Junior Golf Boys 14-15 Division

CAPE CORAL, Fla. — The Boys 14–15 division at the 54-Hole Fort Myers Junior Open faced a rotating championship test across Cape Royal Golf Club’s King/Prince, King/Queen, and Prince/Queen combinations, where course management and adaptability proved decisive. Salem Al Abdallat of Jordan emerged as champion at 17-over-par 233, building his victory through early stability. Rounds of 76 and 73 positioned him atop the leaderboard after 36 holes. Though the final round produced an 84, the cushion established through two steady days held firm. Jack Sinnett of Missouri mounted a final-round charge with a closing 74 — the low round among the leaders on Sunday — to finish second at 239. His ability to rebound from a difficult middle round demonstrated resilience on a course rotation that punished inconsistency. Julian Bugara and Lucas Starr shared third at 240, each navigating fluctuating scoring conditions across three distinct routing setups. Aaron Che rounded out the top five at 241, remaining within striking distance throughout the championship. Cape Royal’s defining characteristic is decision-making under pressure. Water hazards frame key landing zones. Doglegs require precise positioning. Rotational course combinations altered sightlines and yardages daily, forcing competitors to recalibrate strategy round by round. The international presence remained a hallmark of the event, with competitors representing Jordan, Canada, and multiple U.S. states. The diversity of the field elevated the competitive environment and reinforced the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour’s global footprint. Over 54 holes, volatility surfaced quickly. The players who minimized compound mistakes and protected position separated themselves. The format once again validated its purpose — sustained performance over three days defines a champion. At Cape Royal Golf Club, the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour delivered another championship built on endurance and adaptability. Salem Al Abdallat set the early standard — and over three rotating layouts, it proved enough to secure the title.

CLAYTON, N.C. — The 54-Hole Raleigh Junior Open brought the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour to The Neuse Golf Club, a layout defined by narrow corridors, demanding carries, and penalty areas that require disciplined strategy from tee to green. In the Boys 14–15 division, Matthew Stephens of Virginia captured the title at 35-over-par 251, posting rounds of 84-88-79. After two challenging opening rounds, Stephens delivered the strongest finish of the division with a closing 79, demonstrating resilience on a course that punishes hesitation and rewards composure. The Neuse is not a venue that allows recovery through aggression. Water hazards frame multiple landing areas. Approach shots demand precise yardage control into guarded greens. Over 54 holes, the cumulative effect of course management becomes decisive. The championship format once again amplified the importance of sustained execution. Three rounds eliminated volatility and required mental endurance — particularly for the 14–15 division competing across consecutive days. Through shifting momentum and tightening scoring margins, Stephens’ final-round stability separated him from the field. At The Neuse Golf Club, the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour delivered another structured 54-hole championship environment — one that rewarded perseverance and composure over three demanding rounds.
