Kennedy secures shortlisted spot on MJT Team Canada in Prodigy Series playoff
Burlington, ON – (June 18, 2012) – Hot, humid weather and a course in excellent condition were enjoyed by a full field of juniors on the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) during the two-day MJT Prodigy Series at Hidden Lake Golf Club in Burlington, ON, on June 16 and 17, where competition for division titles plus the chance to be shortlisted for MJT Team Canada to Australia was highlighted by a hole-in-one during the first round on hole number six by 17 year old Mitch Grassing of Waterloo, ON.
Nicklaus Kennedy, 17, of London, ON, fired 71-74 to win the Boys 17-19 title over Andrew Moffat, 18, of Brantford, ON, who blazed the course on day one with a 69, but finished with a 79 on day two for a 148 total. When asked what his thoughts were on winning, Kennedy said, “I was just trying to keep it together because my swing was starting to fall apart. I had a lead and was just trying to keep it. It feels great. I am very happy where my game is at and I am looking forward to a great season.” Third place in the division went to Colton Clemmer, 18, of Kitchener, ON, who carded 78–71 (149).
