The competition, sponsored by RBC Bank and RBC Wealth Management, is being held to coincide with the PGA Championship which runs Monday through Sunday at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek.

The event concludes at noon as one boy and girl will attempt a 20-foot putt for a $10,000 scholarship. If they miss, they will still receive a $2,500 college scholarship.
