Dawg Tracks: Episode 1

GWU Golfer Zack Byers is the guest on episode 1 of Dawg Tracks hosted by Phil Constantino. Byers earned an individual automatic bid to the NCAA Golf Tournament by winning the Big South Conference Championship in late April.

His destination for the NCAA Men's Golf Regionals is Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., on May 16-18. The regional, hosted by Florida Atlantic University and the Palm Beach County Sports Commission will be played at the PGA National Resort. The 54-hole tournament features 14 teams and five individuals.

The top five teams from each of the six regional sites and the low scorer among individuals not on an advancing team will move on to the NCAA Championship round on May 27 at the Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Byers (Shelby, N.C. / Shelby HS) was dominant for Gardner-Webb this spring, winning three tournaments and posting four top-10 finishes. He was the lone Big South golfer to finish a tournament double digits under par (-10) and rounded out the year with the second-lowest stroke average of any golfer in the Big South. Byers was named first-team All-Big South Conference following the regular season.
