VERMILLION, S.D. – South Dakota senior Matt Tolan has been named Wisconsin State Golf Association player of the year for 2019.
 
Tolan, a 21-year old native of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, played well in some of Wisconsin's most important amateur events during the summer, earning top 10 finishes in every event.
 
Tolan, a fixture in the Coyotes lineup all four seasons, tied for second place in the Wisconsin State Amateur Championships. He recorded solo runner-up finishes at the Ray Fischer Amateur and Wisconsin's annual U.S. Amateur qualifier. He also tied for ninth place at the WSGA Match Play Championship.
 
"It is quite an honor to be named Wisconsin Amateur Player of the Year," said Tolan. "With all the great talent within the state, I could not be more humbled to receive this honor. I think it shows just how hard I push myself to be the best I can possibly be."
 
South Dakota begins the spring season at the UNC Greensboro Martin Downs Collegiate that runs Feb. 14-16.
