Owens selected for prestigious Casteñeda Scholarship

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee men's golfer Tanner Owens was recognized Thursday as one of 14 recipients of the Jim Casteñeda Postgraduate Scholarship Award, as announced by the Conference USA office.

Owens, who will be a fifth-year senior on Head Coach Mark McEntire's squad in the 2020-21 men's golf season, will now be the program's top returner for the second year running after posting a stellar 71.8 stroke average in 2019-20. He is just the fourth Blue Raider ever to post an under par scoring average over the course of a single season.
