Eligibility for HJGT Boys 12-13 Division

Boys between the ages of 12 and 13 are eligible to participate in the HJGT Boys 12-13 division. A player’s age division is decided by his or her age during round two. A player is permitted to move up a division during the mid-season. For example, if a player is 13 and turns 14 during the middle of the season, he will play the remainder of the season in the age 14-15 division. Points do not roll over to another division. Players can earn points in two age divisions.

Heritage Isles Golf & Country Club
In a division where volatility often defines the leaderboard, Kairi Matsumoto brought steadiness. At Heritage Isles Golf & Country Club, the Funabashi, Japan native opened with a 75 and followed with a composed 74 to finish at +5 (149), capturing the Boys 12–13 title at the Tampa Bay Junior Open. Heritage Isles rewards discipline. Water guards key landing zones, and approach shots demand precise distance control into subtly contoured greens. For younger players, course management becomes the separator. Matsumoto managed it better than anyone. Jett Billy of Bradenton made the strongest push, closing with a 74 to secure solo second at +11 (155). Christian Lee finished third at +16 (160), while Ace Lowie placed fourth at +26 (170). The winning difference wasn’t a single stretch of birdies. It was consistency. Matsumoto avoided the big number that often appears on water-framed holes and kept momentum through both rounds. In a field that included international representation and cross-country travel, his ability to stay steady under tournament conditions proved decisive. At Heritage Isles, precision wins. This weekend, it belonged to Matsumoto.

Lonnie Poole Golf Course
At Lonnie Poole Golf Course, even the youngest division felt the weight of extra holes. Shane Stepnicka delivered when it mattered most. Stepnicka and Coleman Stanley finished tied at +28 (172), forcing a playoff to decide the Boys 12–13 title at the College Prep Event at NC State. Both players battled through two demanding rounds on a course that rarely yields easy scoring. Elevated greens, tightly mown runoff areas, and shifting wind conditions made distance control critical. Miss on the wrong tier, and recovery quickly became defensive. Stanley opened with an 83 before posting an 89 in Round 2. Stepnicka countered with rounds of 85-87, holding steady enough to match the clubhouse mark. That set the stage for sudden death. In the playoff, Stepnicka executed. One more hole. One composed swing. One decisive finish. Remington Faunce finished just one shot back at +29 (173), while Lee Phillips followed at +30. The leaderboard remained compressed at the top before widening as Lonnie Poole continued to challenge aggressive play. This wasn’t a scoring showcase. It was a composure test. At a collegiate venue designed to simulate next-level conditions, learning to manage pressure — and then winning in a playoff — carries weight. Stepnicka handled both. At NC State, that was enough.
