Lowcountry Junior Open Crowns Fry, Semeraro, and Sanabria Champions at Hilton Head National

The Drip Golf Tour (DGT) hosted the Lowcountry Junior Open February 14–15, 2026, at Hilton Head National Golf Club, welcoming a strong field of junior golfers to one of the Lowcountry’s premier competitive venues.

Played over 36 holes, competitors faced cool coastal conditions and a championship course set up while demonstrating resilience, sportsmanship, and high-level shot-making throughout the weekend.

Noah Fry of Waxhaw, North Carolina, captured the High School Boys title with steady rounds of 75-75—150 to earn a one-shot victory. Fry’s consistency over two rounds proved decisive on Hilton Head National’s demanding layout. Sawyer Gentry of Livingston, Montana, finished runner-up at 75-76—151, while Jonathan Dewey of Charlotte, North Carolina (78-74—152) and Will Siravo of Marvin, North Carolina (74-78—152) shared third place after matching totals of 152.

Bluffton, South Carolina native Jack Semeraro used a strong final round to claim the Middle School Boys championship with rounds of 78-73—151. His closing 73 was the low round of the division and secured a six-shot victory. Stuart Gentry of Livingston, Montana, placed second at 79-78—157, and Cooper Scheurich of Leesburg, Virginia, finished third with rounds of 81-78—159.

John Sanabria of Greenville, South Carolina, set the tone early with a tournament-low 67 in the opening round and followed with a 76 to finish at 143 (+1), earning a five-shot victory in the Future Stars division. Preston Tolnar of Canfield, Ohio, finished second at 73-75—148, while Graham Satterly of Charlotte, North Carolina, secured third place with rounds of 74-79—153.

Hilton Head National Golf Club delivered a championship-caliber test with firm conditions and strategic demands, providing a true measure of course management and execution. The scenic Lowcountry setting and welcoming golf community created an outstanding atmosphere for players and families. The Lowcountry Junior Open also marked an exciting expansion for the Drip Golf Tour, spreading its reach into new areas while continuing its mission to provide professional-style competition and support the development journey of junior golfers.
