Paired together in the final group, these three players battled it out in the final round on Sunday. Justin played steady all day long and failed to give back any shots to the field going on to win the event by 6 strokes!
Boys' 9-10 Division
Aaron DeWitt - 71-69--140 *Won in Playoff*
Aaron DeWitt, from Winter Haven, found himself trailing by one stroke heading into Sunday's final round after opening with a solid one under-par round of 71 on Saturday. Round one leader, Jack Roberts, didn't let off the breaks on Sunday and posted back-to-back rounds of two under-par, 70 making it extremely difficult for anyone in the field to reel him in. Aaron was up to the task on Sunday morning posting a three under-par, 69, to force a playoff with Jack as the two players found themselves seven strokes ahead of their nearest competitor. After hitting his approach shot on the first playoff hole, the par-5, 18th hole, Aaron found himself with about a 10 foot birdie putt to win the event. With a confident stroke and spectators holding their breath, DeWitt rolled in the birdie to take home his first FJT victory.
Girls' 11-12 Division
Ariana Carvalho - 81-79--160

Ariana was able to fend off Sarah to claim a one stroke victory thanks to the only score under 80 in the 11-12 girls' division all weekend.
Girls' 9-10 Division
