LAS VEGAS – After playing 18 holes with amateur Jack Trent on Tuesday, Adam Scott thought the UNLV junior could have “a really solid week.”
Good call.
After an opening bogey Thursday at TPC Summerlin, Trent ripped off five birdies before he dropped another shot. He finished his round bogey-birdie-bogey-birdie for a 4-under 67 in his PGA Tour debut.
“First tee nerves got me,” he admitted. “Bounced back with a birdie and after that really started to settle in.”
Trent is playing on a sponsor exemption this week thanks to his victory at the Southern Highlands Collegiate.
