FJT LPGA Open (9-12)

LPGA International - Jones Course - Daytona Beach, FL

August 7-8, 2021


DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Lucas Gimenez, Carson Perry and Angelina Pacheco would become FJT LPGA Open Champions on Sunday at LPGA International. Gimenez won with a 1-under 143 in the Boys (11-12) Division, Perry’s 1-over 145 was enough in the Boys (9-10) Division, and Angelina Pacheco was victorious with an even par 144 in the Girls (11-12) Division.

Boys (11-12) 

Steady rounds of 1-under 71 by Lucas Gimenez and Chase Bauer were enough to find them atop the Boys (11-12) division by one shot over a multitude of opponents within striking distance. Both players used their three birdies to combat only two bogeys on day one to navigate through LPGA’s Jones course.

On day two Tyler Lilienfeld surged his way to the top of the leaderboard at the turn thanks to six birdies in his first eight holes on his way to an opening nine 31. Chase Bauer would continue his steady play on the opening nine posting even par at the turn to hold a share of the lead with Lilienfeld with nine holes to play. 

Mid-way through the back nine Shayaan Kim would continue his climb up the leaderboard. With 5 birdies through 14 holes he would find himself tied with Gimenez and Lilienfeld with four holes to play. 

However, the overnight co-leader Lucas Gimenez would not be outdone. A clutch birdie on 15 would see him take a lead that he would not relinquish. Gimenez’s rounds of 71-70 would be enough to be crowned the champion. Kim and Lilienfeld would finish in a tie for second with rounds of 74-68 and 76-66, respectively.

Boys (9-10)

In the Boys (9-10) division Carson Perry had an opening round of 2-over 74 to lead by six shots after the first round. Steady play on the back nine would be the key to Perry’s success as his sole bogey would be matched by one birdie on the par-4 12th. 

Carson would get off to a shaky start by bogeying the first hole of Round 2 but would get it right back by making birdies at both the 2nd and 4th holes. The Port Orange native would card one more birdie and bogey each on his final nine which would be more than enough to take home the Boys (9-10) division. Perry’s rounds of 74-71 would give him a 16 shot victory over Cyrus Joseph who carded 81-80 on the weekend. Carlos Andres Dugarte Hurt would finish third with 80-84.

Girls (11-12)

Sofia Rivera's three birdies were enough to find her one shot ahead of Angelina Pacheco in the Girls (11-12) division after the pair shot 75 and 76, respectively. Asked about her round, Sofia said the key was her “driver was in play all round” which allowed her the opportunity to make 3 birdies while keeping the big numbers off the scorecard. 

On Sunday, Angelina Pacheco would make her move. A bogey-free 33 on the front nine would allow the Orlando native to surpass Rivera and boast a three shot lead heading into the final nine. Krishny Elwin would also find herself in the hunt after a 2-under 34 on the opening nine holes.

Pacheco kept the momentum going with birdies on the 10th and 12th holes. She would take a lead that she would not relinquish. Pacheco’s 76-68 was enough for a four shot victory in the Girls (11-12) division. Sofia Rivera’s 75-73 would find her in second place while Elwin would finish in third with rounds of 78-71.

Five FJT Standards

Competing at beautiful clubs around the state is a privilege and it is important for all of our players and parents to place value on the following five duties:

  • Say please and thank you to the club staff and our volunteers
  • Rake bunkers
  • Fix ball marks
  • Step on/repair your divots
  • Throw away your garbage! There should never be trash on the ground anywhere on the course (place trash in waste receptacles, golf carts or even your bag if no other place is available).

Showing Appreciation and Proper Manners - At all courses where juniors play, they should show appreciation to the members and staff. To all of our junior players, let's show the clubs that you are not only the most talented golfers in the country, but also the most respectful. A "thank you" to the club and taking care of the course are the best ways to make a positive impression on the club, fellow players, coaches and spectators.

How to Enter

Entries are submitted through the FSGA website. To enter, each player must create an FSGA account on this website (free to set-up), purchase a current Junior Membership ($40), and have an active Florida GHIN Handicap (included in membership if golfer does not already have one). To proceed, click the "Enter" button above once entries have opened.

Late Entry Fee: A late fee of $10 will be applied to entries submitted after the close of entries date. The entry fee and late fee will only be applied if the player gets accepted in to the tournament field.

Practice rounds are available one week prior to the tournament on a space-available basis. Tee times are only available after 12:00 noon the weekend prior.  The price for a practice round is $35.00 + tax. Please call (386) 274-5742 to arrange your practice round. Only one child may ride in a cart with an adult. If you have multiple children you must have multiple adults to drive golf carts for them, otherwise they will need to walk.
