One of the youngest-ever champions, the 14-year-old shoots 14 under par to go wire-to-wire at Great Waters at Reynolds Lake Oconee

Jack Roberts of Saint Marys, GA fired 14-under-par 202 to claim the 49th Southern Junior Championship title. A rising high school freshman, Roberts led wire-to-wire. He finished his Final Round three-under 69 to claim victory.

“I think it’s pretty special,” Roberts said. “Especially since I’m one of the youngest players here. I'd like to thank my coach, my family, and my friends for coming out here to support me these past couple of days.”

At fourteen, Roberts is one of the youngest players in recent history to be crowned the Southern Junior Champion.

Ryan Davidson of Flowery Branch, GA posted a final six-under 66 to finish second. Overall, he carded 11-under-par 205.

”It feels awesome to be second place,” Davidson said. “Of course, I didn’t want to lose it, but I was hoping if I didn’t get first place that Jack would be the one to beat me, and he did. He’s a great player.”

Victory is one SWEET feeling!! Congratulations to our 49th Southern Junior Champion, Jack Roberts!!👏👏 Jack fired 3-under 69 today and 14-under 202 total, leading wire-to-wire!

The state of Georgia claimed the State Team Competition title with a total score of 554, claiming the top four spots in this year’s tournament.
