Sutcliffe & Foster Win Challenge Tour Player of the Year South Florida Junior Challenge Tour members Ryder Sutcliffe of Jupiter, and Hannah Foster of Hobe Sound, put together an outstanding season on the Challenge Tour in 2014. Sutcliffe claimed five victories on the Challenge tour in 2014 to capture the Player of the Year Honors for the Boys 13-18 age division. Foster took home three victories on the Challenge Tour and claimed the Girls 13-18 age division Player of the Year.

Roberts Cousins Capture 11-12 Player of the Year The Challenge Tour boys 11-12 age division provided plenty of entertainment during 2014. After a close Player of the Year battle all season, Coral Springs native Brett Roberts was able to win his age division at the Tour Championship and propel himself into first place in the race for Player of the Year. The girls 11-12 age division didn’t feature as tight of a race as Boca Raton native Taylor Roberts was able to win seven tournaments during 2014 and capture the Girls 11-12 age division Player of the Year.
