HJGT Results

The Stoneybrook West Junior Open continued its reputation as a true early-season grinder as the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour challenged the Boys 14–15 division at Stoneybrook West Golf Club — a course that doesn’t overpower players, but steadily applies pressure until mistakes surface. Stoneybrook West rewards discipline. Tight driving windows, strategic bunkering, and greens that demand full commitment force players to think their way through every hole. It’s a venue that exposes impatience and rewards those willing to stay within their game plan, especially over a two-day championship format. At the top of the leaderboard, Brody Drewes of Clermont, Florida, delivered the most composed performance of the weekend. Rounds of 78 and 82 were enough to secure the division title at +16 (160), as Drewes managed the course with maturity and avoided the compounding mistakes that reshaped the leaderboard throughout the event. Behind him, Aiden Som of Reunion, Florida, finished second at +37 (181), while Clay Johnson of Liberty, Kentucky, rounded out the podium at +58 (202). Across the division, players were forced to navigate long stretches where pars mattered and recovery shots defined momentum. That’s exactly what makes Stoneybrook West a staple on the HJGT schedule. The course doesn’t reward flash — it rewards focus. And for the Boys 14–15 division, the weekend served as a valuable lesson in managing adversity, staying patient, and competing through challenging conditions. As the season moves forward, the Stoneybrook West Junior Open stands as a reminder of what HJGT events are designed to do: provide real tests, real pressure, and real opportunities for growth. At this venue, nothing is given — and every stroke has to be earned.

The 2026 Hurricane Cup continued to deliver championship-caliber drama as the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour put the Boys 14–15 division to the test at the iconic World Golf Village — a venue where patience, discipline, and composure define success. World Golf Village doesn’t offer shortcuts. Its expansive sightlines, demanding approach shots, and fast, undulating greens forced players to think their way through every round. Across two days, momentum shifted constantly, with conservative decisions often proving wiser than aggressive gambles. At the top of the leaderboard, Jonathan Dewey of Charlotte, North Carolina, delivered the most consistent performance of the championship. Rounds of 75 and 77 secured the title at +8 (152), as Dewey managed the course with maturity and avoided the big numbers that reshuffled the leaderboard throughout the weekend. On a layout where par was often a victory, his steady execution made the difference. Close behind, Anderson Narzisi of Sellersville, Pennsylvania, finished second at +11 (155), while Judd Fletcher of Moorestown, New Jersey, rounded out the top three at +12 (156). The margin separating the leaders remained razor thin, with a single swing frequently determining whether a player surged forward or slipped back. What stood out across the division was the grind. World Golf Village demanded emotional control as much as ball-striking. Players who chased pins were quickly punished, while those who trusted smart targets and stayed patient remained competitive deep into the final round. That’s exactly why the Hurricane Cup sits at the heart of the HJGT calendar. This is not a typical tournament stop — it’s a proving ground. National fields. Championship venues. Real pressure. The experience mirrors what players will face as competition intensifies at higher levels. When the final putts dropped, the takeaway was clear: at World Golf Village, talent alone isn’t enough. Execution under pressure wins championships. And for the Boys 14–15 division, the 2026 Hurricane Cup delivered a benchmark moment that will resonate well beyond the scorecard.

The Southeast Florida Kickoff continued to separate contenders from survivors as the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour tested the Boys 14–15 division at Sandridge Country Club, a venue that demands precision and patience long before it rewards aggression. Sandridge doesn’t overwhelm players with brute length — it challenges them with decision-making. Water lurks on nearly every hole, sightlines are tight, and approach shots must be placed with intention. For this division, the course became a lesson in restraint, forcing players to balance confidence with control across two demanding rounds. At the top of the leaderboard, George Hampel of Wayne, Pennsylvania, delivered the steadiest performance of the weekend. Rounds of 80 and 77 were enough to secure the title at +13 (157), as Hampel navigated the course with discipline and avoided the big numbers that reshaped the leaderboard throughout the event. Close behind, Luke Schneider of Larchmont, New York, surged with a strong closing 76 to finish second at +16 (160), applying pressure deep into the final round. Juan Diego Forero of Bogotá, Colombia, rounded out the top three at +24 (168), continuing the international presence that has become a hallmark of HJGT fields. As the rounds unfolded, Sandridge made its impact felt. Players who chased flags paid for it quickly, while those willing to take conservative lines stayed competitive. Momentum shifted hole by hole, reinforcing the reality that championship golf is often about minimizing mistakes rather than forcing opportunities. That’s exactly why the Southeast Florida Kickoff matters on the HJGT calendar. Events like this are designed to accelerate development — exposing players to real pressure, real consequences, and the mental grind of multi-round competition. By the time the final putts dropped, the takeaway was clear. Sandridge didn’t hand out wins — it demanded execution. And for the Boys 14–15 division, the lessons learned this weekend will carry forward as the season continues to build.

The Phoenix Junior Open continued to deliver a demanding early-season challenge as the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour welcomed a deep and diverse Boys 14–15 field to Ocotillo Golf Club, with play spanning the Oasis and Sky courses. Firm desert conditions, strategic water hazards, and fast greens ensured that every round required patience, discipline, and mature decision-making well beyond the players’ years. At the top of the leaderboard, Jack Brenning of Fountain Hills, Arizona, delivered a composed and efficient two-day performance. Opening with a 76 and backing it up with a steady 75, Brenning finished at +7 (151) to secure the title. His consistency tee to green and ability to avoid costly mistakes proved to be the difference on a layout that steadily wore down the field. Close behind, Caiden Rhine of Chandler, Arizona, put together a strong showing on familiar terrain, finishing second at +13 (157). Rhine’s resilience through the closing stretch kept pressure on the leader and highlighted the competitive edge required to contend at this level. The international presence once again stood out, with Tiger Song (Atascadero, China) finishing third at +14 (158) and Cheuk Lam Shih and Zhi Qian Zhang representing Shenzhen, China, further down the leaderboard. Their performances underscored the global reach of HJGT competition and the growing depth of junior golf talent worldwide. Players like Oliver Theel and Chico Duran rounded out the top five, navigating the same narrow margins that defined the event. Across the field, Ocotillo demanded precise iron play and smart course management, rewarding those who stayed committed to their game plans and penalizing impatience. More than just a two-round tournament, the Phoenix Junior Open served as a developmental benchmark for this age group. The experience mirrored higher-level competition — long days, shifting momentum, and the mental test of grinding out every stroke. For many in the Boys 14–15 division, the week at Ocotillo wasn’t just about the final scorecard, but about learning how to compete under pressure and build a foundation for the seasons ahead. As the calendar turns and the HJGT schedule accelerates, performances in Phoenix will stand as an early indicator of players ready to take the next step. The Phoenix Junior Open once again proved to be a stage where growth, resilience, and competitive maturity took center stage.
