Discover Austin Minnesota Junior Championship (Boys)

The Discover Austin Minnesota Junior Championship presented by Hormel Foods is a 54-hole stroke play AJGA tournament held at Austin Country Club in Austin, Minnesota. The event fields 96 boys and girls ages 12 to 19, with a 36-hole cut reducing the field to the low 60% for the final round. The course plays to a par 72, about 6,520 yards, featuring a layout through pine and oak trees with Dobbins Creek running through the property. Entry is based on AJGA Performance Stars: boys fully exempt are the top 3, with top 10 needing 12 stars, top 15 needing 8 stars, and top 25 needing 4 stars; girls have a similar exemption structure, with the top 3 fully exempt and top 5 requiring 12 stars. Players must confirm their entry through the AJGA Player Center. The event includes an 18-hole qualifier offering spots to boys and girls. There are Junior-Am fundraising tournaments required for participants, along with scheduled practice rounds and a Junior-Am reception. The tournament attracts a strong field with past AJGA champions and college commits.
