“I was up and down today,” said Gregory. “I played the front nine pretty good and made a lot of pars. I hit a few bad drives on the back nine but was able to birdie the par fives, so overall it ended up being a pretty good round. This is an awesome feeling, I’ve been playing pretty good and this win feels great.”

“Things were a little bit up and down today,” said Wilkie. “I started with a birdie and followed it with a bogey, which is kind of how my round went today. It feels great to be the champion. I’ve played in this event for the last three years and finished in the top five, so it feels great to get the win this year.”
Olivia Roberts of Chesnee and Claire Green of Okatie each carded four-over par 148 overall for the tournament to tie for runner-up in the girls division.
