The team of Blake Williamson, Josh Branyon, and Denton Moore representing Cobbs Glen Country Club are the winners of the 36^th Trescott Championship. The trio finished at a combined two under par 214 after 18 holes and found themselves three shots clear of the teams representing Columbia Country Club and Sage Valley Golf Club.

In the Pro-Am portion of the event, the Greenville Country Club team, accompanied by golf professional Matt Okutsu fired a twelve under par 132 in the two best balls of four format. Professional Jeremy Story and his team from Sage Valley Golf Club finished in a tie for second place at 133 along with Professional Rohan Allwood and the team from Mid Carolina Club.

The Trescott Championship, named after the former long time SCGA Secretary George C. Trescott, is a unique Club Championship where three amateur members from a club combine their aggregate score from each hole to compete for the Trescott Cup.

During the course of play, a Pro-Am is also conducted with the three amateurs and their Club Professional using the best two gross balls per hole.

The 2018 Trescott Championship was conducted on the par 72 ~ 6,629 yard Orangeburg Country Club. The Championship began with 21 teams consisting of a Club Professional and three amateurs.  The combined scores of the three amateurs are used to determine the team score for the Trescott Championship while the two best balls of the four players are used to determine the Pro-Am score.  The Trescott Championship is one of 21 Major Championships conducted by the South Carolina Golf Association and is in its 36th year of existence.
