Everyone had a reasonable chance to snag the spot into the 2o2o PKBGT Tournament of Champions in the small field. The overnight leaders, Yedam Lee (Lawrenceville, GA 2021) and Ella Stoll (Acworth, GA 2022), held a slim one-shot lead over Olivia Pellerin (Greenville, SC 2024). The trio went back and forth atop the leaderboard going through the final round before Lee steadied the waves on the difficult closing stretch to run away for her second straight title in her home state.
