.S. Palmer Cup team.
Named Sun Belt Golfer of the Week three times this season, Fisk became the 13th player in college golf history to shoot 60, reaching the mark in the second round of the Warrior Princeville Makai Invitational in October, and he narrowly missed a 16-footer for birdie on his final hole for 59. His 60 was a school and course record, and he followed that round with a 67 to tie for third. Fisk shot 65 in the final round of the Sun Belt Conference Championship to help the Eagles advance to match play and won his semifinal match to lead GS into the finals.
