Junior Amateur Match Play (Boys 16-18)

Oceanside Country Club - Ormond Beach

July 18-21, 2016

 Boys 16-18 Champions

The Final match boiled down to Ryan Rozic, of Melbourne, and Connor Campbell, of Winter Garden. Rozic, number 13 seed, defeated Davis Hingtgen in the Semifinals, one-up, while Campbell earned a two and one victory over Linus Samuelsson to reach the Finals.

A back and forth match took place on the first nine holes of the Finals and the boys stood all square at the turn. The highlight of the front nine occurred when Ryan holed a chip shot for birdie on the fourth hole to match a birdie from Campbell!  Campbell saved par with a great up and down on the 10th hole to keep the match all square. Rozic broke through on the 11th hole with a birdie to go one-up. Campbell fired back on the par five 12th hole by hitting the green in two with a chance for eagle. Campbell barely missed his eagle putt and two putted for birdie. Rozic, who hit the green in regulation, sinks a birdie putt to keep his one-up lead alive. The match returned to all square when Campbell found the back of the cup on the 15th hole to beat Rozic with a birdie.

The match remained all square heading into the last hole. This will be the first time Campbell has had to play the 18th hole in match play, unlike Rozic who has had to play all 18 holes in each of his matches. Rozic proceeded to drive his ball into the hazard resulting in a drop. Campbell sat in the first cut of the rough and struck his second shot over the green. Rozic hit his fourth shot onto the green while Campbell aggressively chipped his third shot past the hole. Rozic putted first and just missed his long bogey putt. Campbell seized the open opportunity and with only needing two putts to win, sunk his 30 foot par putt to win one-up! Campbell won a Florida Junior Tour event in 2014 and now takes home a FSGA Championship victory!
