NORMAL — Trent Wallace turns 20 years old on Thursday. He's got big plans, too, thanks to a present he gave himself last week.
"There's no better way to spend my birthday than playing Rich Harvest Farms," he said.
The Illinois State sophomore golfer will be playing his practice round for the NCAA Championship in Sugar Grove, which starts Friday in the western Chicago suburbs.
Wallace is believed to be the first ISU men's golfer in the national finals since D.A. Weibring led the Redbirds as a team in 1975. Samantha Richdale qualified for the NCAA Women's Championship as an individual in 2004.
