Evan Rowane was great for Prep golf in the month of September, which has earned him The Rambler‘s Athlete of the Month distinction for the month of September. Rowane was a medalist in four out of eight events Prep golf took place in. He started off with a 73 at the Corry North Hills Invitational and didn’t look back from there. He went on to receive medalist honors in three more events. And when he wasn’t a medalist, he was not far from it either, finishing 2 or 3 strokes away.
“My mindset going into each event is to have fun and enjoy the golf courses I’m playing,” Rowane said, “My teammates have helped me by always being supportive. We all want each other to do well and we’ve really become close as a team.”
Rowane has been golfing since 1st grade, as he was influenced by his older friends who later became his teammates here at Prep. Rowane has been involved with the Prep golf team for all four years of high school. In that time there has been a lot of work getting to be the player he is now.
“My training consists of a lot of practicing on the driving range, putting green, and on the golf course,” Rowane said. “I will generally train for 4-6 hours a day.”
All that hard work has paid off as Prep looks to continue their strong play into the playoffs.
“I really believe we can make a good run at the state championship,” Rowane said.
