On the par four 11th Caulder Moore made birdie and was quickly followed by his partner Sturgeon’s birdie on the par three 12th to take a five up advantage. On the par five 13th, Moore tried to close the gap with a birdie to go back down four. Sturgeon however had other ideas of letting the match slip away as he holed his second shot on the par four 14th for eagle and took the 5&4 victory. The teams total age of 37 made them the youngest in the field of 60 teams.

ABOUT THE South Carolina Four-Ball
The Four Ball Championship is a great attraction as
it has become the only Match Play event that the
South Carolina Golf Association conducts. With 60
teams starting play, after two days of stroke play
qualifying, 32 teams will advance to match play to
square off against each other until there is only one
team left.
By virtue of being one of the few Match Play events
available in South Carolina, this is a great
opportunity to play in a format that used to
dominate
tournament golf.
