Savannah holds off late charge to win Citrus Golf Trail Invitational

Savannah De Bock closed out a three-shot win in Sebring, finishing as the only player under par for the week

Savannah De Bock built a big lead early in the week—and then showed she had enough poise to close it out when the pressure arrived.

The Belgian, a junior at Eastern Michigan University, posted rounds of 74-68-69-75 to win the Citrus Golf Trail Ladies Invitational at 2-under 286, finishing three shots clear of Alyssa Zhang of Pennsylvania (74-73-72-70).

De Bock started the final round with a six-shot cushion at 5-under and looked firmly in control, but Zhang made a late push from well back, firing the low round of the day with a 2-under 70. De Bock wasn’t at her sharpest Sunday and signed for a 75, but the work she did over the first three rounds proved decisive, leaving her plenty of room to steady herself and finish the job.

Michelle Lu placed third at 3-over 291 (73-73-71-74).

The win is the latest milestone for De Bock, who won the 2022 European Ladies Amateur and represented Europe at the Junior Solheim Cup in 2021 and 2023. She has played 17 ranked events in 2025 with one victory and three other top-10 finishes, including a T5 at the Golfweek Red Sky Classic in September.

Formerly known as the Harder Hall Invitational, the four-day, no-cut event moved in 2021 to a rotation of courses on the Citrus Golf Trail in Sebring, Florida. Among a field of 63 ranked amateurs, De Bock was the only player to finish the week under par.
