Final Results

 

Elgin, SC—It is not easy to repeat as a state champion, but Crawford Reeves of Greenville, SC made it look easy defending his title in the SC Junior Match Play Championship being hosted by the CC at Woodcreek Farms in Elgin, SC.  Reeves, a rising senior, was pushed to 20 holes in the fourth round, but won the other 5 matches easily.  “I saved the spot in my room where the trophy has been for the last year” stated Reeves.  Reeves defeated Will Murphy of Columbia in the championship match, 5&4.  Murphy exhausted after playing six matches in three days was scheduled to compete in another junior tournament this weekend, but decided to withdraw after playing so many holes.  “I have made too many swings this week, that is a lot of golf  stated the rising high school sophomore. 

     In the girls’ championship, Haley Stephens of Greer captured her second junior major title in week defeating Danielle Dunnagan of Lexington, 3&2 in the championship match.  Stephens, a rising high school senior who has committed to play collegiate golf at the University of Texas, also won the Carolinas Girls’ championship last week in Southern Pines, NC.  Stephens was also the 2007 Carolinas Junior Player of the Year.

 

This annual junior championship is conducted by the Carolinas Golf Association.
