Final Results

Santee, SC—Morgan Webber of Moore, SC captured the SC Junior Girls’ Match Play Championship title defeating Hailey Cleary of Lexington, SC 2-up in the championship match.  Webber, who will be a freshman this fall at College of Charleston, survived a spirited challenge in the finals from Cleary, a rising high school freshman.  Webber took a two-up lead after four holes and each player traded wins until the seventeenth hole where Webber three-putted and took a narrow one up lead into the eighteenth hole.  Webber then secured the victory winning the final hole and her first Carolinas Golf Association major title.

 

In the boys’ championship, defending champion Carson Young of Pendleton, SC defeated Bryce Howell of Blythewood, SC 4&3 to reach the championship match.  Young faced off against his high school teammate Austin Langdale of Townville, SC in the championship match.  Langdale reached the finals by defeating Trey Taylor of Gaffney, SC in their semi-finals match, 2&1.  Langdale got off to a good start taking a two-up lead through five, but Young battled back winning eight with an eagle of the drivable eighth hole and made the turn with a one-up lead.  A Landale bogey on the tenth hole gave Young a two-up lead after ten and Young birdied fourteen and fifteen to close out the match and successfully defend his title with a 4&3 victory.  This was Young’s third tournament victory in the past two weeks.  Young won the SCJGA The Blade Junior and the Carolinas Amateur Championship over the past two weeks.

 

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