Junior 6’s Welcomes aboard Adidas Golf as Tournament format goes from strength to strength

6th Mar, 2020

In 2020, the Junior 6s Tour sees the largest, and most exciting pathway for junior golfers ever created in the Southern Hemisphere.

Male and female golfers will be competing against one another in a nationwide, season-long, ‘Race to Cronulla’ to determine the series champion.

The first event will be played on Sunday, August 30, at Emerald Lakes Golf Club in Queensland.

Once again, multiple professional tournament exemptions will be up for grabs, including an exciting overseas playing opportunity.

We welcome on board Adidas Golf as the Major Naming Rights tournament sponsor – competitors will enjoy the benefits of this partnership, with the Series Champion to receive an Adidas Golf scholarship, along with an exciting Hole-In-One prize up for grabs at the National Final.

Last year’s male champion, Hayden Hopewell, is already making his presence felt in professional tournaments on Australian soil, and the Junior 6s Tour is proud to boast the highest quality field for both genders in Australian Junior golf.

As we get set for the 2020 staging, we must also thank Golf Genius, Golf NSW, PGA of Australia, as well as all the host venues, for their continued support.

Inaugural winners crowned at the Junior 6’s

8th Oct, 2019

Lightning strikes twice as Hopewell & Ji Claim 6’s Crowns.

It was like lightning striking in the same place as Western Australian Hayden Hopewell and local Belinda Ji claimed the inaugural Invitation 6’s at Cronulla Golf Club this afternoon.

And like the literal bolt which brought a temporary halt to proceedings midway through the afternoon, it was the twin victories over the reigning Australian Boys and Girls champions, Elvis Smylie and Hye Park, in the finals that thrilled the crowd on hand to watch.

The stage was set as soon as the matchplay rounds began with Jacob Dundas, the 8th seed taking out the boys top seed Jeffrey Guan in a sudden-death thriller to blow wide open the top half of the draw.

It opened up the door for Hopewell who accounted for the plucky Novocastrian in the semi-finals, with a 3 /2 win.

Smylie, the second seed, accounted for both Blake Phillips and Tyler Duncan comfortably to reach the final and was looking to many as the man to beat.

It was all Hopewell in the final however, and the Western Australian young gun jumped got off to a flying start with wins on the first two holes.

Falling behind early was always going to be a tough ask for Smylie to overcome, and when his Western Australian opponent made a clutch birdie on the par-five (16th) to go dormie, it was as good as over.

A concession on the penultimate hole was all Hopewell needed, and the title was his.

Hopewell was an excited young man after the final and described the result as the biggest win of his career.

“My game plan for the super 6’s was to go for everything, don’t hold back and have no regrets,” the 17-year-old said.

“It paid off. I ended up being nine under for the 15 holes.

“This win is definitely up there. I won the Jack Newton (International) last year. I’m proud to be the inaugural winner.”

Alongside the Boy’s Champion crown Hopewell has also guaranteed himself a start in the AVJennings NSW Open next month as well as a start in the Gippsland 6’s.

Inaugural Norm Porter Memorial Champions

“It should be awesome to play, I can’t wait,” Hopewell beamed.

The girl’s matchplay section came down to the top two seeds in the final, Queensland-based Korean Hye Park, the NSW and Australian Girls Champion, and Concord’s Belinda Ji.

Park looked to be cruising to the crown, holding a one-up lead with three holes to play.

Sadly, a lost ball on the par 5 (16th) seemed to rattle the talented 15-year-old. An errant tee shot on the penultimate hole led to a second conceded hole and all of a sudden it was Ji in the box seat with just the par-three last to play.

Ji showed how strong a competitor she is under pressure, hitting her tee shot to just under 4 metres on the last, to heap more pressure on Park.

Park responded, also knocking her tee shot in close. Sadly, She couldn’t convert the putt, leaving Ji two putts for the title, which was all she needed.

Ji was equally as thrilled with her win as Hopewell.

“it’s an amazing win for me.

“I haven’t really played anything like this before, so it feels special to win.”

Asked about the sudden turn around in the match over the last couple of holes and how she handled the situation, Ji admitted all she could do was stay patient and hope.

“I had been playing pretty well all day, So I knew I might get my chance, and I was just going to have to stay patient.”

The win also secured Ji a place in the 2020 Women’s NSW Open at Dubbo Golf Club.

Competing against some of the game best female professionals is familiar turf for Ji, She qualified for her first Women’s NSW Open as a 12-year-old, and during the 2018 Australian Ladies Classic – Bonville recorded a hole-in-one on the 17th hole in the first round.

“I’m looking forward to playing against the professionals again. It’s great to be able to see how you can play against them; it’s a great experience,” she smiled.

Junior 6s tour Official Tournament Press Release

9th Sep, 2019

The official launch of the 2019 Junior 6s Tour tournament took place on Monday 9th September at the picturesque Cronulla Golf Club in Sydney. The tournament is Australia’s newest, and most exciting Junior Golf Event to be held on (October 7th & 8th). Both JNJG & Golf NSW have officially partnered with the event and see this as a great promotion for Australian Junior Golf.

Whilst the field is limited to 36 boys and 36 girls, the quality of the field will rival any other junior tournament held in Australia. Current Australian Junior Champions, Elvis Smylie and Hye Park, will be showcasing their talents, as well as several other leading junior golfers from around the nation, including local NSW favourite Harrison Crowe & one of Queensland’s brightest female junior talents Cassie Porter.

The players will all be vying for the multiple PGA Tour of Australasia, and ALPG Tour exemptions on offer for the champions. This unique format will see competitors play 36 holes Strokeplay (18 holes Monday & 18 holes Tuesday) with the Top 8 boys & Top 8 girls moving on to 6’s matchplay on the Tuesday afternoon – a hybrid of the Victorian Open format and World Super 6 Perth.

Ewan Porter, former local junior and PGA Tour player-turned broadcaster, and the man behind the Junior 6s Tour concept, assisted with the official Tournament launch along with several key Industry representatives.

“It takes a lot more than a single person’s aspirations to create any golf tournament, let alone the unique nature of the Junior 6s Tour. The support shown from all of our Industry & corporate partners has ensured that we have built a foundation from which the potential for this tournament knows no bounds.” Porter says.
