Baylor Payne Named ASUN Golfer of the Week




DeLand, Fla. – Fresh off a second place finish at the Memphis Intercollegiate, Stetson University junior Baylor Payne was named ASUN Conference Golfer of the Week, the league announced on Thursday.

Payne, a native of Martinsville, Ind., claimed his first ASUN weekly honor after shooting a career-best four-under par 212 in the three-round event.  He finished just two strokes behind the individual champion to earn his highest-ever tournament placing.

"Baylor is the epitome of hard work," Stetson head coach Larry Watson said.  "He is very coachable and always looking for ways to improve his game.  Not only is he a tremendous golfer, but he is a great student and a wonderful teammate."

A Finance major, Payne shot a three-under par 69 and a one-under 71 on Monday before shooting an even-par 72 on Tuesday.  He made 12 birdies overall and averaged 4.58 on par 5s.

The Hatters placed eighth out of 13 teams in their first tournament of the 2017-18 season.

Stetson will return to action on Oct. 16-17 at the Georgetown Intercollegiate in Beallsville, Md.
