Boys' Division

After an exciting opening round which saw seven players in red numbers, the stage was set for a very competitive final day. Eighteen holes later and a winner had not been determined. First round leader Aaron Du opened up with a 69 and fired a final round 72 (3-under 141). He was caught by two other competitors. Frankie Harris (70-71--141) and Allan Kournikova (74-67--141) who sat five shots back after round one, but his tournament low 67 on the final day was good enough for him to join the play-off. All three players would tie the first three play-off holes. On the fourth, Frankie Harris would make double bogey which would end his chances. Allan & Aaron would each par the fifth play-off hole. On the sixth, it would be Allan Kournikova who would prevail with a par. This marks the longest play-off of the FJT season and the first win for Allan. 

Girls' Division

The ladies division was very compact after round one. Kayla Holden led the way with a one-under par 71 as seven players were within three strokes. Kayla would falter on the final day with a final round of 78. Of all of the girls closely chasing after day one, experience would prove to be the deciding factor. Ariel Yu and her five previous FJT victories could not be stopped. She would make it six with a tournament low in the girls division of 2-under par 70.
