“I’m looking forward to my first visit to Myrtle Beach,” said Bayens. “I’ve never been to the “Golf Capital of the World” and don’t know what to expect except great golf courses, warmer temperatures and green grass. I’m excited to have the opportunity to play golf with Natalie Gulbis. I started following her career two years when the U.S. Open as held in Colorado and I worked as a marshal during the tournament. My wife and two sons will be joining me so this will be a great family trip to the Grand Strand.”
