Trent Named Outstanding Rebel Of The Week - University of Nevada Las Vegas Athletics

LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – UNLV men's golf junior Jack Trent was named the Outstanding Rebel of the Week, the school announced Wednesday.

The award goes to the student-athlete who turned in the best individual performance during the previous week of competition from Monday through Sunday as voted on by the UNLV Athletic Communications department.

The Australian native earned a sponsorship exemption to the PGA Tour's Las Vegas event the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open (at TPC Summerlin), after winning the individual title of the Southern Highlands Collegiate in March -- one of the toughest tournaments in the country. He won in a three-hole playoff over the world's No. 1-ranked amateur.

At his PGA Tour debut last week, he shot rounds of 67-69-66-68, making the cut and finishing tied for 29th at 14-under 270. Trent finished the final round 3-under par but could have scored even lower had he not double bogeyed the par-4 18th after his second shot landed in the water.

Trent also had the opportunity to meet fellow Australian and former UNLV men's golf All-American Adam Scott, playing a practice round together before the PGA Tour tournament began.
