In the Boys 13-18 Division, Thomas Lamar of Columbia overcame a three-stroke deficit after round one to bring home his first SCJGA victory. The 2024 graduate persevered past two early bogeys to post a round of one-under par 71, which was good enough to win by two strokes over runner-up Connor Rose of Greer. Rounding out the top-three was Fort Mill’s Benjamin Mills, who finished at five-over par 149 for the tournament.
The Girls 13-18 age bracket came down to the wire Sunday afternoon, with Eileen Zeoli of Fort Mill and Edie-Raine Hardee of Gilbert exchanging the lead for the entire round. Birdies on Holes #15 and #18 would prove to be enough for Zeoli to take the crown by two strokes at 13-over par 157, as Hardee finished alone in the runner-up spot. Ava Romansky of Spartanburg finished in third place at 18-over par 162.
