WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – Wichita Collegiate’s Lunden Esterline, an Andover, Kansas, native, captured the boys division title at the 49th Junior PGA Championship with a four-round total of 19 under par, winning by six strokes. He sealed the victory with a final-round even-par 71, topping a field that included Charlie Woods, son of golf legend Tiger Woods.
Esterline’s dominant performance included a remarkable course-record-tying 62 in round two and earned him a spot on the 2025 U.S. Junior Ryder Cup Team. The win marks another milestone in a decorated junior career that already includes state and AJGA titles.
The 16-year-old, upcoming junior at Wichita Collegiate School, has committed to Auburn University and is expected to join the Tigers’ golf program in 2027.
