Jack Leen and Olivia Hartman Crowned Champions at the 2026 SFPGA Junior Cup
Palm Beach Gardens, FL -
Jack Leen of Port Saint Lucie and Olivia Hartman of Palm Beach Gardens captured titles at the 2026 South Florida PGA Junior Cup played July 27-29 at BallenIsles Country Club on the East Course.
Boys 13–18 Division
After the first round, Henry Leibwein of Fort Myers led the Boys 13–18 Division, firing an impressive 4-under par, sitting one stroke ahead of Patrick Pinkney of Lauderhill, and three in front of Jack Leen of Port Saint Lucie. In round 2, Leen responded with a 4-under performance, surging to the top of the leaderboard among the 26 players who made the cut. Going into round three, Leen was leading by one shot over Leibwein, but a steady 1-over round led to Leen’s first-ever victory on the South Florida PGA Junior Tours. Through this victory, Leen also qualified for the Cameron Young and Justin Thomas South Florida PGA Junior Challenge Cup on December 12-14, 2026.
“I’ve been putting myself in good positions all summer,” Leen said. “The first day I’ll shoot a good round, and the second day I’ll blow up, so it’s nice to get the job done.”
Reid Korody of Jupiter and Brooks Hansen of Jupiter both finished the championship at 3-under-par. Korody's impressive 3-under performance over his final six holes earned him the tiebreaker for runner-up honors, while Hansen finished in third place. Leibwein claimed fourth at 2-under-par, followed by Matthew Stigliano of Palm Beach Gardens in fifth place at 1-over-par.
Girls 13–18 Division
In the Girls 13–18 Division, Mia Heuberger of Palm Beach Gardens held the first-round lead at even-par, one stroke ahead of Nicole Wu of Davie. After opening with a 2-over-par round, Rain Jiang of Sarasota surged into the lead with an even-par second round, taking a three-shot advantage into the final day among the nine players who made the cut.
Despite Jiang's lead entering the final round, Olivia Hartman of Palm Beach Gardens carded a tournament-low 1-under-par round to rally for the championship, earning her first South Florida PGA Medalist Tour victory since joining the tour in 2024.
“This win means a lot, especially knowing that I stuck to my game and all that the practice paid off,” Hartman said about her victory.
Finishing the event in second was Rain Jiang of Sarasota at 7-over. Stella Ronja Lind of Doral finished in third position at 8-over, while Nicole Wu of Davie and Petra Compton of Palmetto Bay finished tied for fourth place at 11-over to round out the top five.
The South Florida PGA Junior Cup is the sixth out of eight majors for the South Florida Junior PGA Tour. The action will continue at PGA National Resort for the next major: the Jim McLean Labor Day Classic, set for September 5–7, 2026, on the Champion and Fazio Courses.
