STATESBORO – Georgia Southern senior Steven Fisk woke up with a fever.
Not a bad one, but it came at an extremely inopportune time. He was set to play in a US Amateur Qualifier at Brickyard Golf Club that day and hoping to post a score that would put him on track for a second-straight appearance in the US Am.
He muddled through the round, shooting a 74, but could not shake the fever and had to withdraw in the second round. Fisk would rather lose a limb then withdraw from a golf tournament, so clearly, he was in pretty bad shape.
