JONESBORO, Ark. (3/2/16) – Arkansas State sophomore Tanner Napier was named the Sun Belt Conference Men’s Golfer of the Month on Wednesday after recently claiming medalist honors at the Loyola Intercollegiate with an 18-under-par 189.
The Paris, Texas, native collected his first career individual title, which was also the first by an A-State player since the 2012-13 season. Napier put together the lowest three-round score by an Arkansas State golfer in over a decade. He began play with a 66 to put him in second place among the 104-player field, took over first the next day with a 68 and closed with a career-low 64.
