AUGUSTA, Ga. — Eighty boys and girls in eight divisions competed in the 2021 Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals at Augusta National Golf Club.

The event was canceled in 2020 over COVID concerns, but on Sunday, last year’s qualifiers finally had the opportunity to compete.

The championship is broken down into boys and girls divisions and four age groups (7-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15) within each division.

Scoring is based on a 30-point system. Players receive up to 10 points each for the best drives, closest chips and nearest putts, with the highest composite score defining the overall winner in each age group.

To get to the finals, top-three finishers in local qualifiers moved on to subregional qualifiers and then to regional play.

Finalists: Boys 7-9 | 10-11 | 12-13 | 14-15
Finalists: Girls 7-9 | 10-11 | 12-13 | 14-15
