Biography

High School / Amateur Career
An elite junior golf talent who enjoyed a highly decorated prep career at Westlake High School in Austin, Texas, before signing his National Letter of Intent with the Chaparrals... Developed his game on the competitive Legends Junior Tour and Southern Texas PGA circuits, routinely going head-to-head with the state’s best junior golfers... Captured national attention during the 2024 PURE Insurance Championship at Pebble Beach, where he was selected as the junior amateur partner alongside six-time PGA Tour winner Rocco Mediate... The duo went viral across social media for their infectious chemistry, highlighted by Frierson showing immense confidence on national television by successfully pulling off a bold 4-iron shot over the water on Pebble Beach's iconic 18th hole... His final amateur (junior level) summer in 2026 was marked by historic performances on the national stage, starting with a monumental victory at the 100th Texas Junior Amateur Championship at Stonebriar Country Club... After opening the major tournament with a 2-over 74, he mounted a stunning comeback by firing a flawless, bogey-free 4-under 68 in the second round and closing with a steady 2-under 70 to capture the historic centenary title by two strokes with a 4-under 212... His victory at the Texas Junior Amateur secured an official exemption into the prestigious 78th U.S. Junior Amateur Championship at Saucon Valley Country Club... On the national stage in Pennsylvania, he put the country on notice during the 36-hole stroke-play portion, opening with a 1-over 71 on the Grace Course and following it with an even-par 71 on the Old Course... His 1-over par total placed him tied for 19th in a world-class field of 264 players, comfortably advancing him to the exclusive match play bracket where he stringed together nine consecutive pars on the back nine before concluding his legendary run... Also represented his region at the annual Jackie Burke Cup matches, finishing his junior team career with a strong 1-1-1 individual record...
