EDENS HIRED AS MEN’S GOLF COACH
7/6/2022 10:11:00 AM | Men's Golf
South Dakota State athletic director Justin Sell has announced the hiring of Parker Edens as head coach of the Jackrabbit men's golf program.
Edens comes to SDSU from Colorado State, where he served as an assistant for the last three seasons.
"I am pleased to add Parker and his family to our program and community," said Sell. "He is an outstanding coach with a passion for developing his student-athletes on and off the course. He shares our vision of winning league titles and advancing in the NCAA Championships."
Edens helped the Rams to a runner-up finish at the Mountain West conference championship and an NCAA Regional appearance this season. CSU's Connor Jones won the league's individual title and was one of two Rams named to the all-conference team. CSU won the Ram Masters Invitational and the Paintbrush Invitational in 2021-22.
"It has been a dream of mine to be a head coach," said Edens. "This opportunity at SDSU is very exciting for my family and me. I want to thank Justin Sell for giving me this opportunity. I'm so grateful for Colorado State and all our players who helped us achieve such great things. I cannot wait to get started and help lead the Jackrabbits to great heights."
In 2020-21, Edens helped CSU senior AJ Ott to a third-place finish at the NCAA Regional and qualification for the NCAA Men's Golf Championship in Scottsdale, Arizona. In Edens' time on staff the Rams produced six all-conference players, three GCAA all-region honorees and two GCAA All-America selections. Eight players earned GCAA All-America Scholar-Athlete accolades.
Prior to his time at Colorado State Edens was an assistant coach for the women's golf team at the University of Tulsa from July 2018 until November 2019.
Before entering the coaching ranks, Edens played professionally for four years and spent 2017 as a member of the Korn Ferry Tour. He collected six wins as a professional.
Edens is a graduate of Colorado State and captained the golf team during the 2013-14 season. He was named the Rams' MVP in 2013 and 2014. Edens, a Greeley, Colorado native, was also member of the South Dakota State golf team from 2009-2011 before returning to his home state for the remainder of his collegiate career.
