Recap: Carolina’s Classic

Sanford, NC- After a brief weekend break to celebrate our nation’s freedom, the Peggy Kirk Bell Girls Golf Tour resumes play at a Robert Trent Jones Sr. gem for the Carolina’s Classic at Carolina Trace Country Club in Sanford, North Carolina. Inclement weather continued the streak of tournaments being halted due to thunderstorms during the final round. Due to the threat of additional storms later in the day, the Futures National division concluded the final round after nine holes. The hottest player on the PKB Girls Tour capped off a weekend of celebrating on Tuesday, capturing their third victory in a row in the Futures National division.
