@mallorypitts.golf is your 2026 @suggsinvitational CHAMPION! 🏆🎉🙌

All wins are earned in this game 💯 this one is incredibly special looking back and reflecting on the ups and downs I’ve watched her endure - the close calls, countless hours of hard work, FaceTime sessions, tears shed and that rules officials faulty stop watch 😂

Your @seaisland PDP team is so incredibly proud and happy for you MP!

@seaislandwomensamateur bound!

Congrats to @jp.spivey on his commitment to play @ukmensgolf @sec #gobigblue @ukcoachtodd is getting a good one!

Watching this young man develop into one of the best players in the country is a testament to his work ethic, character and dedication to his craft 💯 People don’t get to see the blood, sweat and tears - the process , only the result.

Excited to turn the page and start running that Wildcat Offense!

Nice work this afternoon from @jp.spivey 💪 Young man has a lot of tools at his disposal - big thanks to @tomhemmings89 behind the scenes keeping the horsepower high and the wheels gripping the turns!

For all the juniors out there training for high performance , make sure you’re earning the right to be training that way.

You can pour speed on top of dysfunction - but for how long…
