The championship matches of the Polo Golf Junior Classic have been set in both divisions.

Cory Whitsett of Houston, playing in his first AJGA event since the Thunderbird International Junior in May, defeated fellow Texan Jordan Spieth of Dallas, 2 and 1. Whitsett advanced to the finals and will face Oliver Schniederjans of Powder Springs, Ga., who won his match against Cameron Wilson of Rowayton, Conn., 3 and 2. Whitsett is looking for his first victory since winning the Rolex Tournament of Champions in 2008. Schniederjans goes into the final match having never won an AJGA event, with his best finish in 2009 being a second-place showing at The PING Invitational last month.

In the Girls Division, Rolex Junior Player of the Year Victoria Tanco of Bradenton, Fla., was victorious over Kelly Shon of Port Washington, N.Y., 5 and 3. Tanco advances to face Alexis Thompson of Coral Springs, Fla. Thompson defeated A.J. Newell of Tampa, Fla., 3 and 1. Tanco and Thompson have met in match play previously. During the 2008 U.S. Girls' Junior, Tanco lost to Thompson, 3 and 2, in the quarterfinals.

Championship matches will tee off at noon on the No. 1 tee of PGA National Resort & Spa's Champion Course.
