Buzzell and Stuart Take Round One Lead at Mount Vintage

Buzzell & Stuart Take Lead in Round One

 

The SJGT is involved in a special tournament this week, which is being played at Mount Vintage Golf Club in North Augusta, SC. The tournament is a regular event on the schedule but it has special meaning since it is in honor of one of our past SJGT members named Blake Hadden. Hadden grew up in the Augusta area and played his collegiate golf at Furman University. The SJGT family truly misses Blake but we are happy to work with his family to honor him.

 

The first round leaders at Mount Vintage are Mailey Grace Buzzell and Matt Stuart. Buzzell is from Warner Robins, GA and Stuart is from Birmingham, AL. Buzzell had an opening round score of 76 and she will start round two with a one shot lead over Emilia Smith who carded a 77 and a two shot lead over Mia Sessa after she shot a 78.

 

Stuart shot the only under par round in the division and his round included 4 birdies and three bogeys for a total of 71. Stuart is two shots ahead of Matt Brown and Rafferty Hall after these two opened with a 73. In the younger 12-13 Male division the leader is Chase Kyes. Kyes, the Birmingham native opened with a 74.  Kyes is one shot ahead of Tristen Wisener and four ahead of McCord Kilpatrick.

 

Round two will get under way at 8:00 AM on the Mount Vintage Course on Sunday. For all of the final results check back to www.sjgt.com.
