Reed Balcerowicz Named Honorable Mention All-Louisiana

Posted: Apr 20, 2020

Lafayette, La. – Centenary senior Reed Balcerowicz has been named to the 2020 All-Louisiana College Men's Golf Team by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA).

The team was chosen by the state's golf sports information directors and includes 13 total student-athletes.

Balcerowicz, a native of Crosby, Texas, was named an Honorable Mention selection and was a model of consistency for the Gents this past season as he participated in all five of Centenary's tournaments, earning three top-five finishes. He only had one finish outside the top 10 all season and finished ranked 27th in the region and 162nd nationally in division III.

Balcerowicz saved his best for last this past season as he posted a career-best scoring average of 73.77 with an average finish of 7th place. He claimed the individual title at the 2020 LeTourneau YellowJacket Invitational, his first career win in his last collegiate event, firing a final round of 68 to win by a shot.

"This is a great honor for Reed and well deserved," said Centenary head coach Emlyn Aubrey. "He grew up playing baseball most of his younger years and decided to take up golf at age 16."

"To be in this position five years later says a lot about his natural talent and work effort."

LSU swept the top awards during the 2019-20 season as Garrett Barber and freshman Ingrid Lindblad received Player of the Year honors as the Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA) announced its men's and women's college golf teams on Tuesday.

Louisiana Tech's Mac Murphy earned Newcomer of the Year honors with Greg Holmes of McNeese named as Freshman of the Year with New Orleans' Jeff Lorio tabbed as Coach of the Year.
