Tucker Invitational, he closed with a 3-under final round to climb into the top 10 against a national field. iTalent Sports proudly represents Zack as he continues to build his career.

• Chris Bettencourt (Fresno State University) – Chris made headlines in his college debut by winning his first tournament as a Bulldog, instantly showcasing his ability to perform under pressure. With a gritty, competitive style, Chris is poised to keep adding to his record with iTalent Sports supporting his journey.

He recently delivered a bogey-free stretch with three birdies in the final round of the William H. Tucker Invitational to climb 20 spots on the leaderboard, finishing under par. Nixon’s ability to finish strong makes him a key part of the iTalent Sports roster.

• Cooper Groshart (Cal State East Bay) – Cooper proved himself as one of the top players in the CCAA by winning the 2024 CCAA Championship individual title. His consistency and competitive fire make him one of the most dangerous players in Division II golf. With iTalent Sports, Cooper is positioned to expand his brand while preparing for the professional level.
