ST. LOUIS – Illinois State men's golf standout Trent Wallace was named the Missouri Valley Conference Men's Tri-Golfer of the Week, it was announced Wednesday by the league, sharing the honor with Southern Illinois' Matt Greenfield and former Redbird and current Bradley men's golfer Michael Mounce. Wallace also claimed the award back in mid-October and last month as well.
Wallace produced the lowest round of his career Sunday, March 12, when he fired a 5-under-par 67 in the final round. Sunday's conditions were perhaps the most difficult of the tournament with high winds and tough pin locations. Wallace finished the tournament in a tie for 14th place with Greenfield with a 6-under-par 210 (71-72-67). The 67 Sunday tied for the second-lowest score in the final round.
The 14-team field was extremely loaded, which included three teams ranked in the GolfStat Top 50 (Georgia Tech - 24th, Florida State - 31st, Jacksonville - 32nd). Penn State won the event with a 31-under-par 833, with Georgia Tech and Florida State tying for second place at -28. Overall, eight teams finished under par, including SIU (284-290-285=859), and the Redbirds finished with a respectable 13-over-par 877 (294-294-289).
