Central Florida Junior Open at Stonegate
Learn More
At Stonegate Golf Club at Solivita, the Boys 14-15 division at the Central Florida Junior Open turned into a test of composure and consistency more than anything flashy. The course made players work for every score, and across two rounds it became clear that the ones who stayed patient, limited mistakes, and managed the golf course properly were the ones who gave themselves a chance.
Neil Sullivan set the tone for the division and controlled the event from the top with rounds of 75 and 74 to finish at 5-over par. In a field where scoring was difficult to sustain, that steady two-day performance was the difference. He was the only player in the division to keep both rounds in the mid-70s, and that level of control gave him a comfortable winning margin. Taylor Ramos finished runner-up at 16-over, while Daniel Bessonov claimed third at 19-over, showing the kind of resilience this venue demanded over the full weekend.
What this division really showed was how Stonegate does not hand anything away. It forces junior players to stay locked in, recover from mistakes quickly, and keep grinding even when low numbers are hard to find. That is a good thing. Events like this help separate players who can stay mentally engaged from start to finish, and that is exactly the type of competitive environment the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour aims to provide.
For HJGT, this stop in Central Florida continued to deliver the kind of tournament setting that helps players grow. Stonegate Golf Club at Solivita gave the Boys 14-15 field a real challenge, and the result was a weekend where discipline, patience, and execution mattered on every hole.

Lake Worth Junior Open at Fountains
Learn More
The Boys 14-15 division at the Lake Worth Junior Open was another example of how The Fountains Country Club demanded consistency more than flash. Michael Skolnick put together the steadiest performance in the field, carding matching rounds of 79 to finish at 16-over and claim the title. On a weekend where low numbers were hard to come by, that kind of balance across both rounds was enough to create separation.
What won this division was control. Skolnick did not give the tournament away with a bad stretch, and that mattered on a course that clearly punished mistakes. Luke Langberg and Blake Waidlich tied for second at 21-over, both staying in the mix but unable to close the gap, while Lochlann Collins finished just one shot behind them in fourth at 22-over. The leaderboard stayed competitive, but the winner was the player who managed the course best from start to finish.
That is what made this division useful from a development standpoint. The Fountains forced players to stay patient and mentally engaged even when scoring was difficult, and that is a real tournament lesson. Younger players do not just need easy conditions to build confidence—they need venues that teach them how to compete when the round is not perfect.
For the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, that is exactly the kind of environment worth putting players in. The Lake Worth Junior Open gave the Boys 14-15 field a legitimate challenge, and Michael Skolnick’s even two-round effort proved to be the winning formula. It was another solid division on a golf course that made players earn everything.

Dallas Spring Junior Open at Watters Creek
Learn More
The Boys 14-15 division at the Dallas Spring Junior Open showed just how demanding Watters Creek played over the weekend. This was not about low scores or easy momentum. It was a grind, and Jack South handled that grind better than anyone, posting rounds of 86 and 99 to finish at 41-over and take the division title.
What stands out here is not the number itself, but what it says about the course setup and conditions. Watters Creek clearly made players work for every hole, and in divisions like this, the biggest challenge becomes staying mentally engaged when the round gets difficult. South did enough to stay in front from start to finish, while Zayne Rowley battled through two rounds to finish runner-up at 60-over.
For younger players, weekends like this still matter. They are not just learning how to score—they are learning how to compete, how to respond when things are not going their way, and how to finish the tournament no matter what the scorecard looks like. That kind of resilience is part of player development, and difficult events can teach that fast.
For the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, this division reinforced the value of real tournament golf. Watters Creek gave these players a legitimate challenge, and Jack South earned the win by managing it better over two days.

The Boys 14-15 division at the Laurel Hill Junior Open was another example of how Laurel Hill Golf Club rewards steady play and patience over two days. Ryan Totte delivered the most balanced performance in the field, posting rounds of 81 and 80 to finish at 19-over par and capture the division title.
Totte’s consistency was the deciding factor. While the course challenged players throughout the weekend, he managed to keep both rounds in a tight range, avoiding the kind of big numbers that could quickly derail a tournament. Ryan Depew made a strong move on Sunday with one of the better final rounds in the division, a 78, to finish runner-up at 23-over. Kyle Sherren secured third place at 26-over, just ahead of Hunter Raines who finished fourth at 27-over.
Behind the leaders, the field remained competitive with several players within striking distance heading into the final round. But Laurel Hill demanded discipline, and the players who stayed patient and limited mistakes were the ones who held their positions on the leaderboard.
For the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, the Boys 14-15 division showed exactly why Laurel Hill Golf Club continues to be a strong venue for junior competition. The course requires players to think their way around the layout, manage risk, and stay mentally focused over the entire event. Ryan Totte’s steady two-round effort proved to be the winning formula and earned him the championship at the Laurel Hill Junior Open.
