HJGT Results

The Girls 14–18 division at the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour’s North Georgia Holiday Junior Classic delivered a poised and commanding performance from Allison Maher, who took control of The Chimneys Golf Course and never let go. Maher posted rounds of 78–74 to finish at +8 (152), sealing an eight-shot victory and stamping herself as one of the most composed competitors of the entire weekend. Sunday is where champions separate themselves, and Maher did exactly that. Her final-round 74—one of the cleanest cards in the entire girls field—showcased her ability to navigate tight landing areas, hold firm greens, and convert key par saves when it mattered most. It was calm, clinical, and delivered with the maturity of a player far beyond her years. Kennedy Sparkman put up the closest challenge, grinding her way to 82–78 (160) for a runner-up finish. She battled through gusty winds and pressure-packed approaches to stay in striking distance, but Maher’s consistency proved unshakable. Behind them, Lisa Zhang (+23), Aynslee Terrell (+30), and Ella Robinson (+33) rounded out the top five in a division that demanded precision from start to finish. From the first tee shot to the final putt, Maher’s performance embodied what the HJGT is all about: elevated competition, rising talent, and young players stepping confidently into the spotlight. Her victory at The Chimneys was not just a win—it’s a statement heading into the winter stretch.

The Hurricane Junior Golf Tour returned to Eagle Creek Golf Club with a Girls 14–18 division that delivered a heavyweight battle from start to finish, and Myiah Davidson rose above the field with the poise of a seasoned champion. Her closing-round 73 (E) — the only even-par round of the entire division — propelled her to the top at +7 (153) and sealed a statement victory. Davidson set the tone early with disciplined ball-striking, but it was her Sunday performance that defined the weekend. Eagle Creek’s watery corridors and firm greens punished anything less than precision, yet she attacked flags with confidence, turning a tight leaderboard into her own runway down the stretch. Just behind her, Audrey Bai kept the pressure on with rounds of 76–79 to finish at +9 (155). Bai’s consistency on the par 5s kept her in striking distance, but Davidson’s flawless closing round proved too strong to reel in. China’s Xinyi “Bonnie” Wu delivered one of the cleanest ball-striking performances in the field, firing 80–76 to finish third at +10 (156). Her ability to recover from missed greens kept her in contention and showcased a complete, tournament-ready game. Rounding out the top five were Chloe Kang (+12) and Emma Sanabria (+13), both battling through a tightly packed leaderboard where every mistake mattered. From wire-to-wire poise to international depth, the Girls 14–18 field once again highlighted the competitive fire that defines the HJGT. Davidson’s closing round wasn’t just the best golf of the weekend — it was a statement that she’s ready for the next stage.

The Girls 14–18 field faced a demanding test at Lake Tansi, but Kamryn Renner of Greeneville, Tennessee rose above the challenges to capture the division title with a composed, resilient performance. Renner posted rounds of 84–80 to finish at +20, closing with one of the strongest second rounds in the entire girls’ field. Her improved Sunday play—highlighted by confident approaches and steady putting—allowed her to pull away for a well-earned victory. A tight battle unfolded behind her for runner-up honors as Bayley Dunn (Louisville, KY) and Reese Hukka (Clarkston, MI) both finished at +43, their mirrored rounds of 93–94 and 94–93 telling the story of a weekend where consistency mattered as much as scoring. Caroline Au (Ooltewah, TN) followed in fourth at +47, while Kalyn Watkins (Corbin, KY) rounded out the top five at +48 after grinding through two difficult days. Strong efforts from Kingsley Southard, Maggie Ward, and Miranda Hoeft completed a division that showed grit across a course that asked for it on nearly every hole.

At the Fort Myers Fall Junior Open, hosted by the HJGT at Cape Royal Golf Club, the Girls 14–18 field delivered one of the weekend’s most composed performances—led wire-to-wire by Kate Freshwater of Naples, FL, who claimed the title at +11 with rounds of 82–73. Freshwater’s closing 73 was among the sharpest rounds posted across any girls division on Sunday, highlighted by confident approaches on the Prince course and a poised finish that kept her comfortably ahead of the pack. Jade MacFarland of Bradenton, FL made a strong push of her own, settling into rhythm during a steady 78 in the final round to finish at +15, good for runner-up. Her consistency from tee to green allowed her to chip away at the deficit early before Freshwater’s surge on the back nine kept the lead intact. Magdalene Ford (St. Petersburg, FL) rounded out the top three at +17 after posting back-to-back solid rounds of 83–78, showcasing the kind of balanced game that kept her in the hunt throughout the weekend. Close behind was Adyson Ice of Parker, CO at +19, whose combination of length and resilience helped her navigate the shifting coastal winds. The middle of the leaderboard saw a tightly packed group, with Jocelyn Wintersteen, Erin Erol, and Giuliana Dickson each finding stretches of strong scoring on a course layout that demanded creativity around the greens. Dickson’s massive leap on Sunday—from 101 to a polished 78—was one of the division’s most impressive turnarounds. With Florida sunshine, swirling breezes, and a field full of emerging talent, the Girls 14–18 division once again delivered the competitive drama and rising-star storylines that define every HJGT stop.
