The Upstate SC Chapter of the Amateur Players Tour held its twelfth tournament of the season at the Home of the Clemson Tigers (Clemson Walker Course). The golf course was full of Lake Hartwell views and the course conditions were great. The course provided a good test for the players and the staff was fantastic to work with.
In Division 1, we had 8 players compete for the Championship. Jason Todd (Clemson, SC) used a steady and consistent round to propel to the win. Jason finished the round with a solid 74. Second place was claimed by Scott Roberts (Lancaster, SC) with a 75.
