The International Amateur wrapped up at Innisbrook Resort after 72 holes of elite competition, again delivering a world-class leaderboard in what was formerly known as the South Beach International Amateur (SBIA).

With a deep international field tested by the demands of Innisbrook’s famed Copperhead Course, the championship crowned a standout winner and featured contenders from across the globe in the final top positions.

Final Results

Jake Moffitt (United States) delivered a wire-to-wire caliber performance to capture the International Amateur title, finishing at 17-under-par (268) after four commanding rounds at Innisbrook Resort. Moffitt separated himself from the field with remarkable consistency, posting sub-70 scores in all four rounds and never allowing the championship to drift from his control.

His closing 5-under 66 punctuated a week defined by precision and composure, following earlier rounds of 68, 69, and 65 on the demanding Copperhead Course. On a layout known for punishing mistakes—particularly through the famed Snake Pit—Moffitt avoided costly errors while continuing to apply pressure, turning a competitive field into a comfortable margin of victory.

Yixiang Wang (China) finished second at 10-under-par (275) after remaining in contention throughout the week, while Ben Bolton (England) secured third at 7-under-par (278). Behind them, Cayse Morgan (United States) and a tie for fifth between Lev Grinberg (France) and William Lisle (Hong Kong) underscored the international depth of a championship ultimately defined by Moffitt’s sustained excellence from start to finish.
