The standout performance of the 2026 Blenkner Cup, helping North tie the all-time series at Mount Vernon. Freiburger takes home the trophy built from Nick Whisler's legendary broken wedge.
During the Blenkner Cup, Nick Whisler delivered one of the tournament's most unforgettable moments. Facing a high-pressure situation on the 18th hole with the match on the line, he found himself buried in a bunker. First shot—still in. Second shot—still no escape. Third shot—disaster. Frustrated, Nick snapped his loft wedge over his knee on the spot. His playing partner, Mike Fitzpatrick, immediately offered to buy the broken club—and in true Blenkner Cup fashion, it was later built into the MVP trophy, turning a moment of frustration into tournament history.
The players who rose above the rest. Each year's MVP is the individual who contributed most to their team's fortunes — win or lose.
We're rebuilding the roll of honor for these years. If you played in the Blenkner Cup between 2020 and 2025 and were an MVP (or know who was), help us set the record straight.
