Personal: Born August 25, 1989 in Visalia, Calif. ... Parents are Jennifer and Jerry Bischel... Has two brothers Jeremy and Cameron... Enjoys going to the mountains... His favorite athlete is Phil Mickelson because he likes to take risks like he does... Lists his biggest athletic thrill as winning his first tournament at Madera Municipal at three-over when he was 13... Admires his grandpa for taking him to the golf course five days a week from when he was 8 until he was 16.
Watney on Bischel:"Cory reminds me of two people, PGA Tour player Jim Furyk and "Rudy" of Notre Dame fame. Cory has a unique swing like Furyk but it works even in pressure situations. But Cory is also like the hard-working, good attitude "Rudy" who played for Notre Dame. That is a complement because Rudy ended up being a very successful person, the inspiration for a fantastic movie, and the creator of the "Rudy Foundation." Cory has that demeanor and also a great GPA after his first year."
