Emily Rapp of Greenville, S.C. and Jeremy Moore of Mount Pleasant, S.C. made a comeback from fifth place, straight to the top to take home the 15th Carolinas Mixed Team Championship.
“Emily hit pretty much every drive and I just played from there. She led the way,” said Moore. “My driver was good today and if I gave Jeremy any shot at birdie, he sank it. That allowed us to really score well today.”
Rapp and Moore carded 5-under-par, 67 in the alternate shot round today at Turtle Point. That propelled them to 7-under-par, 137 total to win the Championship Division by two strokes.
