FRIPP ISLAND, S.C. — Nathaniel Miller of Arlington, Virginia, delivered a poised and resilient performance to win the Boys 12–13 division at +19, highlighted by a brilliant 75 on Sunday that stood out as one of the strongest rounds fired by any junior on the weekend.

The adjustments paid off immediately as Miller pulled away from the field during the final round to secure the championship.
Julius Krebs of Carrollton, Georgia, finished runner-up at +132, showing determination by grinding through two challenging rounds at Ocean Creek, a course that proved to be a stern test for all players, especially in the younger age groups.
Miller’s Sunday surge and ability to adapt to coastal conditions made his victory a defining moment in the weekend’s competition.
