Bio

At VU, Zachery “Zach” Trtan's season goals are ambitious. Personally, he wants to become a more confident player and qualify for every tournament, while for the team he hopes to help the Trailblazers win a tournament. Known for his focus and preparation, he admits that putting is the area he most wants to improve. He embraces the advice to “have fun and enjoy every moment” and says his biggest motivation comes from his parents. He also honors his father by wearing #42, the number of his dad’s FD badge.

Off the course, Zach is majoring in Finance, with long-term career plans of becoming an investment banker and earning a master’s degree. His dream car is a Pagani Huayra, and he admits he can’t imagine a week without sleep. He enjoys golf, fishing, and baseball, and describes himself as someone who often thinks deeply about things others might not realize. His favorite foods include chicken parmesan and Oreos, and he enjoys Prison Break, Sandlot, and hip-hop music, with Toby Keith’s Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue topping his playlist. He dreams of visiting Croatia and attending The Masters, while also looking up to professional golfer Scottie Scheffler, the athlete he’d trade places with for a day.

Zach chose Vincennes University for the opportunities it presented both academically and athletically, as well as the supportive environment of the program. Supported by his parents, Chris and Kristine Trtan, he is eager to contribute to the Trailblazers and pursue his motto of chasing confidence, consistency, and growth as both a student-athlete and future professional.
