Blue skies were the story for day 2 of the inaugural 2GG Apparel Championship at Coastal Carolina University’s Hackler Course. Following threatening skies on Saturday, the players were given a reprieve by Mother Nature and had great scoring conditions for the final round.
In the Prep Series, Hailey Freedman (2018, Chapel Hill, NC) overcame a 3-shot deficit to claim her 1st PKBGT Championship title. Her third career Prep Series victory was highlighted by a final round even par 72. Her two-day total of 2 over-par 146 was good for a 2 shot victory over current Prep Series Order of Merit leader Amanda Sambach (Davidson, NC 2021). First round leader Madison Branum (2018, Lexington, SC) claimed third place at 5 over par 149.
In the Futures Series, Gaby Martinez (2018, Mt Pleasant, SC) claimed her 1st PKBGT victory in only her 2nd career start with a 5 over par 149.
