A championship spring has rolled over into an impressive start to the summer for Hilton Head Prep golfers. After Minnesota-bound recent Prep grad Jack Crousore won the Match Play at Congaree last month, teammate Jeep Patrick came through in the clutch Monday in U.S. Junior Amateur qualifying at Cat Island Golf Club in Beaufort.
Patrick, who will play at Presbyterian College in the fall, shot 1-over 71 and won a four-way playoff for the fourth and final qualifying spot, outlasting a field of 84 golfers.
Carson Bertagnole shot 1-under 69 to earn medalist honors, edging fellow Pinehurst, N.C., resident Bizzell Pate and Greenville’s Luke Mosely by one shot.
The four golfers advance to the 2024 U.S. Junior Amateur at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., from July 22-27.
