A talented young golfer from Estevan has committed to play collegiate golf in the U.S.
Chase Gedak announced Monday via Twitter that he had committed to play for the University of Arkansas-Monticello, starting in the fall of 2020. It’s an NCAA Division 2 program.
“Thank you to everyone that has helped me get to this point,” Gedak wrote in the tweet.
Gedak has had an accomplished career in golf with the Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs and the junior golf program at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club. Most recently, he won the gold medal in the boys singles event at the high school golf provincials held at Woodlawn in September.
He finished with a two-round total of 143 and won the boys individual event by 11 strokes over fellow Estevan golfer Jayden Dudas.
Gedak also helped Team South East win the team event, his third provincial team title in four years at ECS.
The Mercury will have more details on this story as they become available.
