The national award is based on community service, leadership and character through involvement with AJGA and the USGA. Joseph Suarez of Virginia won the boys' award. Villela wrote her essay on how she got started in golf.
The two will be honored at the Rolex Tournament of Champions, one of the most prestigious junior tournaments in the country, on July 5.
Also, each award winner receives four tickets per day to a U.S. Open of his or her choice. Villela chose the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines next year.
