Jonathan (Jon) Byrd '21 Recruiting Profile

I began playing golf with my dad when I was about 7 years old.  When I was in 7th grade, I was asked to play on the high school golf team. and  I qualified to compete at the AISA State Golf Championship along with three seniors. I have continued to improve with each year of playing golf. 

Last  summer I played in my first Junior Tournament. I had planned to play in  more tournaments this spring, but they were cancelled because of the  pandemic. Luckily, the golf course did not close, and I have played golf  almost every day since March. After a full summer of tournament play,  my golf game has improved, and I finished the summer with several 1st  place wins. 

I  am continuing to practice and to work on my game. I am looking forward  to playing in more tournaments this fall and visiting colleges. My  academic and athletic goal is to earn a college degree while playing a  sport that I love.
