MEN’S GOLF
Freshman Jack Trent was named Mountain West men’s golfer of the week after tying for seventh out of 135 competitors at The Goodwin last weekend in San Francisco.
The league honor was the first for Trent and the Rebels’ sixth this season.
In his fourth top-10 performance of the season last weekend, Trent shot back-to-back 4-under-par 67s and finished at 5-under 208 with 14 birdies over 54 holes, helping the 23rd-ranked Rebels place fifth at The Goodwin in a field featuring seven teams ranked in the nation’s top 30.
For the week, Trent averaged 69.33 strokes per round.
