Auston Kim, of Saint Augustine, carded rounds of 73-70 to tie Miller for the lead. The duo entered a sudden death playoff where Miller sealed her victory on the first playoff hole, number 10, with a par! Auston Kim, previous FJT winner, finished second while 2017 Girls’ Junior Champion, Latanna Stone, rounded out the top three, one stroke behind, at 73-71—144.
