TO CONGRATULATE SCOTT ROHRER OF YORK COUNTY ON CAPTURING THE BRONZE MEDAL IN GOLF AT THE 2019 SPECIAL OLYMPICS WORLD GAMES ABU DHABI AND TO WISH HIM CONTINUED SUCCESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate were pleased and proud to learn that Scott Rohrer of York County took the bronze medal in golf at the 2019 Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi. Scott was one of 216 athletes that represented the United States at the competition held March 14-21, 2019, in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. An estimated 7,500 athletes from 176 nations competed in twenty-four sports; and

Whereas, with talents on the links that have taken him to great places, Scott has played at some of the best courses in the country, including TPC Potomac, Harbour Town, and many others. In 2016, he was invited to play alongside professional Aaron Baddeley in the Heritage Monday Pro-Am, held on Hilton Head Island. His favorite professional golfer is Jordan Spieth, whom he has met on several occasions; and

Whereas, further, Scott, who has participated in several Special Olympics World Games, set the low score record (66) at the 2015 World Games in Los Angeles. With admiration, the Senate adds its collective voice of praise to the many tributes flowing in to this fine athlete on his most recent achievement. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Scott Rohrer of York County on capturing the bronze medal in golf at the 2019 Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi and wish him continued success in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Scott Rohrer.
