Two big golf events are happening this week in the Palmetto State and they will both include former Gamecock golfers. First, this week's Columbia Open, part of the eGolf Professional Tour, will feature George Bryan IV, Scott Feaster, Alex Hamilton, Mark Silvers III, and Paul Woodbury. The tournament runs Wednesday-Saturday. Every player in the field will play one round at Columbia Country Club and one round at Cobblestone Park during the first two days (alternating each day), and after the cut, the final two rounds will be held at Columbia Country Club. Tee times and pairings can be found at egolfprofessionaltour.com.
Former Gamecock Mark Anderson (left) will tee it up on the PGA Tour this week for the second time as a professional, playing for the third straight year in The Heritage, which begins Thursday at Harbour Town Golf Links at Hilton Head Island. He played The Heritage as an amateur in 2009 after winning the Players Amateur in the summer of 2008, then earned his way in as a professional last year and this year. Anderson currently ranks 54th on the Nationwide Tour official money list.
Good luck to all the Gamecocks competing this week!
