45th Annual Four Ball Championship
Greenwood Country Club – Greenwood, SC
June 4-8, 2008

Gallman & Lawrence Roar to Lead

Josh Gallman and Michael Lawrence blistered the field on the first day of the SCGA Four Ball Championship, shooting nines of 28 -32 for a twelve under par score of 60. The USC Upstate team holds a two shot lead over two other teams going into the second round of stroke play.

The Gaffney and Easley team started out hot as they eagled the first hole and continued on their torrid pace birding nine of the next thirteen holes. The duo was working hard for the rare score of 59 but pars on the back nine par fives extinguished those hopes.

The brother team of Neil and Josh Campbell along with Mike Gravley and Max Fain finished the day at ten under par 62.
