LEWISBURG, Pa. -- The Cornell men's golf team closed out a record-setting fall with a seventh-place finish at the Bucknell Fall Invitational. The three-day, three-round event over fall break saw Cornell shoot an 878 with Benjamin Choe continuing his hot play with a third-place individual finish at the par-70 Bucknell Golf Club.

Cornell's three-day average of 292.7 was right on the team's season average, a mark that if maintained in the spring would be a school record low. The Big Red finished within four shots of a top-four finish. With a pair of scores at 290 in the tournament, the Big Red shot that score or lower in nine of its 13 rounds in the fall.

Choe shot a one-over-pat 211 to finish three shots off the lead, recording a consistent 72-68-71 week and helped propel the Big Red from 12th after round one to its final seventh-place team finish (298-290-290). Choe has now posted consecutive top five individual finishes and has shot seven-under-par over his past six rounds.

The team's lone other top 25 finisher in the 100-golfer field was freshman Weston Warden, who took 25th on the nose with a 219 (76-69-74). The Big Red's three other scorers, Josh Lundmark (73-78-75-226), Samuel King (77-76-73-226) and Noah Schwartz (77-77-72-226) each tied for 57th place.

The Big Red will return to competition in the spring, which will include the Ivy League Championship in April.
