Former Titan David Byrne on safely to episode seven of Big Break Indian Wells

ORLANDO, Fla. -- More than halfway through the Golf Channel's reality television show Big Break Indian Wells and a Titan is still in the hunt for the championship as former Horizon League Player of the Year David Byrne (Essex, ON)advanced once again to the next show.

Fans who missed last night's episode – titled Keep Your Hands Off My Stack - can catch the reruns a few times this week, starting with tonight at 5 and 8 p.m. For more times when episode five will air - as well as the first five installments – visit  the Big Break Indian Wells website. The series airs on Monday's at 9 p.m. (EST).

The show started out with the seven remaining players looking to keep previously eliminated Piri “Petey” Borja out of the competition, but he ended up back on the show securing the necessary points he needed in a match-play swing challenge against them. Byrne evened his hole against Borja in that segment.

With the show back up to eight players, the first Immunity Challenge broke the group into four pairings based on the money list for a short game competition. Byrne drew fellow Canadian Kent Eger and the first hole was squared after he sank a long putt. It went on to the second short distance, but the other Canuck got the best of the Titan forcing Byrne to the second Immunity Challenge.

The second challenge broke the four players who lost into two groups and once again it was a short game head-to-head match-up as the key was to total the shortest distance to the hole from three locations. Byrne nailed his first two shots and had a sizeable lead, but Oren Geri – one of the top amateur golfers from Israel - came back to put his third shot close to the hole forcing Byrne to make sure his last ball was within 16 feet. The 2010 Titan graduate would do just that getting off a great shot as he sent Geri to the elimination challenge, where he eventually lost.

The Big Break is a 10-episode series that was shot at Indian Wells Golf Resort in Indian Wells, CA. It started with 11 contestants competing for a chance to earn as much as $55,000 in cash prizes as well as the grand prize of receiving an exemption to a 2012 PGA TOUR event, the Zurich classic of New Orleans. Other prizes for the winner include a paid trip for two back to the Indian Wells Golf Resort, an Adams golf endorsement deal, 10,000 cash, and a 10,000 Shopping spree to Dicks Sporting goods.
