Turner Triumphant at Streamsong

July 13, 2020

STREAMSONG, Fla. – The Black Course at Streamsong Resort proved to be a tough test, but it was Jack Turner who was crowned the 13-15 champion at the 66th Boys’ Junior Amateur Championship on Monday. Turner fired a 12-under 207 to capture the 11-shot victory and his first FSGA championship.  

“It mean a lot, “Turner said. “I’ve been playing well over the last few tournaments, so to finally come out on top means a lot.”

After posting back-to-back rounds of 70 in the first two rounds, he began the final round with a four-shot lead over the field. Turner, who started the day on the 12th hole, got off to a quick start with a birdie on the 14th. The Orlando native posted bogey-free front nine, adding a birdie on the first hole.

Turner kept up the strong play on his second nine. He birdied back-to-back holes on the fourth and fifth. He carded his only bogey of the day on the seventh, but quickly rebounded with two-straight birdies.

“My putting was definitely the strongest part of my game, especially on these greens," Turner said. "You can hit a lot of greens out here and still shoot over-par. My speed control and my short putts were really solid this week. I think that is what helped me get the win.”

He finished the day with a birdie on the 10th to secure the 11-shot victory, the largest margin of victory in the 13-15 Division in FSGA history. His final-round 67 was also the low round of the championship, while he was the only player in the field to shoot three under-par rounds.

Danny Erickson took home a second-place finish with a 1-under 218. Starting the day in a tie for fourth place, Erickson carded an even-par 73 in the final round to move a couple of spot up the leaderboard.

Turner and Erickson were the only two players to post under-par rounds for the championship.

Chase Carroll and Carson Brewer finished in a tie for third at even-par 219. Carroll finished the championship with a final-round 74, while Brewer carded a final-round 75.
