East Carolina University men’s golfer Blake Taylor has stayed busy this offseason, as the junior qualified and participated in his first PGA tour event at the Greenbrier Classic at the Old White TPC course in Glade Springs, West Virginia.
Taylor finished the qualifier with a five under score of 66, tying for second place with Wes Homan, Logan Lagodich and Mark Silvers. Along with Homan and Lagodich, Taylor defeated Silvers in a playoff to secure the final three qualifying spots for the tournament. Although Taylor went on to miss the cut in the Greenbrier Classic, his ECU head coach Andrew Sapp knows the experience Taylor gained will help him in his third season with the Pirates.
