Elliott Johnson, David Dodgen, Mark Klenck, Max Emerson and Mark Harris all win the Low Country Regional at Fripp Island!
Fripp Island Resort (Ocean Creek & Ocean Point) provided the backdrop for this year’s first ever Low Country Regional and the courses did not disappoint! Fierce competition within the 114-person tournament resulted in many flights battling until to the last few holes to determine winners. Thanks to all the staff at both courses for hosting our players from 25 different Local Tours and ensuring the courses were in absolutely perfect condition as they tested our golfers.
In the Championship Flight, two players from the Hilton Head/Savannah Tour led the field. Although Elliott Johnson started one shot behind Jeff Wong, Johnson’s one-under-par 71 was the best round of the day and resulted in his win (77-71-148).
