For the first time in FSGA history, both the Boys' and Girls' Junior Championships took place at the same venue—one of the best in the state: Streamsong Golf Resort. For a championship of this caliber, it was only fitting that it be held on not just one, but all three courses at Streamsong. As we saw throughout the week, the competition lived up to the expectations set by the venue.
Streamsong is a golfer’s paradise and a golf architect’s playground. First opening in 2013 with the Red and Blue courses, designed by Coore & Crenshaw and Tom Doak, respectively, Streamsong quickly gained global recognition as one of America’s premier golf resorts. In 2017, a third course, Streamsong Black, designed by Gil Hanse, was added to complete a trifecta of world-class layouts. Today, all three courses are ranked among Florida’s top 15 by Golf Digest. Together, they would serve as a formidable test for the state’s top 258 junior golfers, with the girls' competition held on the Red course and the boys' on the Blue and Black courses.
Despite the intense competition looming the next day, players still found time to enjoy themselves at the resort. After completing their practice rounds, they participated in the first-ever Junior Championship putting contest, where the scores turned out to be a bit higher than expected…
Players caught fire during round one of the championship, and not because of the heat outside. On the boys' side, Mingbo Jiang fired a scorching 63 (-9) to take a two-shot lead over future FSU Seminole Shawn Coultoff. The girls' side proved more challenging but still produced low scores. Evyn Cannon and Sofia Rivera carded matching 69s (-3) to share the lead on a tightly packed leaderboard, with strong contenders like Leah Gram just one shot back.
Players carried their momentum into the second round of action. Clark Mason took early control of the boys' leaderboard, capitalizing on his power off the tee to shoot a 65 (-7) and claim the clubhouse lead. William Lisle also had his sights set on victory, and despite an hour-long weather delay, his momentum never faltered, making birdie immediately after play resumed to tie Mason for the lead.
On the girls' side, Krishney Elwin dominated the leaderboard, making clutch birdies on holes 16 and 17 to post a 66 (-5) and take a one-shot lead into the final round. Close behind was Ana Boone, who carded a 67 (-4) to sit just one stroke back. The final round was poised to deliver plenty of excitement.
With a packed final-round leaderboard, players had to contend not only with each other but with the weather as well. Competitors on both the boys' and girls' sides got off to aggressive starts, with Clark Mason and Iris Lee emerging as early leaders. However, lightning in the area forced a two-and-a-half-hour delay, bringing players back into the clubhouse.
Just before the weather delay, Mingbo Jiang found himself in a three-way tie for the lead with William Lisle and Clark Mason. After all three players birdied the 14th hole, Jiang pulled ahead with another birdie on 15. From there, he remained steady and composed through the final three holes. With his opponents faltering with bogeys, a clutch two-putt on the 18th green sealed the victory for Jiang.
On the girls' side, Ana Boone, who started the day just one shot off the lead, did not let the delay disrupt her rhythm. She fired a 32 (-4) on the front nine to build a comfortable lead that she never let up on. A birdie on the 16th all but secured her win, rendering a closing bogey on the 18th inconsequential. After falling short in the final match of the 2024 Girls’ Junior Match Play at Streamsong, Boone returned this year with purpose and left as champion.
Despite narrowly missing out on the overall championship, William Lisle still earned top honors in the Boys’ 13–15 Division, finishing at an impressive 16-under for the tournament. On the girls’ side, Iris Lee also claimed second place overall with a score of 6-under, securing the Girls’ 13–15 Division title, at just 12 years old.
We extend our sincere thanks to Streamsong Golf Resort for their outstanding service and hospitality throughout the week. The golf courses were in exceptional condition, as always, and we are especially grateful to the Streamsong grounds and agronomy teams for their tireless work in creating the best possible experience for our staff and players.
