NORTH AUGUSTA – North Augusta’s McKenzie Talbert posted 74 to win the junior invitational at Mount Vintage Golf Club by one stroke Monday.

And that was in spite of lightning striking twice in the form of holes in one at the Carolinas/ Georgia Junior Championship.

North Augusta's Matthew NeSmith putts on No. 6 during the Carolinas/Georgia Junior Championship on Monday at Mount Vintage Plantation Golf Club.

Isabella Skinner aced the 170-yard, par-3 third hole, to rebound after an opening bogey. She finished her front nine at even-par after four pars, two bogeys and a birdie.

Then it happened again.

Skinner recorded her second ace on the 142-yard, par-3 11th hole.

“It’s insane,” said Skinner, of Cumming, Ga. “I’m in shock. It doesn’t feel real.”
