2024 Boys’ Junior Player of the Year

The 2024 RDGA Boys’ Junior Player of the Year: Alex Hill

The Rochester District Golf Association began its Junior Player of the Year Award in 2006 as a way to honor the year’s top junior players – Boys AND Girls ages 12 through 18 – based on points earned from local, regional and national junior tournaments throughout the season.

Now in its 17th season, the RDGA Junior Player of the Year Award has been presented to several outstanding Junior players who have since gone on to become top amateurs at the national level – such as Yarik Merkulov – as well as professional tour golfers, including Dominic Bozzelli and Gavin Hall.

In 2018, a separate category was created for an annual RDGA Girls’ Player of the Year Award, thus making the previous Junior Player of the Year the annual RDGA Boys’ Junior Player of the Year Award. Any junior girls who had previously won the Junior Player of the Year still appear on the past winners list.

In the 2024 RDGA Boys Point Standings race, Alex Hill of Cobblestone Creek Country Club earned his first RDGA Boys Player of the Year Award by finishing with a lead of less than 100 points by the end of the season.

In addition to becoming a first-time champion in the RDGA Boys Junior Championship at Livingston Country Club in August, Hill – a member of the winning RDGA Williamson Cup team in 2023 – remained competitive and in contention throughout the 2024 campaign to win his first Boys Player of the Year honors.
