Greenwood, SC– Chloe Holder (Williamston) made six birdies on Sunday to post a 3-under par 141 and capture a 2-shot victory at the Girls Fall Challenge held at The Links at Stoney Point. The course did not surrender many low numbers, as Holder and Kennedy McGaha (Honea Path) were the only competitors to break par for the 36-hole event. With McGaha finishing runner-up, third place was taken by Molly Hardwick (Lexington) at 4-over par.
Five players earned their way into the infamous SCJGA’s Players Championship by their top finish in the Fall Challenge. Joining the Girls Division in Hartsville will be: Alayna Fortenberry (Conway), Emily Baker (Chapin), Victoria Callahan (Myrtle Beach), Abby Franks (Roebuck), and Jalen Castle (West Columbia).
Cheraw, SC – After a chilly and breezy start, warm temperatures and sunshine prevailed for the final round of the 25th Annual Cheraw Fall Challenge.
First Round leader Gene Zeigler (Florence) picked up right were he left off with birdies on 2 of his first 4 holes en route to a one under par 35 on his front nine. Zach Adams (Charleston) matched Zeigler’s front nine score of 35 to stay within two shots heading into the back nine.
Zeigler constructed a very steady back nine yielding one bogey, seven pars and a birdie on the 18th to give him the title and a four shot victory. Jerry Bruns (Beaufort) rallied on his final round with a one under par 71 giving him a share of second place with Simon Wright (Lancaster) at 144 even par for the two day event.
Special thanks to the Town of Cheraw and Cheraw State Park for their continued support hosting the Cheraw Fall Challenge and the South Carolina Junior Golf Association.
