Savannah's Kate Barber stayed hot in Florida, winning the Girls 12-13 age group at the Honda Junior Classic played January 2-3 on the Palmer Course at PGA National Resort & Spa.
Barber, an 8th grader at Hancock Day School, carded scores of 72-70 to finish 2-under par and three strokes clear of runner up Katelyn Huber from Gainseville, Fla. Barber was the only player to finish under par in the 36-hole event, and her final round score of 2-under par 70 was tied for the lowest round of the tournament.
The win at the Junior Honda Classic comes only a few weeks after Barber won the prestigious Doral-Publix Junior Golf Classic played at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami, Fla. In November, Barber finished T8 at the 2020 Notah Begay III National Championship with a 54-hole total score of 2-under par.
