Girls 16-18 Division

Looking for her second Florida Junior Tour win in 2018, Lauren Clark, of Orlando, was a woman on a mission. Her opening round of 69 (-3) was the only red number on the girls leader board all weekend. Heading in to Sunday's final round, Clark held a four shot lead over Wyndom Burnett. Lauren would play her final nine holes in 1-under par as she locked in the win. Her six shot victory is the largest win in the ladies 16-18 division of the 2018 season. Tying for second place was Ariel Yu (76-74--150) & Wyndom Burnett (73-77--150). 

This was Lauren Clark's third Florida Junior Tour victory in the last eleven months. She is making her case to be one of the favorites at the year end FJT Tour Championship.
