Mamaroneck native and Bucknell junior Andrew Cohen captured the Patriot League championship with rounds of 71, 68 and 69 this past weekend at West Point Golf Club (par 70). The score was eight strokes better than the second-place finisher and was the best in conference tournament history.
Cohen and Rye Neck graduate Brian Bartow also guided Bucknell to a team championship, edging Navy by five strokes. Bartow, a junior, posted rounds of 77, 76 adn 74 to finish tied for ninth in the field of 41 golfers. Bucknell earns a bid to the NCAA championships for the third time in four seasons.
It’s been a very strong season for Cohen, who won last week’s Caves Valley Intercollegiate tournament, the first victory of his college career. Cohen was 16th out of 117 at the George Washington Invitational in late March and tied for fourth at the Monmouth Invitational the following week.
In the fall, Cohen had four Top 10 finishes in six tournaments, including a fourth-place showing at the ECAC Championship. He led the team with a 75.25 scoring average.
The NCAA championships are held at various regional sites on May 14-16. Bucknell will learn its destination next Monday.
Congrats Andrew!
