ASHLAND, KY. — Jeffrey Meade of Ashland, Ky., won his local tournament, the Natural Resource Partners Bluegrass Junior, by one stroke Friday, holding off a surging Chandler Morgan of Lexington, Ky., in the process. In the Girls Division, Haylee Harford of Leavittsburg, Ohio, took the lead on the front nine and held on to claim a one-stroke victory.

Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Natural Resource Partners Bluegrass Junior was a 54-hole stroke play competition played on the par-70, Bellefonte Country Club course. The event featured 108 boys and 36 girls, ages 12-18, from 24 states and two countries. The Boys Division played the course at 6,014 yards while the Girls Division played the course at 5,618 yards.

Meade traded birdies and bogeys all throughout the front nine, turning at an even-par 35. He birdied both the par-5 10th and the par-4 17th hole. A bogey on the final hole of the tournament didn't set him back, however, and he clinched the Natural Resource Partners Bluegrass Junior title, held on his home course.

“[Winning at Bellefonte] means everything,” said Meade. I've dreamt about it since I started playing out here. I've seen all the big names out here playing and it's one of the biggest tournaments in the country. Being able to win it my last time around is really special to me, I'm going to remember it for the rest of my life.”

Morgan finished second, one stroke behind Meade, with a 2-under-par 208 for the tournament while Fred Allen Meyer of Nicholasville, Ky., took third after finishing 1-over at 211. Rosemont, Pa.'s Cole Berman, who qualified for the Natural Resource Partners Bluegrass Junior via the TaylorMade-adidas Qualifier June 11, finished fourth with a 2-over-par 212, while Billy Tom Sargent of Georgetown, Ky. rounded out the top five with a 4-over-par 215.

In the Girls Division, Harford eliminated a two-stroke deficit on the front nine, making the turn at even-par 35. She ended up carding a 3-over 73 for the entire tournament, giving her an overall score of 224 and 14-over-par. Harford had to wait for the final group of girls to finish play, but came out ahead of everyone else in the end.

“It feels great to win. It's my second year playing here and it feels good to come back and do much better than I did last year. I've been practicing hard for this, so to win it is a great opportunity and experience,” said Harford.

Elsewhere on the girls' leaderboard, Sarah Hasselman of Honolulu, Hawaii took second place, carding an overall score of 15-over-par 225. Haley Mills of Tyler, Texas, and Katie Page of Louisville, Ky., tied for third with a 16-over-par 226.
