Lakewood Ranch rising junior Ramsey Touchberry had the highest finish among area golfers in the boys 16-18 year old division of the 58th Florida State Boys' Junior Championship at Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach on Thursday.
Touchberry rebounded from an opening 76 to post a 70 and 74 on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, to snag ninth place. His 220 total was 10 shots behind Winter Springs' Hank Lebioda, who won by four shots over Orlando's Ryan Stovash.
In the boys 13-15 division, Bradenton Christian golfer Philip Knowles tied for fifth with a 220 total. After a first-round 80, Knowles closed with two strong 70s to finish 10 shots Reunion's Andy Zhang.
