The high school sophomore shot an even-par 72 in the second round to win by five strokes. Sitompul finished second, while Natalie Nobles of Navasota, Texas, and Gabrielle Kim of Irvine, California, tied for third.
“It definitely feels really nice to get a win here,” Neves said. “I play this course a lot, so it feels good. Winning in my home city means it just feels really good.”

Stanford opened the tournament with a 1-under 71 and entered the final round two shots behind first-round leader Noah Chauvin of Broussard, Louisiana. Stanford shot a bogey-free 5-under 67 in the final round to win by one stroke. Chauvin finished second, and Barron Vollmer of Gulf Shores, Alabama, placed third.
“Finishing second last year was a tough moment for me, and I was determined to come back and get the job done this year,” Stanford said…
