Reed Malleck fired a final-round 69 to end with a winning four-round total of 273 (-11) to capture the Nebraska Amateur Championship on Friday, July 19 at the Fremont Golf Club.
Malleck, a four-year letterman (2021-24) from York for the Nebraska men’s golf team, put together four consistent rounds (68-68-68-69) to work his way to his first Nebraska Amateur title. Malleck was the 2020 Nebraska Junior Match Play champion, and the 2022 Nebraska Match Player runner-up.
He led a Husker sweep of the top three spots at the 116th Nebraska Amateur by holding off 2024 teammate Hamish Murray (Sydney, Australia) who finished one shot back at 274 (-10), including a final-round 70 (-1). Murray will be a senior in his second season at Nebraska in 2024-25.
Evan McDermott (Spring Lake, Michigan), who will be a redshirt sophomore for the Huskers in 2024-25, added a third-place finish at 277 (-7), including a final-round 69 (-2).
Grant Jabenis, a 2024-25 Husker senior out of Omaha Westside, added a fifth-place finish at 279 (-5) including a final-round 68 (-3), which matched Johnny Spellerberg for Friday’s best round among the 60 competitors.
Jackson Benge, an incoming freshman for the Huskers in 2024-25, added a strong showing with a tie for 14th at 285 (+1). Benge is also an Omaha Westside graduate.
Malleck, who becomes the 32nd Husker golfer in history to win the Nebraska Amateur Championship, is the first Husker to win the title since Brandon Crick in 2009.
