Austin’s Dylan Knox overcame a five-shot final-round deficit to win the Boys Division at the Hannon-Fields Junior Invitational, finishing at 5-under 137 over two rounds at the University of Texas Golf Club.

Knox, a 2028 graduate who recently committed to Arkansas, battled hot and windy conditions to secure his first Legends Junior Tour victory of 2026 after recording two top-10 finishes earlier this season.

Henry Talarico, JP Lynch, Hakon Hundhausen and Tripp Depoy shared second place, one shot back at 4-under 138.

In the Boys 14-and-Under Division, Austin’s Beckett McLaughlin closed with a 3-under 68 to also finish at 5-under 137 and claim his fifth Legends Junior Tour victory of the season. Mason Hwang of Houston was runner-up at 1-under 141, while Gavin Martinez of San Antonio finished third at 2-over 144.

Rylen Darter of Taylor captured the Girls Division, closing with an even-par 71 for a 2-under 140 total. The 2029 graduate began the final round tied with Pippa Fikes and held firm to earn her first Legends Junior Tour title of 2026.

Fikes finished runner-up at 143, with Austin’s Addison Bandelier third at 144.
