CGA Winners: The Carolinas Golf Association proved a fertile training ground for recent graduates of the PGA Tour Qualifying School as four former CGA champions earned their playing cards for 2012.

Brendon Todd of Raleigh and the University of Georgia set the pace with a 17-under-par 415 for the six rounds to earn medalist honors.

William McGirt of Fairmont and Wofford College, a three-time CGA champion, Tommy Biershank of Boiling Springs, S.C., a three-time CGA champion, and Mark Anderson of Beaufort, S.C., the 2009 CGA Player of the Year, also advanced.

Holliday Memorial: Jonathan Hardee of Greer, S.C., and Jessica Provasnik of Hinckley, Ohio, won the boys’ and girls’ titles, respectively, at the 43rd annual George Holliday Memorial Junior Golf Tournament held at the Myrtle Beach National courses Nov. 24-26.

Hardee, a 15-year-old sophomore at Riverside High School, opened the tournament with a 5-under-par 67 on National’s King’s North Course and followed with rounds of 70-73 for 210. That was three strokes better than the runner-up, 17-year-old Bryan Carter of Yorktown, Va.

Provasnik, a 16-year-old high school junior, claimed the girls’ title with a 4-over-par 220 that included an opening round of 70. Eden Howard of Lamar, S.C., was second, three shots back.

The Holliday Memorial is the third oldest junior tournament in South Carolina and has been named one of the top junior events in America.

The tournament is held in memory of George Judson Holliday III, of Galivants Ferry, S.C., a renowned ­junior and college player before dying in 1967 at the age of 22.
