Boone and Lee Etch Their Names Into FSGA History
STREAMSONG, Fla. – After three days of intense competition at Streamsong Golf Resort, with 90 of Florida’s best junior golfers battling through heat, pressure, and three separate weather delays, two players emerged at the top: Ana Boone and Iris Lee.
66th Girls’ Junior Championship
The leaderboard remained tightly packed through the opening two rounds of the Girls’ Junior Championship. The course played tough on day one, challenging much of the field, but a more forgiving setup on day two opened the door for lower scores, and several players capitalized.
After posting a 1-over 73 in the opening round, Ana Boone stormed back with a second-round 67 (-5), placing her just one shot off the lead heading into the final day. During the final round, she wasted no time making her move, carding an eagle on the par-5 second hole and adding a birdie on the fourth. That momentum carried throughout the round, as Boone stayed in control from start to finish.
Krishny Elwin, who began the day atop the leaderboard, played steadily until a costly double bogey on the 14th hole dropped her back to 3-under. Meanwhile, Iris Lee was quietly mounting a charge. Back-to-back birdies on the 15th and 16th, followed by another on 18, gave her a 2-under 69 and brought her to 6-under for the championship.
Boone, playing in the group behind, sat at 8-under as she approached the final hole. A bogey on 18 proved inconsequential — she had already built a comfortable cushion to clinch the title on Streamsong Red’s 18th green, a fitting conclusion on a course rich with personal history.
In 2024, Boone narrowly lost in the final match of the Girls’ Junior on the very same course. This year, she returned with purpose, and left with redemption.
With the win, Boone has cemented her name into Florida golf history and punched her golden ticket into the 76th U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek, Georgia.
Iris Lee captured a second-place finish overall, which secured her the 13-15 Division title. Lee posted rounds of 70-71-69--210 at just 12 years old. Rounding out the top three was a tie between Ayana Hiranaka and Krishny Elwin, both finishing at 4-under total.
