Description

The final round of the 2026 IOA Golf Classic at Alaqua Country Club marks the conclusion of the second event on the Epson Tour's Florida swing. The strategic narrative for Sunday centers on the chase for Australian Jennifer Elliott, who carved out a two-shot lead at 9-under par. The primary hurdle for the field is the relentless precision required on Alaqua's back nine; while the par-5 10th and 13th holes offer vital scoring opportunities, the tight corridors and overhanging oaks punish any over-aggression.

The headline story remains the professional ascent of 17-year-old Gianna Clemente. Sitting just two strokes back at 7-under, the rookie phenom is looking to become one of the youngest winners in tour history. Tactically, the final grouping—featuring Elliott, Clemente, and the hard-charging Roberta Liti—will need to navigate the small, firm greens with extreme care. With $30,000 and 500 "Race for the Card" points on the line, the final 18 holes are expected to be a psychological battle of patience versus the desire to attack tucked pins.
