Overview

  • Woods closed with a six-under 66 to finish the tournament at 15-under par and win by three strokes
  • He outpaced a field that included four of the AJGA’s top five ranked juniors, among them Miles Russell and Luke Colton
  • His final round featured eight birdies, two bogeys and four consecutive pars to seal the victory
  • The triumph grants him exemption from AJGA qualifiers for the rest of the season and is projected to propel him into the top 15 in the rankings
  • This breakthrough follows his failure to qualify for the US Open earlier in May, underscoring his growing mental toughness
