NFJG First Coast Junior Amateur - Rising Girls Winner

This tournament was the last of the Fall season and the last Web.com two-day tournament. We were hoping for good scores, but reality is that she never played these two courses, had no practice rounds, no caddie, so pretty much relying on all her skills to keep the ball in the fairway. The Lagoon course (5500 yards) and the longer Ocean course (6000 yards), these courses are known for narrow fairways and strong winds. AA said the wind just kept taking her ball where it was not intended! She did beat the rising girls competition for this tournament, but not very pretty. And she missed the Web.com championship by 50 points.

In the Elite Tour Girls 13-18 Division Gainesville’s young Katelyn Huber would come up short to win the tournament overall award, but her outstanding play would be the talk of the town as she took home the champions trophy with a second round score of seven over par 79, total 149.  In the overall Huber placed tied for fourth out of 65 eligible players. Ponte Vedra’s Reni Jancsik had a rough go of it during round one on the Lagoon Course shooting an uncharacteristic score of 84, but she showed her game with the girl’s low round of the day with a one over par 73 on the tough Ocean Course. Jancsik had six birdies on the round to counter a couple unfortunate double bogeys. Huber with the win will earn a fully paid exemption into the First Coast Women's Amateur.
In the Rising Tour Girls 13-18 Division Orange Parks Alyzabeth Morgan (85) would only have a two stroke cushion over St. Johns Shanya Arasu (87) going into the final round, but she would endure the longer and tougher Ocean Course to march on to a nine stroke victory to once again claim another major champion in North Florida Junior Golf. Shanya Arasu would skirt the late charge of Madelyn Campbell (who carded an unfortunate “15” at the par-5 3rd hole) to take home the Runner-up trophy.
