Huskers End Fall Season Strong in Bahamas



Harry Crockett fired a final round 67 (-5) and Jeremy Sisson set multiple career-highs to lead the Nebraska men’s golf team to a 9th place finish at the White Sands Invitational on Sunday. 

A final-round 283 (-3) was not enough for the Huskers, who were unable to keep up with tournament champions Duke. The nationally ranked Blue Devils finished with an astonishing three-round aggregate score of 823 (-41).  

Sisson’s sixth place finish marked a career high for the junior, whose previous best finish was 18th (Rich Harvest Farms, 10/4/21). Sisson also notched his second top-25 effort in four tournaments this fall, which matches his career total coming into this year. He also tied his career best with a 68 (-4) in Saturday’s round, marking the second time he has done that this fall. His 54-hole score of 207 also set a new career-best, beating his previous career-best of 214 by seven strokes. 

Harry Crockett wrapped up his fall with another stellar performance. The sophomore from Oxted, England fired a 210 (72-71-67) to finish in a tie for 11th place. He finished his first 11 rounds with a stroke average of 71.82, which is on pace for the best mark in school history. His 54-hole score of 210 also beat his previous mark of 213, which he set at the Purdue Fall Invite on Oct. 10-11. 

Evan McDermott (Spring Lake, Mich.) fired a 67 (-5) on Friday before responding with a 74 and a 75 to set a new career-best 54-hole score of 216, beating his previous mark of 228, which he set at the Purdue Fall Invitational (Oct. 10-11). McDermott, a true freshman, competed in the final two tournaments of fall play and posted a 74.00 stroke average in eight rounds. 

Nebraska matched its best round of the fall season on Friday with a 280 (-8), before finishing with two-round scores of 288 and 283 to finish with a three-round score of 851, its best mark of the season.  

Grant Jabenis made his second straight appearance for the Huskers, golfing individually. Jabenis had a three-round score of 71-73-80 (+8) to finish in 59th place. The freshman closed his first fall with Nebraska with a 74.83 stroke average in six rounds.

Will Marshall finished in a tie for 50th place with a three-round score of 220 (72-75-73). Marshall closes his fall season with a 73.45 stroke average and will look to carry his strong play into his final Spring as a Husker. 

Quinn Yost finished his fall season with a three-round score of 231 (79-79-73) and finished his first eight rounds with a stroke average of 74.50.

Nebraska’s stroke average through four tournaments finishes at 289.64, which puts them on pace for the best average in school history. 

The Nebraska men’s golf team will return to action with Big Ten Match Play Feb. 3-4 at the Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast, Fla.
