HERNANDO, Fla. - Noah Kent and Siuue Wu both earned a Florida Junior Tour victory Sunday, shooting 71 and 70, respectively, to close it out. It was Kent's first FJT victory and Wu's fourth FJT victory. Skyview at Terra Vista proved to be a tremendous test of the juniors, yielding only eleven rounds under par out of 154.
Boys (16-18)
Kent, of Naples, got off to a strong start in the tournament, firing a 2-under par 70 on Saturday. That round was good enough to put him in the final pairing, tied with Chase Carroll, of Jacksonville, who also shot 70 on Saturday. The two stood on the 16th tee tied. A bogey blemish from Carroll on the Par 3 16th was the difference. Kent finished Sunday's round with a 1-under 71, edging out Caroll, who shot an even-par 72, by one stroke.
Carter Dill, of Tampa, claimed third-place Sunday, posting rounds of 74-71 to finish 1-over for the tournament.
Girls (16-18)
Wu, of ChampionsGate, had a bogey-free round of 69 (-3) on Saturday. Entering the final round with a two shot lead, Wu carded five birdies on Sunday en route to her fourth win on the Florida Junior Tour since October, 2021. Her 2-under 70 gave her a cozy 5 stroke victory.
Haley Davis, an Ocala resident, posted rounds of 73-71, finishing in solo second at even-par for the tournament. In third place were Kelly Shanahan, Mi Li, and Skylee Shin, who all finished at 5-over for the tournament.
