Sullivan wins SCJGA Match Play

Rowan Sullivan of Charleston, the No. 6 seed, scored a 4 and 2 victory over No. 29 Gabe Schmitz of Okatie to win the inaugural boys title in the S.C. Junior Golf Association Match Play Championship contested May 25 at Congaree Golf Club in Ridgeland.

Schmitz had advanced with a 4 and 3 semifinal victory over Lucas Acevedo of Charleston.

“I started off really well today,” Sullivan told the SCJGA. “I got up early and kind of just cruised and made pars. I think that’s the key to match play out here, you can par your guy to death and make them make birdie which is how I think I was able to win. I think this tournament has the makings of something really special, and I’m really thankful and excited to be the inaugural boys champion.”

Caroline Hawkins of Columbia birdied the 19th hole to defeat Bridget Wilkie of Bluffton and win the girls division on May 24.
