"It was a lot of fun to compete against the Americans and play at such a great course,” said Singh. “It's a great concept that they've introduced and gives us a good chance to compare our games with the top golfers of America. It's been a really great experience and a lot of good memories from it."

Blades Brown, 16, of Nashville, Tenn., who recently made headlines for making the cut in the PGA TOUR’s Myrtle Beach Classic, played solidly all week, winning each of his matches, inclusive of a 3 and 2 singles win on Wednesday over Kayun Mudadana.

"It was a really good match,” said Mudadana. “It was really close until the last three holes. [Blades] is a really good player, and it was good to play with him and against these top players from the U.S."

"Playing with some of my best friends and representing my country is a dream come true,” said Brown.

Scartett Schremmer, 17, of Birmingham, Ala., Tyler Mawhinney, 16, of Fleming Island, Fla., Nikki Oh, 16, of Torrance, Calif., Tyler Watts, 16, of Huntsville, Ala., and Will Hartman, 17, of Marvin, N.C., all also swept their matches at SentryWorld, which was the site of the 2023 U.S. Senior Open and 2019 U.S. Girls’ Junior Championships. The final score was 19-5.

The U.S. National Junior Team consists of 18 players, ten girls and eight boys. The program’s elite juniors represent the first of three national teams to be formed, with an Amateur Team to be announced in 2025 followed by a Young Professional Team in 2026. Earlier this year, the USGA awarded more than 70 grants through the USNDP Grant Program, which assists talented golfers and their families with the financial resources needed to pursue a competitive path in the game.

The U.S. National Development Program and its grant program is supported by philanthropic giving and secured resources to fulfill the USGA’s commitment to providing pathways to elite levels of the game, regardless of financial considerations. For more information, visit usga.org/give_usndp.
