Peachtree City, GA- The Peggy Kirk Bell Girls Golf Tour concluded play at the Peachtree Girls Classic at Braelinn Golf Club in Peachtree City, Georgia.

In the end, two Peach State locals took home the titles.

Two players from the state of Georgia sat atop the leaderboard after the conclusion of round one. Just one remained after today’s round. Overnight leaders Erica Scutt (Johns Creek, GA 2021) and Katie Scheck (Greensboro, GA 2021) held a one-stroke lead after their opening rounds of 71 (-1). The Penn State Women’s Golf commit Scheck took care of business on day two, following with a round of 70 (-2). Katie had to birdie the final hole to ensure an outright victory. She casually stepped up to her approach shot and knocked it within 7 feet of the hole. The Greensboro, GA drained the birdie to capture the Peachtree Classic.
There were plenty of low scores on the final day including a 68 (-4) from the University of Richmond commit Rory Weinfurther (Midlothian, VA 2020), two round of 69 (-3) from Thienna Huynh (Lilburn, GA 2022) and Morgan Ellison (Peachtree City, GA 2021).
