For the second year in a row, standout junior golfer Miles Russell leads the South Beach International Amateur at Miami Beach Golf Club and Normandy Shores Golf Course in Miami, Fla.

Now, he is leading the prestigious amateur event by three shots at 18-under behind rounds of 63-68-63. Lev Grinberg of Ukraine is in solo second place at 15-under. Henry Guan is in solo third place at 14-under and is four shots back of Russell.
Russell has recorded 20 birdies and two bogeys in the championship.
Alex Heffner, Cooper Claycomb, and Jack Schoenberger are T4 at 11-under to round out the top five.
