On April 2, 2023, St. Joseph School 6th Grader, Leo Saito participated in the 2023 Drive, Chip and Putt Tournament at the Master's in Augusta, Georgia. This was his second consecutive year participating in the tournament. "I placed third last year.", said Leo. "My passion is golf. I have grown and learned a lot over the last year and I hope to do better this year."
Better, he did! Leo has been crowned the 2023 Drive, Chip and Putt National Champion in the 12 - 13 year old division.

Saito is thankful for "the support of family and friends and my coach and everyone in school. My teachers have been more than supportive and understanding when I am away in tournaments and missing school."
Great job Leo. Congratulations to you and your ʻohana. Keep up the good work.
You make St. Joseph proud!
