Boys 9-10

Two red numbers secured a first time victory for Graden Lomax, of Lutz! Lomax tied Jessy Huebner for the lead after round one scores of 71 (-1). Round two was Graden’s time to shine and he did not back down. Carding four birdies in his last seven holes, Graden finished with a three-under par 69 and two stroke victory. A four-under par total of 140 marks Graden’s first FSGA win since he started participating in 2017. Miles Russel, of Jacksonville Beach, overcame a first round 74, by posting six birdies in his final round, en route to a four-under par 68 and 142 (-2) second place finish. Huebner, of Port Saint Lucie, fell to third place after a second round of 73 for an even par 144 finish.

Impressive rounds propelled Phillip Dunham to first place at seven-under par 137.  Earning a wire-to-wire victory, Dunham, of Jacksonville, posted five birdies on his final nine holes of round one and a total of four birdies in round two for rounds of 68-69. Ocala Golf Club is Phillip’s second FJT win after his first win in 2018 at the Future’s Championship. Shawn Coultoff, of Winter Garden, and Nolan Harper, of Saint Augustine finished at four-under par 140 to tie for second place. Coultoff posted two under par rounds of 69-71 to finish in second place while Harper fired the tournament low round of 66 in round two to finish at 140.

Angela Wang, of Windermere, posted rounds of 78-82—160 to finish in second place by nine strokes. 

Girls 11-12

A playoff determined the first place winner after Katelyn Huber and Gianna Clemente tied at 139 (-5) after round two.  Huber, of Gainesville, seemed to prefer the back nine as she posted a total of seven birdies over two days on the final nine holes.  Rounds of 70-69 pushed Katelyn to the top. Clemente, of Estero, played strong with four birdies on the back nine of round one to finish with a 32 and 68 total. In her second round, Clemete turned at 34 to finish the last hole with a double-bogey and 71 final round. Katelyn and Gianna continued to a sudden death playoff to determine the winner.
