Knights Hold On For One Stroke Win at Oswego Invitational

Oswego, NY – One player from an opposing team nearly upended the Clarkson University Golf team’s hopes of winning another tournament, but the Golden Knights were able to hold on for the win at the Oswego Fall Golf Invitational, held at the par-71, 6424-yard Oswego Country Club.

The Golden Knights finished the second day with a score of 301, squeaking out a one-stroke win in the tournament with a two-day score of 599. Hobart was next at 600 strokes, followed by Oswego State (613), Nazareth (614), Utica (615), Oswego State ‘B’ (627), Russell Sage (628), SUNY Canton (632), and SUNY ESF (692).

Hobart’s Aman Dhiman, who won the tournament at five-under par, was actually seven-under with two holes to go, but his double bogey on the 17th allowed Clarkson to gain the win.

Luke Weisiger had the best score of the day for the Golden Knights, shooting a two-over 73 to end the tournament at 151, vaulting him up 16 spots on the leaderboard to tie for seventh among the 51 golfers. Weisiger had consecutive birdies to close out the front nine and also posted a birdie on number-14 to card his 73.

The top finisher in the tournament for the Knights was sophomore Tyler Yacawych, who shot 75 on Sunday to close out his two-day score at 149. He recorded a birdie on number-4 and number-17, helping him place third overall in the event.

Eric Spoth and Ryan Makowski each finished in a tie for fourth, but got there in different ways. Spoth was second after the first day but slipped with a 78 on Sunday, scoring 150 for the tournament. Spoth started slow with a double on the first hole and a bogey on the second, but recovered with pars on 13 of the final 16 holes. Makowski shot 75 each day to finish at 150. He, too, was without a birdie on Sunday, but had 14 pars on day two.

Joe Tiderencel shot 85 on the second day of the tournament as his score was dropped from the team tally. He ended the two-day event with a score of 162, recording nine pars on day two, putting him in a tie for 33rd in the field.
