Reunion Junior Open presented by GEICO
REUNION, Fla. – The Reunion Junior Open presented by GEICO, hosted by the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, delivered one of the most electric and internationally diverse weekends of the fall season as players from across the United States and more than a dozen countries battled the Championship layout at Reunion Resort on November 15–16, 2025. Perfect weather, firm greens, and a deep field set the stage for standout performances across every division — including some of the lowest rounds recorded all fall on the HJGT.
The Boys 16–18 Division was dominated by Emiliano Delsol of San Luis PotosÃ, Mexico, who put together a masterful two-day performance of 68–69 (137) to finish at seven under par. Delsol controlled the leaderboard from start to finish, combining precise iron play with a confident putter to produce one of the most complete victories of the season. Jose Carlos Lopez-Lay of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, finished runner-up at 142, and Guilherme Yoshikawa of Brazil took third at 143, rounding out a global top three that showcased the tour’s international depth.
The Boys 14–15 Division delivered the weekend’s most dramatic finish, as Drew Brink of Winter Springs, Florida, Theodoros Kalionchiz of Monclova, Mexico, and Jason Zhai of Mississauga, Canada, all finished tied at 155 (+11) to force a three-way playoff. After two days of razor-close scoring, Kalionchiz emerged victorious in extra holes, displaying impressive composure to secure the title over two equally poised challengers.
In the Boys 12–13 Division, Neil Sullivan of Simsbury, Connecticut, delivered a wire-to-wire win with rounds of 73–74 (147) to finish at +3. Sullivan’s control of Reunion’s tight landing areas and quick greens allowed him to maintain a comfortable margin over Bentley McNamara of Ontario and Hayden Hogg of Illinois, who finished second and third respectively.
The Boys 10–11 Division showcased another standout performance as Mack Wong of St. Petersburg, Florida, closed with an impressive 74 to take the title at 154 (+10). His second-round surge was one of the strongest scoring efforts among the younger age groups and highlighted his growing maturity on championship-level layouts.
On the girls’ side, Anna Bell of Poplar Bluff, Missouri, delivered the performance of the entire tournament — and one of the best of the fall season — firing a spectacular seven-under 65 on Sunday to win the Girls 14–18 Division at 141 (-3). Her final round stood as the lowest score recorded across all divisions at Reunion and powered her to a four-shot victory over Isabel Knickle. Bell’s display of precision and control made her one of the weekend’s undeniable stars.
In the Girls U13 Division, Avery Huls of Tampa, Florida, secured the title with a steady 187 (+43) after rounds of 94 and 93. Huls’ consistency and ability to settle in under tournament pressure underscored the growth and competitive promise found in the tour’s youngest division.
From Delsol’s dominant ball-striking to Kalionchiz’s playoff poise, Sullivan’s control, Wong’s Sunday surge, and Bell’s historic 65, the Reunion Junior Open presented by GEICO delivered a weekend of elite performances that showcased the depth, diversity, and rising talent that define the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour. Reunion Resort once again proved to be a championship stage — and the players rose to meet it.
