HJGT Results

The Girls U13 division at the Central Florida Junior Open showed exactly what junior tournament golf is supposed to do—challenge young players, test their resilience, and give them a real stage to compete. At Stonegate Golf Club at Solivita, Madeline Raun handled that test best, putting together rounds of 90 and 88 to finish at 34-over par and earn the division title. Raun’s consistency across both rounds was the difference. On a course that made scoring difficult throughout the weekend, she stayed steady enough to separate herself and close out the win by five shots over Noelle Wood, who finished runner-up at 39-over. For this age group, that matters. These events are not just about the final number—they are about learning how to compete over multiple days, respond to adversity, and keep battling on a course that asks for patience and focus. Stonegate proved to be a valuable venue for that kind of development. It required discipline from every division, and the Girls U13 players were no exception. The course made them think, stay composed, and continue working through each hole, which is exactly the type of experience that helps young players grow. For the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, that is the bigger win. Providing younger players with structured, meaningful competition on quality courses is a critical part of development, and the Central Florida Junior Open delivered that. Madeline Raun’s performance gave the division a deserving champion and closed out another solid HJGT weekend at Stonegate.
