Miles Russell just keeps winning.
The 16-year-old phenom from Jacksonville Beach, Florida, captured the prestigious Junior Invitational at Sage Valley on Saturday in Graniteville, South Carolina. The victory marked Russell’s fourth straight against junior competition.
He’s also won in four out of his past five amateur starts, including the South Beach International Amateur. He was third at the Jones Cup during that stretch and hasn’t finished outside the top 10 in a non-pro tournament since last summer’s AJGA Junior Players, where he tied for 16th.
Russell began the final round at Sage Valley trailing leader Joshua Bai, a Florida signee from New Zealand, by four shots.
