Southeast Florida Junior Open

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. – The Southeast Florida Junior Open, hosted by the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, brought two days of highly competitive golf to Indian Springs Country Club on November 15–16, 2025. Under warm South Florida skies and steady coastal winds, junior golfers from across the state — and around the world — showcased precision, poise, and resilience across all divisions in one of the final Southeast events of the fall schedule. In the Boys 16–18 Division, Jason Brockmann of Boca Raton delivered a wire-to-wire victory with an even-par 144 (72–72), using consistency and course management to stay in control of a deep field. Jan Vacha of Port St. Lucie applied pressure throughout but finished two shots back at 146, while Connor Ahlborg of Delray Beach closed strong to secure third at 149. Brockmann’s calm demeanor and ability to avoid mistakes on Indian Springs’ demanding layout set the tone for a standout win. The Boys 14–15 Division belonged to Carson Lowe of West Palm Beach, who posted 75–77 (152) to take the title at +8, separating himself with steady play and disciplined putting. William Bailine of Miami finished at 157, while Braden Adams of Palm Beach Gardens claimed third at 159. Lowe’s consistent tempo across 36 holes cemented his position atop a competitive Southeast group. One of the weekend’s most impressive performances came in the Boys 12–13 Division, where Gabriel Shabashkevich of Boca Raton fired a sensational 69 on Sunday to complete a 146 (77–69) finish at +2 — one of the best rounds recorded across all divisions. His ability to attack pins and maintain control down the stretch allowed him to pull away decisively from Saktinra Puspanathan of Port St. Lucie and the rest of the field. On the girls’ side, Anoushka Kannan of Bangalore, India, delivered another commanding showing, claiming the Girls 14–18 Division title with rounds of 73–75 (148) to finish at +4. Kannan’s polished ball-striking and clinical approach around the greens helped her build — and protect — a comfortable lead over Emily Kaulen of Port St. Lucie (160) and Tatyana Villegas of Miami (165). Her victory highlighted the global reach and high-level talent showcased on the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour. From Brockmann’s steady command to Shabashkevich’s Sunday surge and Kannan’s international dominance, the Southeast Florida Junior Open delivered a weekend filled with championship-level performances. Indian Springs Country Club once again proved to be an ideal test of skill and composure, closing out the fall stretch in the Southeast with a memorable display of junior golf excellence on the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour.
