Boys' 16-18 Division
Laurent Desmarchais posted an opening 70 (-2) to lead local favorite Arden Brake (-1) by one stroke following Round 1. Starting Round 2 two pairings ahead of the leaders, and 4 strokes behind, Genki Sadato put together a round with five birdies (2, 4, 8, 12 & 15) with three bogeys including the 18th, to post 70 (-2) and and even par total for the event. No players in the final two groups were able to match his total. Overnight leader Desmarchais would finish 2nd, one stroke back. A trio of players (Arden Brake, Stewart Slayden, & Dragon Theam) finished third, two stroke behind at 146 (+2)
Girls' 13-15 Division
Ramya Meenakshisundaram earned her first FJT victory in March of 2017 at Amelia National, and posted numerous top finishes since. This weekend she left no doubt, putting herself in the winners circle again, going wire-to-wire with rounds of 74-70--144 (E) en route to a three stroke victory over Jinyu Wu, 75-72--147 (+3). Tiara Carter, 75-76--151 (+7) finished alone in third.
