Starting Times
One hundred and forty-four of the top players in the state arrived at Forest Lake Club to compete in the 63rd Junior Championship.
Adam Hunt of Columbia finished the day four-under-par 67 to lead round one. Hunt carded six birdies and two bogeys in his opening round to hold a three shot lead over fellow Forest Lake Club Member, Luke Sullivan (Columbia).
“I putted well and didn’t hit too many fairways,” Hunt said. “I do think I have an advantage with this being my home course just because I didn’t necessarily hit it great today, but I was able to find the right spots.”
Luke Sullivan of Columbia stands at T2 carding a one-under 70.
Gene Zeigler of Florence, former SCJGA Jay Haas Player of the Year, finished the day at even par 71 to secure third on the leaderboard.
