Former Cougar wins college golf tourney
Olivet University junior and Greenfield-Central graduate Kelsey Fisk shot a round-low 79 on Day 2 of the University of St. Francis Spring Invite to come from behind and capture the top individual spot with a 161. The two-day event took place at the Cherry Hill and Autumn Ridge Golf Courses in Fort Wayne. Olivent finished fifth overall in the nine-team field with a team score of 693.
Fisk opened play with an 82 on the slightly shorter Cherry Hill course, which lists at 5,803 yards. Teammate Lydia Bilyeu finished with the low round of the day, posting a 79.
Day 2 moved the event to the slightly longer Autumn Ridge Course, which measures 5,861 yards. Fisk posted the round low of 79 to finish in the top spot overall with a 161. Bilyeu followed up her opening round with an 86 to finish tied for fifth overall with a 165.
It was the first college tourney win for Fisk, a former IHSAA sectional champ.
“It has been encouraging to see how I have improved each year,” Fisk said. “This was my third round breaking 80 this year, and it felt good to bring home the victory.”
