CARMEL, Ind. — Once the tears of joy started pouring from Niya Chebli’s eyes, there was no stopping them. And who could blame her?
Ninety-six players from nine states and Canada gathered Sunday at Crooked Stick Golf Club north of Indianapolis for the Drive, Chip and Putt regional qualifier, all hoping to be one of eight players who would advance to the National Finals at Augusta National Golf Club.
Chebli earned one of those spots by winning the Girls 14-15 division in her seventh attempt at the competition. The happy crying began when she was asked about what she would be most excited to see in Augusta next year.
“Everything,” said Chebli, of New Albany, Ohio.
There were other stories of redemption to be found around the property Sunday as the 13th edition of the event has created scores of veteran young golfers who try and try again to earn the coveted trip to Augusta National in April.

Graham Hammer won the Boys 12-13 division in his third trip to the regional. The Traverse City, Mich., native failed to advance the previous two years from Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., but the third time was the charm in Carmel, Ind.
“I can’t wait to see the (Augusta National) practice facility,” Hammer said.
Speaking of veterans, Girls 10-11 division winner Perri Harris of Bowling Green, Ky., will make her third trip to Augusta National. The granddaughter of former PGA Tour professional Kenny Perry said she mastered her nerves while getting out to a fast start to lead the driving competition and has a game plan for her National Finals return.
“Just have fun, soak in all the moments,” Harris said.

“Fun” was the operative word at Crooked Stick, and the course and host Indiana PGA section added local flair. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is some 18 miles south of the course and a racing theme greeted the field – from the checkered flags around the putting green to the bottle of milk awarded to each division winner.
“If you ever become a race car driver and win the Indianapolis 500, they’ll give you one of these,” Crooked Stick director of golf Tony Pancake told each winner.
That made for funny moments, like when Girls 7-9 winner Gianna Pope, of Dayton, Ohio, accepted the bottle and a framed scorecard after a medal was slipped over her head. It was a lot to carry.

The Drive, Chip and Putt has helped introduce thousands of young people to golf, encouraging them to learn the game and keep fun at the forefront. And if that just happens to lead to a trip to Augusta National, well, that goes to the top of the fun meter.
As Pope said, “10 out of 10.”
About the Finalists
Girls 7-9 winner Gianna Pope of Dayton, Ohio, set the tone for her day with a 36-point driving effort, tops in her age group, then tied for second in chipping. She had three drives between 170-180 yards and sank her first putt.
***
One of the youngest qualifiers, Boys 7-9 age group winner Luke Inomata of Westerville, Ohio, sounded wise beyond his years when asked about the most important part of the game.
“I think putting kind of decides what your game is going to be like,” he said.
Luke scored 40 points in putting and ended with a balanced scorecard to earn himself a spot in the National Finals.
***
When asked to name their favorite golfers, most competitors at Crooked Stick named Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler or Nelly Korda. But Perri Harris of Bowling Green, Ky., the winner of the Girls 10-11 division, named 66-year-old Kenny Perry.
Why?
“He’s my Grandpa.”
***
Cameron Hill of Toledo, Ohio, was victorious in his quest to reach the National Finals. He said chipping was his favorite skill and in winning the Boys 10-11 division, his 55-point chipping effort was 10 points better than the field.
***
Ayla Roberts of Owensboro, Ky., had a viral moment after taking the Girls 12-13 division. She poured over her head the bottle of milk awarded to all winners by the host Indiana PGA section in a nod to the Indianapolis 500. She won the chipping portion with 55 points and edged out her opponents with a two-point margin of victory.
***
Graham Hammer of Traverse City, Mich., lived up to his name in winning the Boys 12-13 division. He finished first in driving and chipping with 55-point efforts in each skill then ended with 50 points in putting for a dominant 160 total.
***
The best chipping effort of all eight divisions belonged to Girls 14-15 champion Niya Chebli of New Albany, Ohio, who earned 60 of the possible 75 points to win that skill. Her advice for great chipping?
“Tempo,” she said. “All I was focusing on was my tempo over those chips.”
***
Jackson Blanda, the Boys 14-15 winner from New Albany, Ohio, admitted to feeling nerves regarding the driving skill, which is the first part of the competition.
“Basically, you hit it in the grid or you don’t, and I feel like if I hit one drive out, it’s over,” he said.
Blanda finished third in his age group in driving before going on to win the chipping and putting skills.
