Jackson, Yuan and Diaz Win at Spring Preview

CLEBURNE, TX – Henry Jackson fired an amazing 3-under par 69 in extremely windy conditions to win the Spring Preview’s Boys 15-18 Division at Cleburne Golf Links. Kaylee Yuan captured the Girls 12-18 Division, while Isaiah Diaz won in the Boys 14 & Under Division. 

Winners: Lantana’s Jackson trailed by two strokes heading into Sunday’s Final Round. He finished with rounds of 69-69 to get to 5-under par 139 overall and three strokes ahead of the field. Jackson had an exciting front nine with 5 birdies, 3 bogeys and only one par.  The back 9 played into the teeth of a sustained 25 mph wind with gusts close to 40 mph and Jackson played the final nine with all pars and a birdie to close out his round.  Hometown favorite Kaylee Yuan of Joshua captured the Girls 12-18 Division winning with a 4 under total of 140.  The 2023 LJT Player of the Year earned her first LJT victory of the 2025 season. Yuan breezed through the windy conditions with an impressive final round consisting of 13 pars, 2 birdies and 3 bogeys.  Isaiah Diaz of Del Rio won the Boys 14 & Under Division, grabbing the lead from Gunter’s Austin Anderson with a gutsy final nine that included birdies on holes 16 and #17 to claim his 2nd LJT victory in a row. Diaz posted a 36-hole total of 3-under par 141.

Top Finishers: The Woodland’s Austin Hofferkamp shot the second lowest round on Sinday with a 2-under par 70 to vault himself into second place, 3 shots behind Jackson.  Issac Diaz of Del Rio finished in third place with a 36-hole total of 2-under par 142.  Houston’s Mason An and Dallas’s Dylan Wisner finished tied for fourth place at even par 144.  In the Girls 12-18 Division, Conroe’s Aleah Shields -Rodipe finished runner-up with a 36-hole total of 2- under par 142.  Aleah started the day 1-shot behind the first-round leader Yuan and briefly took the lead on the front nine before making the turn to the challenging final nine holes that mostly played into the gusty winds.  Frisco’s Megan Lee finished third finishing at 1-over par 145 for the tournament.  Weatherford’s Khloe Yepez and Frisco’s Addison Reilly finished in a tie for 4th at 3-over par. In the Boys 14 & Under Division, Gunter’s Austin Anderson finished second, one shot behind Diaz at 2-under par 142.  Andersons 6-under par 66 in the first round gave him a one-stroke lead to start the day which he held up until the 16th hole.  Celina’s Wyatt Brindza finished third at 2-over par 146.  Fort Worth’s Daxton Galyean and Prosper’s Owen Layton finished tied for fourth at 3-over 147.

Weather: Sunday’s weather started with temperatures in the upper 50’s and rose throughout the day topping out at 76 degrees.  A challenging south wind blew most of the day at 10-20 mph with 30+ mph gusts adding another layer of difficulty for the players on the Cleburne’s links style golf course.

Host Course: Cleburne Golf Links, located on Lake Pat Cleburne in Cleburne, TX plays host to this year’s Spring Preview. The layout features a mix of challenging holes and is designed to accommodate all skill levels. The course, which opened in 2009, stretches 7,068 yards from the longest tees and is considered a hidden gem worth the drive from the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Part of the land on which Cleburne Golf Links sits was once home to Cleburne Country Club, which hosted the Cleburne Invitational from 1929 to 1941. The inaugural championship was won by a high school golfer from Fort Worth—Ben Hogan. Three years later, Hogan became the first golf professional in Cleburne Country Club’s history, which dates to 1906. A brick home at the corner of Prairie and Second streets marks where Hogan married Valerie Fox, whose father was the projectionist at the Yale Theater. The historic Yale Theater building is currently undergoing renovations in downtown Cleburne. 

Player of the Year Points: Henry Jackson, Isaiah Diaz and Kaylee Yuan all earned 1,000 Player of the Year Points.  Points are awarded at each tournament to the top half of each age division. For more information about the LJT Player of the Year Points, click here.

Tournament History: The Spring Preview has been played every year since its inception in 2006. Past champions of this event include William Zalatoris, Maddie Szeryk, Stratton Nolen, Brad Dalke, Nathan Weant, Brendan Redfern, Travis Vick, Julia Beck, Cole Hammer, Hailee Cooper, Kyle Hogan, Turner Hosch, Shyla Brown and Hanna Alberto.

Next Up: The Legends Junior Tour heads to Rayburn on March 10-12 for the Texas Cup Invitational. Rayburn Resort is hosting the first Major event for the Boys 15-18 Division in 2025, and the 84-player field will be set on March 3.
