ISLE OF PALMS, SC (December 18, 2016) -- As a heavy fog rolled in on the Isle of Palms for Sunday’s final round of the Ford Picard Christmas Classic; the 54 junior golfers got to experience true links style golf. The weather never broke and challenged the players with low visibility and windy conditions for the entire day at the Wild Dunes Resort Links Course.

Kevin Burris (Conway) posted a 1-over 71 to take the boys title by two shots. He was in a playoff last year for the same title and closed the deal with a solid two birdie round for the 2016 version.

Jodee Tindal (Rock Hill) also had two birdies in her round to shoot a 2-over 72 on the trying day to win the overall girls title. Her sister; Jaelyn won the title back to back in 2013 and 14 and now the younger sibling also has a Picard Junior Classic title.

With perfect conditions for the opening round, the duo of Jackson and Jay Cole captured the team portion of the championship with a 10-under-par 60. The Ford Parent Child utilized a two person captain’s choice format over the renowned Links Course of the resort. Jackson Cole won the individual event last year in a playoff and kept the tradition alive by partnering with his dad to win the team title. They had one eagle and eight birdies on the day to win by one shot.

Ironically, Kevin Burris and his partner won the team event last year and Jackson Cole won the individual title. This year, they switched titles with the Coles winning the team title this year and Kevin taking the boys championship.
