The inaugural Ace Cup Battle at the Beach Invitational brought together 12 nationally ranked junior girls June 3-5 for two days of friendly competition over 45 holes of golf at Kings Creek Country Club in Rehoboth Beach.

Sawyer Brockstedt, the daughter of tournament founders Kelly and Chase Brockstedt, chose the Alzheimer’s Association as beneficiary in honor of a grandparent for the first year of the tournament. 

Together, the players and tournament raised more than $66,000.
