The field is led by 2012 PKB Foundation Classic champion Madison Moosa (2017, Charlotte, NC). Moosa currently sits in a tie for 4th on the PKBGT Order of Merit list. A deep field, featuring 17 players in the top-1000 of the Junior Golf Scoreboard national rankings, the event will be wide open. A trio of South Carolina players will look to claim their first PKB titles, including Nicole Chin (2014, Irmo, SC), Cayla Smith (2014, Easley, SC) and Grace Glaze (2012, Clemson, SC). The tournament champion will automatically qualify for the year-end Tour Championship in September.
