Neves posted an impressive **3-under-par 69**, punching her ticket to the **2025 U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship**. The qualifier featured a strong field of talented junior golfers from around the world, with only one qualifying spot and two alternate positions available. Neves started strong with an even-par 36 on the front nine, then surged ahead on the back nine with three birdies and no bogeys for a closing 33. Her consistent play and composure under pressure set her apart as she navigated the challenging layout from the USGA Blue – Girls Junior Qualifying tees (6,048 yards, Course Rating 74.7, Slope 130).  Her round was capped by a highlight-reel moment on the 18th hole: **with her ball resting on the right fringe of the green, Neves drained a dramatic 40-foot birdie putt**, sinking it straight into the hole to secure her 3-under score and the top spot on the leaderboard. Several players were in the mix for the two alternate spots, but after a six-hole playoff, **Evelynn Artieta** of Denham Springs earned **first alternate**, and **Maci Williams** of Brusly claimed **second alternate**. The **2025 U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship** will be held **July 14–19** at the **Atlanta Athletic Club’s Riverside Course** in **Johns Creek, Georgia**. The championship is among the most prestigious events in junior golf, showcasing the top female junior golfers from around the world. In the Boys’ Junior Amateur Qualifier, **three spots** were up for grabs, and **Daniel He** of Irvine, California, came out on top with a spectacular round of **7-under-par 65**. He recorded eight birdies and one lone bogey, shooting 33 on the front and 32 on the back. Close behind was **Tripp Depoy** of The Woodlands, Texas, who fired a solid **5-under-par 67** to comfortably claim the second qualifying spot. Depoy made five birdies on the day and played a steady, consistent round to secure his place in the championship field. The final spot came down to a playoff between three players tied at 4-under. **Ben Blanco** of Broussard, Louisiana, emerged victorious after **making par on the first playoff hole (No. 10)** to secure the third and final qualifying position with a round of **68**. Following the playoff, **Patrick Babb** of Mansfield, Texas, earned **first alternate** honors, and **Blake Brown** of Cypress, Texas, was named **second alternate**. All three qualifiers will advance to the **2025 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship**, which will be held **July 21–26** at **Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, Texas**. **About the LGA** The Louisiana Golf Association (LGA) is a mission-driven organization dedicated to unifying the golf community across Louisiana.
