The First Academy golfer Mingbo Jiang wins FSGA Junior Championship

The First Academy golfer Mingbo Jiang narrowly topped recent graduates Cameron Baez, from Windermere High, and Shawn Coultoff, from West Orange High, for the Florida State Golf Association 71st Boys’ Junior Championship at Streamsong Golf Resort.

Jiang, a rising senior for the Royals, finished with total score of 198 (-18) across the three-round, 54-hole event after a hot start, shooting a 63 (-9) in the first round. He held off both Baez and Coultoff — who tied for second place — by two strokes. 

The win means the TFA golfer punched his ticket to compete in the United States Golf Association’s Junior Amateur Championship from July 21 to 26 at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, Texas.
