Snoqualmie resident will compete in the female age 12-13 group.

Kelsey Maralack of Snoqualmie will be among 80 junior golfers representing 30 U.S. states and one Canadian province to compete in the fifth annual Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals on April 1 at Augusta National Golf Club. The event will take place five days prior to the Masters Tournament.

Maralack, whose home course is The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge, will compete in the female age 12-13 group. She was a 2014 national finalist.

At the national finals, one champion will be named from each age/gender division. Each finalist will be scored based on a 30-point system, offering the player with the longest drive 10 points, the player with the closest cumulative chips 10 points and the player with the nearest cumulative putts 10 points, in each separate skill. The highest total composite score will determine the winner.
