While local favourite Annalese McKee narrowly missed the win in the playoff, she bounced back in dominant fashion on day two at Yamba. Showing composure and consistency, McKee held off a strong challenge from Noah Adey to not only take the daily win\u2014but cruise to the overall NRDGA Championship title by an impressive 7-shot margin.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"727\" data-end=\"1143\">In the Nett standings, it was a tight battle between Stella Payne and Stone Cannon, who were locked in a tie before Stella edged ahead on countback. But the story of the day belonged to Chloe Baker, who stormed into first place with a sensational personal best\u20145 under her handicap and breaking 90 for the very first time. Her late surge leapfrogged both Stella and Stone to claim the Nett title in dramatic fashion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1260\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Perfect weather, great crowds, and top-quality golf made the 2025 NRDGA Junior Championships a weekend to remember.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Winners and Prizes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>$200 Gross Winner &#8211; Annalese McKee (Grafton)<br \/>\n$100 Gross R\u2019up &#8211; Noah Adey (Iluka)<br \/>\n$200 Nett Winner &#8211; Chloe Baker (CTH)<br \/>\n$100 Nett R\u2019up &#8211; Stella Payne (Ballina)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2688.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4112 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2688-334x480.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"278\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2688-334x480.jpeg 334w, https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2688.jpeg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 278px) 100vw, 278px\" \/><\/a> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4111 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2685-364x480.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"303\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2685-364x480.jpeg 364w, https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_2685.jpeg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 303px) 100vw, 303px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>McKee Shines, Baker Breaks 90, and Weather Delivers at 2025 NRDGA Junior Championships The 2025 Annual NRDGA Junior Championships served&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more-gradient\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/2025\/09\/36-hole-nrdga-junior-championship-13th-and-14th-september\/\" class=\"more-link\" title=\"Read More\">Read More <i class=\"fa fa-chevron-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[12,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","category-junior"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4080"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4080\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4113,"href":"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4080\/revisions\/4113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nrdga.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
