The UCB Mountain Challenge will also include a match between top-ranked juniors Thai Kwiatkowski of Charlotte, and Korey Lovett of Brevard, and a doubles match between the Roddick and Courier and the winners of a local pro-am tournament. Roddick and Courier will host a gala dinner Friday evening, July 26, at Lonesome Valley’s Canyon Kitchen in Cashiers.
