SCGA Partners Championship

Spring Valley Country Club & The Country Club at Woodcreek Farms
Columbia & Elgin, SC
March 7-8, 2009

Two Way Tie at the Top

Sunny skies and warm temperatures greeted players in the 17th Annual edition of the Partners Championship held at Spring Valley C.C. and the Members Course at Woodcreek Farms. With ideal conditions, scores were low in the first round as players took advantage of the Captains Choice format being played at both courses.

After the first round there is a two way tie in the Championship Division with the Dargan brothers, David and Robert, tied with Chris Mitchell and Jarrett Grimes at 61. Only one shot back are three teams tied at 62.

In the Tournament Division the Mt. Pleasant team of Bruce Fleming and Scotty Welch shot nines of 31 – 31 for a total of ten under par 62. Fleming and Welch hold a two shot lead over Sam McCrorey and Mark Golightly of Rock Hill.

The 2009 SCGA Partners Championship is being played over two golf courses, the par 72 – 6,665 yard Spring Valley CC course in Columbia, S.C and the par 72- 6,686 yard Members Club at Woodcreek Farms course in Elgin. The field consists of 93 two-man teams split into two different Divisions based on handicap, the Championship Division and the Tournament Division. Each division is playing a Captains Choice format the first day and a Best Ball format the second while alternating courses each day. The Partners Championship is one of 19 Major Championships conducted annually by the South Carolina Golf Association.
