Watch now: Illinois State's David Perkins ready for NCAA golf regional

NORMAL — The one thing missing on David Perkins' stellar resume as an Illinois State golfer is playing in the NCAA Championship. Gratefully, Perkins still has that chance.

The Redbird senior will tee off Monday in the Noblesville Regional at Sagemore Country Club in Noblesville, Ind. The 54-hole event ends Wednesday with the top five teams and one individual not on a qualifying team advancing to the NCAA Championships on May 28-June 2 at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz.

"It feels good. It was slightly unexpectedly. My ranking was on the bubble," said Perkins.
