After posting a first round 73, Jonathan Yaun came from behind to win by one stroke! Yaun closed his final round with an impressive 32 due to an eagle on hole number 12 and a birdie on hole number 18 to win. West Palm Beach resident, Jeffrey Cunningham, had a short putt on the final hole to force a play-off with Yaun but missed to finish tied for second with a final round 71. Hicks fell from first place with an even par second round to tie Cunningham in second place with a 141 total. The highlight of the day came from Johnny Tucker, of Jacksonville, who aced number three, for his first hole-in-one ever, on his way to a bogey-free 68. Tucker tied Leo (Shiryu) Oyo and Eric (Chun Yin) Yiu for fourth place with a 143 total. Yaun, of Minneola, earned his first FSGA victory with a four under-par two round total of 140 (73-67).
