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.

Result Description

Jeongeun Lee6 delivered a masterful performance on Sunday to capture the 2026 IOA Golf Classic, marking her first professional victory in nearly seven years. The strategic narrative was defined by Lee6’s "breakthrough" final round, where she carded a brilliant 6-under 65 to finish at 13-under par. The primary hurdle for the South Korean star was a mid-round wobble with bogeys on the 6th and 9th holes, but she regained her composure to pull away with a stunning eagle on the par-5 13th and a clutch birdie on the 18th.

Tactically, the day's most significant charge came from Jiwon Jeon, who fired a bogey-free 8-under 63 to vault into solo second place at 12-under. Despite Jeon’s pressure, Lee6’s precision with a full pitching wedge on the final hole to within two feet proved to be the winning stroke. Mariel Galdiano finished in solo third at 11-under, while the overnight co-leaders Haylee Harford Sanchez and Liqi Zeng struggled to match the championship pace, finishing in 11th and 18th respectively. The win propels Lee6 to the No. 1 spot in the Race for the Card standings, signaling a strong start to her quest to regain her LPGA Tour status.
