“I had to trust myself and know that I could pull off the shots if I needed," Parrott said of the championship match.

Jack Parrott of Columbia, S.C., defeated Logan Sowell of Kershaw, S.C., in 21 holes to claim the title of 47th South Carolina Amateur Match Play Champion.

“I had to trust myself and know that I could pull off the shots if I needed. Thankfully I just did, at least through 18 holes and was able to go on and win in extras,” said Parrott.

Parrott led or was tied for the lead on 20 out of the 21 holes and only trailed Sowell after the 12th hole. However on the 18th hole, Sowell missed a putt by inches that could have lead to Parrott’s defeat before extra holes.

“Honestly I thought it was over,” said Parrott. “I hit a good shot, but it ended up in the bunker. I was in between clubs and I just pulled something. I hit it in there about 30 feet and thankfully two-putted, but he [Sowell] had a 10 or 12-footer that just skirted by the edge. So I was thankful to get out of that and have another chance to go in extras.”

The close calls did not end on 18 as Sowell and Parrott continued to tie each extra hole until Parrott’s birdie putt on the 21st hole to win the championship.

“After playing like 130 holes I am pretty exhausted, but it definitely feels nice. I am thankful that it was such a great match and that I was able to come out on top.”
