SPARTANBURG, SC (September 18, 2016) -- With a final round bogey-free 7-under 64 Trent Phillips finished atop the Bobby Chapman Junior leaderboard. Phillips finished 9-under and two-strokes in front of high school teammate Jacob Bridgeman at The Country Club of Spartanburg.
Philips, the 2016 South Carolina Junior champion, began his final round surge with a birdie on the opening hole and then continued his move with birdies Nos. 5 and 9. 3-under for the day but still trailing, Phillips dug deep on the back side by carding a birdie on the 11th and then three straight to close out his day and tournament.
Runner-up Jacob Bridgeman got off to as fast start on the frontside with four birdies, all in the last five holes, before faltering with an even-par inward nine.
Avery Price finished 6-under in third while Harrison Corbin, Austin Fulton and Nicolas Cassidy were forth at 5-under.
A total of 17 players finished 1-under or better.
