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.
