Crowning a Champion at ChampionsGate
This weekend the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour traveled to Kissimmee, Florida to take on ChampionsGate International Course. It was a beautiful weekend as the golfers were able to handle the tough challenges the course had to offer. Thank you to ChampionsGate for allowing the HJGT to host this event at their wonderful course. The Boys 16-18 age division was in play this weekend as Junior Golf Scoreboard and Golfweek rankings and AJGA PBE Stars were on the line. The top ten finishers in each division will receive points towards the Hurricane Cup. Additionally, the top three finishers get an automatic bid to the 2017 HJGT National Championship.

The champion in this division was Ignacio Arcaya, out of Orlando, FL. Ignacio won in a playoff, with a two day total of 148. Putting up a great fight and coming in at second was Peter Hinnant of Winston-Salem, NC. Peter shot a 148 for the event as well. The third place finisher was Alex Lee of Orlando, FL. Alex finished one off of the pace with a 149. Some scoring leaders for the event include Grant Engle and Kason Partridge, who each led the field with 6 birdies.
