  "account": "The 51st Palmetto Amateur golf tournament is set to take place at Palmetto Golf Club in September, featuring a talented field of 78 players. Several members of the Palmetto Golf Club have made appearances in past major tournaments, including U.S. Senior Amateur Champion Mike Sposa, who recently won the prestigious event. Other notable players include Sam Jackson, who has won consecutive South Carolina Amateur titles, and Brian Quackenbush, who reached the round of 16 in this year's U.S. Senior Amateur. The tournament moved to a fall date in 2025, resulting in a surge in applications with over 500 submissions, more than double the previous record. Co-chairman Brad Crain is excited about the increased interest and the presence of top mid-amateur and senior players, including Sposa.",
