    South Dakota State senior Trent Peterson (Eagan, Minn.) received an at-large bid to compete in the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Regional, announced Monday by the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Committee.

        Wow, what an honor for Mr. Peterson.

        Not only is he one hell of a great player but he is an outstanding young man and a very good student.

        It is a very cool thing that even in a sport domintated by schools in southern climates, SDSU is being put on the map because of great student-athletes like Trent Peterson. The Men's Golf Team had an outstanding year and nearly qualified to play in the NCAA Tournament by winning the Summit League Championship. This is a perfect example of what being D1 is all about!

        Congrats to Trent, his teammates, and Coach Baszler on a great year!

        GB, GB, GJ!

            You can also follow Trent's live scoring at this link.

            It states that he will tee off at 10:50 am. I think that is Central Time zone.

            Go Trent!!!

                  Trent is now leading by 3 strokes with a 5 under thru 14 holes. He has birdied the last 5 holes.

                  Actually he has a 4 stroke lead over the player he needs to beat in order to advance to the NCAA finals.

                  Go Trent!!!

                    His score just went final and he shot a -5 67 today which has him in the lead by 3 shots.

                    Folks, he is taking on a great field including top-ranked Oklahoma State on their own track and taking it to them. He is a great player!

                    Best of luck in round 2!

                      As with other SDSU student-athletes who have made it to their respective national tournaments, Trent is also blogging about his events this week. Check it out by clicking on his picture on the main page of www.gojacks.com.

                      I also want to send my congrats to Trent on an unbelievable round today. 67 on that golf course is playing as this course is one of the hardest in the country.

                      Golfweek.com even got into the mix talking about Trent. Check that out here. Ron Balicki is the "the guy" when it comes to college golf at Golfweek.

                      The Argus also ran a nice article today on Trent previewing the tournament. Check that out here.

                      Let's hope that Trent can keep it going tomorrow and into Saturday. He is off to a great start.

                        KSFY-TV this evening (Thursday) had some nice comments on Trent, the first-day leader at the Regional. 'And that's Division I golf, some of the best golfers in the country!' they said.

                        Go Trent!!

                          Tough start for Trent today, going double-double to start his round

                            Well Trent did not start off well today but at this time is still in the thick of it. Any score under par for the tournament will be a good score and he is still 1 under.

                            Looking at other scores, I see Grady Pauls from Witchita St. shot 6 over on his first hole for the day. On the par 4, tenth hole, he shot a 10. Sounds like my score card. Although I have a rule that I can't write down a score over double par. So the most I can score on a par 4 is an 8.

                            Go Trent!!!

                              Not a good day for Trent. Plus nine on the day, drops to a 14th place time. I'm guessing there might have been a little weather involved in the day.
