In the boys 10-12 division, Cullen Beck of Greenville secured the 10-12 title after posting an impressive score of seven-under par 65, carding four eagles to claim the trophy in this division. "Today was a very aggressive day. I had lots of good tee shots and putts, while dropping some birdies and four eagles. I would like to thank the Blade for this tournament," Beck said.
Wilson Brasington of Greenville finished the day with a score of one-under par 71 to be named runner-up in the boys 10-12 division.
In the girls 10-12 division, Brady Wolfe of Blythewood was crowned champion with a final score of seven-over par 79. "I did well today. My putting was very good. My irons could use a little work, but I know that now after playing this tournament I can get better at that, thanks to The Blade. The harder you work the luckier you get," said Wolfe.
