AUGUSTA, Ga. – At the Augusta, GA Junior Open, hosted by the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, hometown golfer Cooper Hawkins delivered under pressure, capturing the Boys 16–18 title with a steady even-par final round to finish at 1-under for the tournament.

A tightly packed group followed at +6, with Ethan Shenk (Augusta, GA), Haoran Zhang (Johns Creek, GA), and Briggs Winfree (Anchorage, AK) all claiming a share of fourth. Colton Johnson of Augusta secured seventh at +7, rounding out a strong showing for local players. International representation and geographic diversity highlighted the field, with competitors from England, Mexico, Costa Rica, and across the U.S. contributing to a deep leaderboard. Late surges from players like Nolan Henderson (+11) and Louis Pargeter (+13) added drama to the back nine, but Hawkins’ early control proved unshakable. With composed course management and steady execution, Cooper Hawkins earned a memorable victory on home turf, adding his name to the list of rising talents emerging from this year’s HJGT schedule.
