Knight led the Buffaloes to a third place finish in the Mark Simpson-CU Invitational at Boulder Country Club on Sept. 29-30. He was the top Buffalo for the third time in four tournaments, individually finishing third after closing with a 2-under 68 for an 8-under 202 total on the 7,085-yard, par-70 course. The 202 is the fourth-best score in school history on a par-70 course, and the 20th time a player recorded three rounds in the 60’s in a tournament. In playing all the hole designs under par – 4-under on the par-4’s and 2-under on the par-3’s and par-5’s – it was Knight’s team-best for the eighth time in his career he was par or better on all the configurations and the third time he was in the red on all three. He is now within two of the all-time CU record of 10 set by Justin Biwer between 2021 and 2025. Knight has kicked off his season with four top 20 finishes – 14 in his career – with two third place performances. He made par or better on 194 of 216 holes thus far this season, a 89.8 percentage and likely one of the top figures nationally.
