NAPLES, FL - The 2026 Brendan Cunningham Junior Open concluded today with standout performances and a heartfelt tribute to a cherished figure in South Florida golf. Held at The Rookery at Marco in Naples, Florida, the event welcomed 70 players. Kaden Latrielle of Naples captured the Boys 13–18 Division title with an impressive performance over 56 holes. Latrielle opened the championship with a 4-under-par 68, highlighted by five birdies. He caught fire in the final round, carding the tournament's low round of 6-under-par 66 to finish at 12-under for the championship and claim the overall title by five strokes. The victory marks Latrielle's first on South Florida PGA Junior Tour since joining the Medalist Tour in 2023. Henry Liebwein of Fort Myers finished runner-up in the Boys 13–18 Division at 7-under par for the championship. He climbed three spots on the leaderboard in the final round after firing a 5-under-par 67, then secured second place in a scorecard playoff decided by the scores on holes 10–18.. In the Girls 13–18 Division, Reese McMillan of Jupiter delivered a dominant performance from start to finish. McMillan took the first-round lead after opening with a 3-under-par 69 and never looked back. Her championship was highlighted by a bogey-free final round of 3-under par to secure the title. The victory marks McMillan's second South Florida PGA Junior Major title, with her first coming at the 41st Nicklaus Junior Championship in 2025 at The Bear's Club. Rain Jiang of Sarasota earned runner-up honors after finishing the championship at 4-over par. Formerly known as the South Florida Junior Open, the event was renamed in 2020 to honor Brendan Cunningham, a longtime supporter, dedicated volunteer, and true ambassador for junior golf in South Florida, who passed away in September of that year. In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the game, Cunningham received the 2016 South Florida PGA Distinguished Service Award and was inducted into the South Florida PGA Hall of Fame in 2018. Known for his charismatic personality, colorful socks, and welcoming smile, Brendan left a lasting impact on players, families, and staff. In his memory, participants and spectators wore green and their favorite socks throughout the week, a tradition that continues to celebrate his legacy and love for the game. Cameron Young–Justin Thomas South Florida PGA Junior Challenge Cup With his victory, Latrielle secured a spot in the inaugural Cameron Young–Justin Thomas South Florida PGA Junior Challenge Cup, to be contested December 12–14, 2026, at Emerald Dunes Club. The event will feature a 24-player Ryder Cup-style competition with Cameron Young and Justin Thomas serving as team captains. The South Florida PGA extends its sincere thanks to The Rookery at Marco and its staff for their outstanding hospitality and continued support of the South Florida PGA Junior Tour. The Brendan Cunningham Junior Open marked the fifth of nine Junior Majors on the 2026 South Florida PGA Junior Tour schedule. Up next is the SFPGA Junior Cup, scheduled for July 27–29 at BallenIsles Country Club (East Course). Event Leaderboard Event Photos

For South Florida PGA Junior Tour alumnus Harley Abrams, competitive golf did far more than provide memorable tournament experiences, it laid the foundation for a career in the industry. Today, Abrams works with some of the golf industry's most recognized brands, helping companies grow through sales, operations, e-commerce, and business development. Nearly every opportunity he's had can be traced back to the lessons, relationships, and experiences he gained through junior and collegiate golf. "A lot of it started from my junior golf career, which led me to being able to play college golf," Abrams said. "A lot of my connections came from my time playing golf in school."

The 36-hole championship featured 75 junior golfers competing across two divisions, with Klein and Koduru emerging as champions.

Klein also earned a spot in the 2026 National Junior PGA Championship with his victory. “I’m really excited. This was something I was looking forward to trying to qualify for this year. I’ve never been to Texas, so I’m excited to go there and see the course,” he said. The victory additionally secured Klein a place in the inaugural Cameron Young–Justin Thomas South Florida PGA Junior Challenge Cup. “When it was first announced, it sounded amazing, and hearing more about it as it gets closer is really exciting. It’s going to be great to see Cam Young and Justin Thomas out there, and from what I hear, it will be an incredible experience,” Klein added. Rhodenizer finished as the runner-up at 3-under par to earn the second qualifying position into the Junior PGA Championship. Girls 13-18 Division In the Girls 13-18 Division, Nirvika Koduru of Boca Raton opened the tournament with an even-par round, sitting one stroke behind first-round leader Jolie Pastorick of Sarasota. Koduru remained steady throughout the final round, posting a 1-over-par 73 to finish the championship at 1-over par and capture her first South Florida PGA Junior Major title. The victory adds to an impressive resume that includes fifteen top-10 finishes since joining the South Florida PGA Junior Tour in 2023. “I was really looking forward to playing here and qualifying. It was one of my goals this year, and I’m super excited that I made it!” said Koduru. Koduru's win also secured her place in the 2026 Junior PGA Championship. “I’m excited to go to Texas for that event. It was definitely a big goal for me, and I’m thrilled to have achieved it,” she said. In addition, Koduru qualified for the inaugural Cameron Young–Justin Thomas South Florida PGA Junior Challenge Cup. “I knew right away when I heard about this tournament at the start of the year that I wanted to qualify. After I learned that winning would secure my spot in Texas, I was even more motivated because playing with two amazing players is a dream for everyone. I can’t wait to be there for the Junior Challenge Cup,” she added. Yool Her of Pembroke Pines finished as the division runner-up to earn the second qualifying position into the Junior PGA Championship. Junior PGA Championship By virtue of their performances at Stonebridge Country Club, Klein and Koduru, along with runners-up Rhodenizer and Her, qualified for the 2026 Junior PGA Championship, scheduled for July 28-31 at the Fields Ranch East and West Courses in Frisco, Texas.
