For the fourth consecutive season, the South Dakota State men's golf team welcomes some of the nation's top teams in the country to The Jackrabbit in Valentine, Nebraska.
Â
The Dunes Course at Prairie Club, ranked the third-best course in Nebraska by Golf Digest and No. 41 on Golf Magazine's top 100 public courses in the country, hosts the 54-hole tournament on its 7,726-yard par-72 design. Tee times for Sunday and Monday are 9 a.m. and Tuesday at 8:30 a.m.
Â
The three-day tournament features two teams ranked in the GolfStat.com's top 50 and a top-50 player in Missouri's 28th-ranked Hayden Buckley. The field includes: No. 38 Kansas, No. 47 Missouri, Central Florida, Idaho, Missouri State, North Dakota, Omaha, SIUE, UMKC and Wichita State. Additionally, the first- and third-ranked teams in the National Junior College Athletic Association—Indian Hills CC and Hutchinson CC—are in the field.
Â
In two of the last three tournaments, SDSU had three players finish in the top five. In the inaugural Jackrabbit in 2015, SDSU seniors Trevor Tobin and Grant Smith finished tied for third and fifth, respectively, playing against six ranked teams and four of the top-50 collegiate golfers.
Tobin was tied for first after his final round, but had to wait until Oregon's Aaron Wise and South Florida's Claudio Correa played their final three holes. Wise and Correa finished one stroke ahead of Tobin with 209s.
Tobin shot a career-best 210 (70-70-70), had five birdies in the final round and 14 for the tournament. Smith also had a tremendous tournament, shooting a final round four-under-par 68 (70-73-68=211). His final round included three birdies and an eagle.
Â
In 2016, Jackrabbit senior Jaxon Lynn shot a six-under-par 210 (67-73-70) and collected 12 birdies and an eagle to finish third.
Â
Last year, senior Alejandro Perazzo recorded the fourth top-20 finish of his career, tying for 20th (68-71-72=211).
Â
As a team, the Jackrabbits have finished 11th (2017), fourth (2016) and fifth (2015).
Â
This season, with just two tournaments under its belts South Dakota State is led by senior Jared Nicolls with a 72.83 scoring average.
