Thompson Low Overall in MJT Manitoba Season Opener at The Meadows at East St. Paul
Four players shortlisted for Callaway Junior World Golf Championships
East St. Paul, MB – (May 7, 2012) – A great start to the Manitoba season on the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) unfolded at The Meadows at East St. Paul this past weekend with the weather holding out for the over 80 players taking part in the two day tournament, which was also a qualifier to shortlist players for the Callaway Junior World Golf Championship in San Diego, CA, USA. Tournament Director and PGA of Canada Professional, Ed Boge, commented, “The Meadows was in great shape as always and their staff first-class. The kids had a blast.”
Bret Thompson, 18, of Winnipeg, MB, battled hard, posting tournament low rounds each day of 71-72 and making the win look easy in the Boys 17-19 division as well as low overall. “I had a lot of no stress pars, hitting a lot of greens in regulation,” said Thompson. “It is just a great way to start off the year. I would love to play consistently all year, and qualify for the Canadian Amateur again.” Runner-up with two solid rounds of 74-74 was Jordan Sinclair, 19, of Fort Frances, ON, followed by Brendan Baldwin, 17, of Winnipeg, who carded 72-77 to take home the bronze medal.
