Chase Picken '15 Recruiting Profile

July 2013Personal Statement
I am a 5'6" senior (Class of 2015) from Manito, IL. I have started on the Midwest Central High School varsity golf team for four years and have been the individual Conference champion all 4 years. I have also been a starting varsity baseball player for three years, and though I love the game of baseball, golf is my passion. As a junior golfer, I have been a member of two different tours: The Junior Nike Tour (based out of Piper Glen in Springfield, IL) and the Central Illinois Prep Tour (Peoria, IL area).
Some of the courses and scores I've posted are: Bulldog Invitational (Greenview, IL) 66; Lick Creek GC (Pekin, IL): 67; The Den (Bloomington, IL): 73; Prairie Vista (Bloomington, IL): 70; Parkview GC (Pekin, IL): 62; Crane Creek (Kilbourne, IL): 70; Tri-County Qualifying Medalist at Madison GC (Peoria, IL): 67. Other courses and high school team scores are available on my events page in this profile. I qualified for the Illinois High School Association State Golf tournament as a sophomore in 2012 and as a junior in 2013.
My goal is to attend college where I can receive a top notch education as well as contribute to its golf program. Although I live in Illinois, I am open to colleges nationwide.
