Two junior golf teams based at Thanksgiving Point Golf Club in Lehi won their PGA Jr. League Regional Tournaments at the RedHawk Golf Course in Nampa, Idaho, from Sept. 25-27, according to a report by the Lehi Free Press. The victories allow both teams to advance to their respective PGA Jr. League Championships later this fall.
The TPoint Legends 13u All-Stars earned a return to the 13u PGA Jr. League Championship after winning their regional match 8.5-3.5 against Sleepy Ridge. The team, coached by Thanksgiving Point PGA General Manager Tele Wightman, will travel to Fields Ranch West in PGA Frisco, Texas, for the championship held Nov. 11-15.
This 13u roster includes Lehi residents Kington Finau, 12, and Logan Wilde, 13, along with Beckam Bourdos (13, Holladay), Isabella Brown (12, Saratoga Springs), Maliya Green (13, Highland), Brooks Miller (12, Bountiful), Dallin Pratt (13, Cedar Hills), and Rush Teshima (13, Orem).
In a separate event held that same weekend, the TPoint Legends 17u All-Stars also secured a national berth. After a 7-5 victory over the MSCC Atomic All-Stars in the championship match, the team will compete at the 17u PGA Jr. League Championship at Twin Warriors Golf Club in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico, from Oct. 22-25.
The 17u squad features several notable Utah high school golfers, including Pioneer sophomores Crue Harward, 15, and Jordan Ofahengaue, and Lone Peak's Blake Brown, 16. Other members include Drew Wilson (15, Sandy), Ryder Huish (16, Highland), Mack Herzog (16, West Haven), Jace Benson (16, Morgan), and Nicklaus Miller (14, Provo).
Tele Wightman, who coaches both junior teams, serves as the head girls golf coach at Lehi High School and is an assistant coach for the Pioneer boys. The 17u TPoint Legends previously finished as the runner-up at the 2024 17u PGA Jr. League Championship at Twin Warriors.
The 13u championship is scheduled for Nov. 11-15 in Texas, while the 17u championship is scheduled for Oct. 22-25 in New Mexico.
