LILLINGTON, N.C. — The College Prep Series at Campbell University once again lived up to its reputation as one of the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour’s most competitive and developmental stops, offering players a true collegiate-style test across the Orange and Black nines at Keith Hills Golf Course. Firm greens, demanding approach angles, and constant decision-making separated the field over two pressure-filled days as juniors from across the U.S. and around the globe battled for Campbell University honors. In the Boys 16–18 division, Charlie Leichtweis delivered the weekend’s defining performance. The Charlotte native fired a blistering 5-under final round to surge to 1-under overall, the only player to finish red-figure for the tournament. His ball-striking and control under pressure set a standard that resonated throughout the event, capturing the attention of college-level coaches and establishing him as a rising force on tour. Canada’s Abhay Minhas made a valiant run of his own, finishing second at +3, with Chet Kight rounding out the podium at +6. The Boys 14–15 division featured a commanding wire-to-wire win by Enzo Ord, who leaned on mature course management to finish at +10. Though Keith Hills pressed this age group from every direction, Ord’s steady play allowed him to separate decisively from Canadian runner-up Aiden Tong Lu and a deeper field trying to stay in striking distance. The Boys 12–13 division showcased grit from Shane Stepnicka, who finished at +22 to earn a hard-fought victory. His ability to navigate the trickiest scoring holes with discipline highlighted a young competitor quickly developing the traits needed for higher-level events. Vancouver’s Tristan Cui took second after continuing to battle through Sunday’s tightening conditions. A strong showing came in the Boys 10–11 field, where Rafael Dagenais of Quebec captured the title at +12 with a composed +8 closing round. He handled the nuances of the Orange/Black setup with confidence, pulling away from the field and reinforcing his trajectory as a promising emerging talent. On the girls’ side, Rikki Liu delivered a clutch performance to win the Girls 14–18 division at +21. The Vancouver standout closed with a sharp +5 round, edging out fellow Canadian Avva Nguyen by a single shot. Their duel brought welcome intensity to the final stretch, as both players demonstrated poise, patience, and shot-making that mirrored the collegiate environment the event is designed to emulate. Across every age group, the College Prep Series at Campbell University continued its tradition of preparing junior golfers for the next level — not only in competition, but in course preparation, mental management, and pressure execution.
