2009 Ford-Picard Championship

Elizabeth Thompson captured the 16th playing of the Picard Junior Championship after she finished the day at one over par 73. The Charleston native ended the event with a two stroke victory to win the overall championship on a wonderful day on the Isle of Palms. In the boys division, Taylor Ingle fired a 75 to take the title by one stroke over Hayden Garrett and Josh Hinson. The Boys 13-14 division was won by Julian Keur and Kelli Murphy took the girls 13 and under bracket. Coleman Self added the 12 and under victory to his list of SCJGA victories. The Greenwood native has won the last four SCJGA Championships he has played in, setting scoring records along the way.

Grayson Hiott and Todd Hiott added their name to the impressive list of Ford Parent Child Champions. A cool blustery day met the duo from Anderson as they fired a three over par 75. The second division team captured the overall championship due to the fact they were the low scorers that played the back set of tees for the competition. The four divisions were preflighted by handicap and juniors were permitted to play their respective tees in the select drive alternate shot format. The Links Course of Wild Dunes has been the host facility since inception and has been a vital part of the SCGA family of host golf courses. Polly's Fine Jewelry is back again as the title sponsor for both rounds of the tournament.

The first day's festivities are named for seven time SCGA Amateur Champion Frank Ford with a parent - child format. The second day’s event is named after Mr. Henry Picard who was one of the top SC golfers of all time as he won the Masters tournament, numerous PGA titles, and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. The second round of the tournament is for juniors only in an individual stroke play event as part of the Ford Picard Christmas Classic. The Ford -Picard paves the way for youngsters to grow in the game and learn about our great SC players that came before them. Two former SCGA Amateur Champions played in the inaugural event in 1994 as juniors, Alex Hamilton and Emmett Turner.

As a special treat this year, Beth Daniel was on hand to present the SCJGA Player of the year Award to McKenzie Talbert. The 2009 Solheim Cup Captain and LPGA Hall of Famer took time to give the award upon completion of the junior event on Tuesday.
