CHAMPAIGN — For a long time, golfer Jay Scott was on the outside looking in at the Twin City Championship, which begins its 88th year today at Urbana Country Club.
Because the tournament is restricted to local residents, Scott, a native of Rantoul, first became eligible when he moved to Champaign five years ago. It was a unique incentive to make the move for the former Illini golfer, and winning last year’s tournament made the 20-minute migration to Champaign all the more worthwhile.
“Winning it last year was great, especially after growing up in this area,” Scott said.
