  "account": "Jake Olson, a junior from Watertown, achieved his first collegiate golf victory at the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational on September 15, 2026. The South Dakota State University student shot a 5-under par 211 over three rounds, securing the win for SDSU, which finished third with a score of 882. Olson, a 2023 Watertown High School graduate, is now the first Jackrabbits player to claim an individual tournament title since Tyler Seeling in 2025. This marks the first outright individual win for SDSU golf since Bryson Mercier in 2025. Several area golfers demonstrated strong performances at recent South Dakota Golf Association Championships, with Watertown natives Bob West, Charlie Jacobson, Jason Pieper, Steve Beardsley, and Doug Murphy among the notable participants.",
