| MAJOR Championship at The University of Florida |
| Men 16-19. Champion: Tae Wan Lee (middle) of SOUTH KOREA, 2013 |
| Sept 4 |
Gainesville, FL - Hot, humid conditions and close Division races were the stories of the weekend August 14-15,
2010 at the Mark Bostick Golf Course at The University of Florida. At one point, three on course playoffs to decide
first place were all on the golf course at the same time. And both AJGA Exemptions were determined by on
course playoffs. 82 competitors took on the UF golf course amidst temperatures in the low to mid 90's with heat
indexes climbing to 105. The winds stayed low, blowing at only 5-10mph all weekend, which made for ideal
scoring conditions. Competitors in the Men 13-19 and Women 13-19 Divisions were all vying for the AJGA
Tournament Exemption to be given to the lowest overall score of the Divisions. The course was soft, the weather
was warm, and the stakes were high, all of which made for an exciting tournament weekend.
In the Men's 16-19 Division, low scoring was necessary to contend. Tae Wan Lee of South Korea jumped out to
an early lead after a Saturday 66. Three strokes behind Lee after day one was Anthony Maccaglia of Tampa, FL.
Maccaglia's round of one under par 69 put him in the final group on Sunday along with hometown player Parker
Jones of Gainesville, FL. Jones recorded an even par 70 on day one. Sunday found Lee and Jones battling it out
for first place and the AJGA Exemption. Jones rallied from four strokes down with a four under par 66 to tie with
Lee after Lee posted an even par 70 for round 2. Maccaglia posted a 75. Jones and Lee went back the 18th hole
for a playoff to decide the winner. After both players made pars twice on hole 18, they went over to hole number 9
for the third playoff hole. Again both players made par and went back to the ninth tee for the fourth playoff hole.
After Lee tapped in for par, Jones had about four feet for par to extend the playoff to the fifth hole. The putt just
slipped by the hole however, and Lee was crowned Champion and given the AJGA Exemption as well.
Congratulations Tae Wan! Third place in the Division was awarded to Jacob Fleck of Dade City, FL after he beat
out Maccaglia in a chip and putt off for third place. Fleck posted rounds of 73-71.
Sam Horsfield of Davenport, FL recorded his 8th win of the season over the weekend at The University of
Florida. Horsfield shot a total of one over par 141 for the weekend (71-70) to take first place by four strokes.
Runner up in the Division went to Evan Byrd of Ocala, FL. Byrd finished four strokes behind Horsfield at five over
par 145. Tied for third place in the Division with identical scores of 74-72-146 were Philip Knowles of Parrish, FL
and Ryan Nicoll of Spring Hill, FL. Nicoll emerged victorious from the chip and putt off that ensued, and took
home the third place trophy.
The Women's College Division saw it's first event this past weeked at UF. The criteria for playing is that you
must be post high school and up to and including the age of 25. Amy West of Valrico, FL was awarded first
place after posting rounds of 73 and 77 for a total of 150. West just completed her freshman year at Daytona
State College. Mackenzie Puryear of Tampa, FL recorded rounds of 80 and 82 for a 162 total and a second
place finish. Third place was awarded to Stormy Staton of Southport, FL. Staton posted a 167 total.

rounds of 71 and 77. This is Hendee's first Premier win in 2010. Olivia Lynch of Naples, FL took home second
place after two consistent rounds of 76 and 78 for a 154 total. 2010 Women 16-19 Points Leader Brittany
Bradshaw of Tampa, FL finished in third place after recording a 84-80-164 total.
Erica Stoner of Ocala, FL dominated the Women's 13-15 Division in her first ever Premier start. Stoner
followed a Saturday 71 with a Sunday 77 to post an eight over par 148 total. Runner up in the Division was
awarded to current 2010 Women 13-15 Points Leader, Lauren Coe of Tarpon Springs, FL. Coe posted a 166
total. The third place prize went to Taylor Moody of Sunrise, FL after she posted a 169 total.
Women 16-19 Champion Laura Hendee and Women 13-15 Champion Erica Stoner both finished at the same
aggregate total of 148. The AJGA Exemption went to the overall 13-19 Division winner, and since there was a tie,
both Hendee and Stoner went back out to the 18th hole to decide who the overall Champion and AJGA
Exemption recipient was. After both players tied the first playoff hole, they went back to the 18th tee to play the
hole again. On the second playoff hole, both competitors missed the green on their approaches to the uphill par
4, 18th hole. Hendee was able to get her ball up and down while Stoner just missed her par putt. Premier would
like to congratulate Laura Hendee on winning the overall 13-19 Division Title and the AJGA Exemption!

Zagerman posted a three under par 69 on Saturday's round to grab a huge lead. Zagerman posted a 79 on
Sunday to give him a two day total of six over, 149. Nash Neptune of Rotonda West, FL took home second place
after rounds of 80 and 81. Third place went to Baylor Griffin of Tampa, FL. Griffin's two day total was 165.
The Boys 9-10 Division was the third and final Division that required an on course playoff to decide first place.

play. A multiple hole playoff was necessary, but Suber emerged victorious. Harrison Presta of St Augustine, FL
was awarded third place after posting a total of 165.
