Tip Price made birdie on the third playoff hole to be crowned champion of the boys division of the 2023 Morgan.
“I got off to a hot start,” Price said. “I was five under through eight and then had a series of bad shots and bad breaks and ended up in a playoff with one of my best friends, but I finally got it done. It feels good to be the champion. I had a lot of people out here supporting, so I'm glad I pulled through for them.”
Lilly Reed Black of Chapin posted a final round score of eight-over par 80 to take home the title in the girls division. Overall, she finished the tournament with a score of 13-over par 157.
“I got off to a bumpy start,” Black said. “But I was able to reel it back in, keep a good attitude and make a few pars and birdies. It feels really good to be the champion. I have been working hard for a long time, so it feels great to finally see the results of that.”
