The Nebraska Cornhusker rides strong first round to the winner's circle at Eagle Trace
Sisson took a one-shot lead into the final round over Wieland, Vega and defending champion Evan Myers and with no one in the chase pack able to mount a Sunday charge, the Skaneateles, N.Y. native shot a 1-under round of 71 to close out the biggest win of his career.
Wieland was able to draw even with Sisson after making a birdie on the 15th to get to 2-under on the day, but missed his chance to force a playoff after finishing with a bogey on the last.
In a week where Eagle Trace was particularly stingy, Sisson never relinquished his spot atop the leaderboard following an opening round of 3-under 69 on Thursday when he made four birdies in a four-hole stretch.
Sisson joined the Nebraska men’s golf program after spending his freshman season at Arkansas in 2019-20. He previously won the 2017 Golfweek International Junior Invitational.
Sisson's title caps off a strong 2022 fall season for the senior. In 11 rounds of action for Nebraska this fall, Sisson accumulated a 72.73 stroke average.
