Just one stroke behind Celentano was Lisa Marie Rudometkin, of Wesley Chapel.

Chloe finished the event 78-76--154 to win by one stroke over Caroline Patterson, of Jupiter, and Lisa Marie Rudometkin.

Gabriel Hegerstrom, a first time Florida Junior Tour participant from Parkland, came back hot on Sunday, carding a 71 to shoot even par for the weekend and capture his first FJT victory by four strokes.
