Frank is a freshman at the University of Jamestown and is majoring in business management. Frank opened with a 75 before posting a 70 in round 2, which was the second-best round of the tournament and low for round 2; 75-70-145. “He blew me away,” head coach Dustin Jensen said of the freshman from Sartell. “It was completely unexpected. He’s been a big surprise. We knew he was going to be solid, but he’s really proven himself.” Frank finished third at the University of Jamestown Invitational held Sep 21-22. He was tied for the lead after the first round shooting even par 72, but fell off the pace slightly with a 75 Sept. 22; 72-75-147.
