2016 Drive, Chip & Putt

In what has quickly become a great kickoff to the Masters Tournament, today was the Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals at Augusta National.  Getting up on Sunday morning and watching these kids on the Golf Channel is so much fun, and I can only imagine that it is a dream come true for these kids and their families.

Here are the winners from 2016

Division Winner Points (D-C-P)
Boys 7-9  Stephen Robert Hernandez 25 (10-10-5)
Girls 7-9  Emerson Blair 24 (9-5-10)
Boys 10-11 Christian Kim 26 (9-9-8)
Girls 10-11 Alexa Pano 26 (10-9-7)
Boys 12-13 Ty Griggs 28 (10-9-9)
Girls 12-13 Kayla Sam 26 (10-9-7)
Boys 14-15  Michael Thorbjornsen 23 (9-10-4)
Girls 14-15 Alyssa Montgomery 26.5 (9-7.5-10)

Last year it appeared that chipping and putting were the keys to winning, but this year it seems all of the winners were strong drivers too.  Here are the winners from 2015.

Registration for 2017 Drive, Chip & Putt Championship

In the daily e-mail from GolfChannel.com, there was a link to register for the 2017 Drive, Chip & Putt Championship.  The national finals are held at Augusta National the Sunday prior to the Masters, and is a lot of fun to watch.

The 2017 Drive, Chip and Putt Championship is open to boys and girls ages 7-15. Boys and girls will compete in separate divisions in four age categories: 7-9 years old; 10-11 years old; 12-13 years old; and 14-15 years old.

These kids are really good.  Here are the 2016 Finalists that we will be seeing at this year’s tournament.

Here are the results from 2015 and here are some highlights from the past championships.
