NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. – Mother Nature brought inclement weather to the game on Saturday at Sugar Mill Country Club and caused the FJT to be shortened to 18 holes. The players returned to the last hole played on Saturday to finish 18 holes on Sunday morning. Reggie Zhu and Madison Moman captured their third FJT victory of the year in red numbers on Sunday.
Boys (16-18)
Reggie Zhu started and finished his round with a birdie for a seven under-par 65 finish. Zhu, of Winter Garden, followed up a front nine three under-par 33 with a four under-par back nine score of 32. Nine birdies gave Zhu the three-stroke victory and his third FJT win of the year.
The top three finishers on the leaderboard were in red numbers. Jaime Yzaga posted all pars and four birdies for a round of 68 and second place finish in his first FJT. An exciting eagle on the first hole and a one under-par 71 finish for John Miniotas placed him in third.
Girls (16-18)
Madison Moman, of Palm Beach, captured her third FJT win of the year with an impressive two under-par 70. After a birdie on the third hole, Moman started the back nine with a bogey on the 10th hole. That bogey was immediately followed by a birdie on 11 and one more birdie on 16. Two nine-hole rounds of 35 secured the two-stroke victory for Moman.
Katelyn Huber and Ryleigh Knaub tied for second with even par rounds of 72. Huber, who captured a FJT win at the start of the year, finished strong to tie for second with a one under-par back nine. Knaub posted four birdies to finish at even par.
