Michael Jorski plays his golf out of the Cog Hill Golf & Country Club. But for Jorski this is his second trip to Augusta for Drive-Chip and Putt. Because Jorski qualified in 2018 while his family still lived in Kansas. So he does know what competing at Augusta National is like.

Eloise Fetzer (L) of La Grange will compete in the Girls (7-9) year old age group. Ledius Felipe from Popular Grove heads to Augusta and is in the Boys (10-11) age group.
But recorded interviews with Eloise and Ledius are not available due to a technical difficulty*** GOG regrets the situation.
Eloise Fetzer makes her first trip to Augusta, after advancing through the Broken Arrow GC local qualifier, the Sub-Regional at Royal Fox CC and the Regional Qualifier at the Medinah Country Club. She finished first at all three qualifiers. Fetzer plays her golf at the La Grange Country Club. Eloise says she is best at Chipping.
Ledius Felipe makes his first trip to Augusta. Felipe was third at the Beloit Club in Wisconsin. But he was first at the Sub-Regional at the Legend at Bergamont, and First at Medinah in the Regional Qualifier. Ledius says he plays most of his golf at Aldeen Golf Club in Rockford, and putting is his best strength.
LISA COPELAND was not able to attend media day. Because Copeland is being home schooled so she could work on her game this past winter in Florida. Because this is her second trip to Augusta she knows what it’s like at Augusta. But she last competed in 2017. Lisa says her chipping is the best part of her game.
THE Drive-Chip and Putt finals are Sunday morning at the Augusta National Golf Club, but will be shown on The Golf Channel.
