Trent Peterson Cruises to Third Straight Public Links Title by Eight

Trent Peterson added another piece of history to his decorated Minnesota amateur career, closing with a 3-under 69 to win his third consecutive championship and record sixth overall victory in the event.

The 39-year-old finished at 8-under 136, eight shots clear of Easton Fiddle and Ryan Conn, and moved past Al Clasen to become the tournament's all-time leader in victories. He also became just the third player since 1923 to win three straight titles.
