On Sunday, September 15, the 2013 Peggy Kirk Bell Girls’ Golf Tour concluded the TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS at Moss Creek Country Club (Devils Elbow North Course). Moss Creek, home to the NCAA Southern Conference Women’s Golf Championship and the Low Country Intercollegiate hosted by Wofford College, is among the finest in all of the Lowcountry golf courses and Devils Elbow North is a great course for this exclusive, invitation-only major championship. To have earned an invitation, players must have: won (or finished runner-up when the champion is ineligible) a 2013 PKBGT event, placed in the top-3 at a 2013 PKBGT Major Championship, or won a Bell Division 2012 PKBGT event. The event featured a field of 19 players. The field was quite strong with 12 of the top 30 players on the 2013 PKBGT Order of Merit lists.
