Juniors battle storms at MJT’s Osprey Valley stop
For Immediate Release - Alton, ON – (August 22, 2011) – It’s Mother Nature versus the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour in Ontario, where a second consecutive tournament had severe thunderstorms wash out the second round of play. Last week at Whistle Bear Golf Club in Cambridge, play was suspended during the final nine holes of competition, and this week, at the Osprey Valley Golf Resort in Alton, only the Boys 13 and Under and the Girls divisions managed to complete 27 holes.
In the Girls Division, a tie for the overnight lead at 78 between Orangeville’s Alexis Hawerchuk and Oakville’s Alanna Haynes would be decided after their front nine on day two. Hawerchuk, 19, fired (78-37=115) to finish three strokes better than Haynes, 17, who shot (78+40=118), and described her victory as “self-proving.” When asked about her play, Hawerchuk commented that her tournament highlight was “sinking a 40-footer for birdie after a string of bogeys” and that “solid approach shots, committing to shot selection and not playing scared” were her keys to the Girls title. Lorelle Weavers, 17, of Burlington, carded 79+39=118 to finish tied with Haynes for second place.
