Tournament rounds are being played on the Crooked Cat Course
Crooked Cat features significant elevation changes, rolling fairways and large, contoured greens. But with fewer trees, wider landing areas, native heather and mounding framing the fairways, Crooked Cat presents golfers more of a links-style look. It may well be the most naturally beautiful Orlando Florida golf course. The course’s open feel encourages golfers to grip it and rip it off the tee, and there is certainly more room for error and multiple options for playing a hole—both off the tee and into the greens.

The Florida Junior Tour headed to Orange County National for the first 54 hole major. This major included the boys 13-15 age division, the girls 16-18 and 13-15 age division. The weather was hot and the competition was even hotter.
The leader board was crowded in the 16-18 girls age division. After round one, Courtney Zeng, Emmy Martin, and Cynthia Navis were all tied for first shooting an even par 72. Courtney continued her consistent play during round two shooting another even par 72 and held a four-stroke lead over Athena Yang, Kendall Griffin, and Emmy Martin headed into the final round. During the final round, Courtney continued her strong play shooting a two-under 70 and a tournament total of 214 (-2) to take home the hardware. Athena Yang came in second shooting 74-74-71-219, and Kendall Griffin came in third shooting a 75-73-74-222.
