Adam Meyer

Four Conference USA men’s golfers have been named to the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) PING All-South Central Region team led by C-USA Player of the Year and 2004 league championship medalist Adam Meyer of TCU. He is joined by teammates Colby Beckstrom and David Schultz and Houston’s Zach Mowbray. The 10th-ranked Horned Frogs placed the most golfers on the 15-member squad than any other school in the region.

Meyer has appeared in all 12 tournaments for TCU this season and owns a team-best and career-best 71.81 scoring average. In addition to his Conference USA accolades, he also was honored as TCU's Co-Male Athlete of the Year for 2003-04. Meyer is currently rated 24th in the nation according to the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings. On the year, he claimed one victory and eight finishes among the top 20.

Beckstrom has posted a career-best 72.83 stroke average in 12 events for the Horned Frogs. He was a first team All-Conference USA performer in 2004 and is rated 65th nationally. He claimed his first career victory in the fall, winning the Prestige at PGA West, and added two more top-10s and four top-20s on the year.

Schultz, who earned honorable mention All-American accolades last year, has competed in 11 events this season, carrying a scoring average of 73.06. For the second consecutive season, he was named to the Conference USA first team. Schultz is ranked 72nd among college individuals after recording three top-10 and one top-20 finish on the year.

Mowbray, who played in a team-best 11 tournaments this past season, registered a pair of top-10 finishes including a tie for seventh at the Conference USA Championship. He led the Cougars with a team-best 73.5 stroke average. Mowbray concluded his year with an appearance at the NCAA Central Regional, where he tied for 62nd.

Members of the All-South Central Team, as well as those golfers on the eight other regional squads, are now eligible for PING All-America honors, which will be announced in conjunction with this week’s NCAA Championships. A total of 135 golfers nationwide were selected as all-region picks, with 15 student-athletes being named to each of the nine squads.

The Horned Frogs complete their season this week (June 1-4) at the 2004 NCAA Championships at The Homestead in Hot Springs, Va. TCU, paired with No. 1 Florida and No. 22 BYU, will tee off beginning at 1:30 p.m. (ET) on Tuesday. Live scoring of the event can be accessed on www.golfstat.com.
