“Tiger Woods was in tow as Charlie, a junior, shot a four-under-par 68 on Saturday at the Mission Inn Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills, and Benjamin scored a five-shot victory in the two-day event. The school won the state championship two years ago when Charlie was a freshman,” Golf Digest wrote.
“Woods, who has yet to make a choice for his college, tied First Academy senior Mingbo Jiang, a USC commit, for the day’s best score. It was Jiang who won the state individual title by three shots over Benjamin’s Andrew Tsar. Woods, 16, scored two under overall and tied for fourth.”

The granddaughter of President Trump finished at +18 over two days.
Still, she was grateful for the experience.
“What an incredible honor and opportunity to compete in my first LPGA Tour Event at @theannikalpga ! This week was an absolute dream come true. There are so many amazing people I want to thank for making it happen and for being so supportive. A huge thank you to the ,Doyle Family, @annikas59 , the entire staff at the Pelican Golf Club, Dan Towriss and his team at @gainbridgelife , and Tim Erensen and his team at @teamoutlyr .
