Royal Palm Beach's Giuseppe Puebla and Jupiter's Grace Carter were named to the 2026 U.S. National Junior Team by the United States Golf Association for the first time on Wednesday, Dec. 17.
The USGA selects the roster for the U.S. National Junior Team as part of its U.S. National Development program, which aims to provide year-round coaching, guidance and support for America's best junior players.
Puebla, a University of Florida commit in the Class of 2027, is the No. 2 overall player in the American Junior Golf Association's Rolex Rankings. He was a member of the United States' winning team at the Junior Ryder Cup in September at Bethpage Black in New York.
Carter is in the Class of 2029 recruiting class and is No. 23 in the latest AJGA Rolex Rankings. She has won four AJGA events so far this year and tied for third at the 76th U.S. Girls' Junior.
