Honor Day at Palmetto Golf Club pays tribute to active duty military, veterans for their service
AIKEN — Honor. Service. Sacrifice.

Augusta native Vaughn Taylor earns PGA Tour Champions victory
PALM COAST — Let’s start with who didn’t win. It wasn’t Zach Johnson, and it wasn’t Stewart Cink or Steven Alker, either. Those three had won every tournament since late July, and 15 of the first 23 on this year’s PGA Tour Champions. In the end, none of them had a chance , and frankly, the winner didn’t have a ton of hope either after a bogey on the next-to-last hole. But Vaughn Taylor first took advantage of another golfer’s misfortune, and on the second playoff hole he leaked a 7-foot birdie putt over the left edge to beat Alex Cejka and win the Furyk & Friends at the Hammock Beach Ocean Course. "Making a winning putt is a heck of a feeling," Taylor said after the trophy presentation. For a golfer who was once a promising PGA Tour newcomer, and even a 2006 U.S. Ryder Cup team member, Sunday’s win was Taylor’s first victory anywhere since a one-shot win over Phil Mickelson at the 2016 Pebble Beach Pro-Am — the third of his three PGA Tour wins, which came 11 seasons after his second. Not to say it came totally out of nowhere, but Taylor’s rookie season on the

Poly Golfer Goes to Augusta National
Every year, approximately 14 million people tune in to The Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. To many, playing the course is a pipe dream that will most likely never come true. Golf Digest finds that only 0.01% of golfers will ever have the opportunity to tee up at Augusta National. Not only that, but even seeing the course is a rare opportunity in itself, since tickets to the tournament are drawn by lottery, with each person having a 0.5% chance of winning — a truly rare opportunity. For most of us, the closest we will ever get to feeling the grass at Amen Corner, one of Augusta’s most iconic landmarks, is from our couches. It thus goes without saying that Ava Chen ’32 accomplished a great feat when she not only played in, but won the annual Augusta National Drive, Chip and Put tournament, a tournament held at Augusta National the Sunday before the Masters featuring the Nation’s top 80 Junior Golfers.
