The weekly conference award is the first for the senior golfer
NEW ORLEANS – Coastal Carolina men's golfer Zack Taylor was tabbed the Sun Belt Men's Golfer of the Week, the league office announced on Friday.
Taylor posted rounds of 66, 68, and 74 to win the 19th annual General Hackler Championship on March 9-10 by two strokes with his 54-hole score of 208, -8 under par.
With his win at the Hackler, he joins former Chant Andrew Dorn as the only Coastal golfers to finish first in the annual home tournament. Dorn finished as the co-champion in 2014.
The senior carded a third-round 74, +2, but his four-stroke lead entering the final round of play proved to be enough as the Chanticleer golfer held on for the win at The Dunes Golf & Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
The second-year Chant carded a tournament-low round 66, -6 under par, over the first round of play and then followed that up with a second-round 68, -4 under par, to end day one in first-place overall with a 36-hole score of 134, -10 under par.
The round of 66 was tied for the second-lowest 18-hole score in his career as a Chant, while his two-round score of 134 was tied for the fourth-lowest 36-hole score in a 54-hole event in Coastal men's golf history.
For the tournament, he had a tournament-high two eagles, to go along with 33 pars and a team-leading 12 birdies.
The conference weekly award is the first for the senior golfer, who may have played his final intercollegiate event last week at the 19th annual General Hackler Championship.
