There is no more prominent group in the Valley than the Thunderbirds, host of the infamous PGA Tour stop, the FBR Open at the TPC Scottsdale. Well, when they partner with the Junior Golf Association of Arizona, it's a marriage that creates something special for the best junior players in the area. An invitational open only to 32 boys and 32 girls, this is one of the few "majors" on the junior circuit, and Encanterra couldn't be more proud to have been the host venue.
