The youngest person to win the PGA title for juniors is Alexis Thompson, causing the U.S. Women’s Amateur champion, Kimberly Kim, to step down.

Thompson, who is 12 years old, is from Coral Springs, Fla. She started off the day in a tie with Kim. Falling behind gave her the motivation to birdie four of five holes starting with the part-4 12th to gain momentum ahead of her competitor.

Finishing with a 2-under 69 and a 1-under 283 total, she became the youngest person to win the PGA junior championship. The Junior PGA Championship is one of the premier junior championships of the summer.

Congratulations goes to the youngest person to win the PGA title for juniors!
