AUGUSTA, Ga. — It’s the 10th year for the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals at Augusta National Golf Club. It’s become the main event on the Sunday after the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and before Masters week gets into full swing.
There are 80 golfers from 31 states represented with girls and boys ages 7 to 15 in four divisions each. The competition tests skills in driving accuracy, chipping and putting. The driving and chipping challenges are held at the Tournament Practice Facility with the putting part of the contest on the 18th green.
Kipp Madison of Evans took the boys 12-13 division Sunday at Augusta National Golf Club, becoming the first local player to win an age group.
The 13-year-old lives just 15 minutes down the road from Augusta National, something not lost on him as he had to go all the way to Nashville to qualify for the DCP National Finals.
