Albany takes all on MJT at BraeBen
Mississauga, ON – (July 16, 2012) – Consistent storms in the Toronto area all afternoon on Sunday caused the two-day Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) event on July 15 and 16 to be shortened to 27 holes. Players endured hot, humid conditions over both days, and the course was very dry and fast for the competitors who were gunning after four division titles plus a spot in the Future Collegiate World Tour (FCWT) Notre Dame event in Indiana, USA, this October.
Long time member Joel Albany, 16, of Georgetown, ON, broke through for his first MJT victory to win the Boys 14-16 title and Overall Low Honours, claiming the FCWT exemption with his scores of 70-34 (104) for the 27 holes. “On the front nine of the second day, on the last four holes, I went birdie, par, eagle, birdie,” said Albany of his highlights. “My key to the victory was that I was never over par on any of the three nines that we played. I think (Saturday) was definitely the day to score well, since it was nice and warm and the winds were calmer. Sunday brought two long rain delays and the main key was to remain limber throughout the delays. It feels great to pull myself out of my playing funk and shoot some good scores. It was enjoyable to play with the partners in my group. They posed to be great competition.” Runner-up to Albany in his division was Ben Brandreth, 16, of Rockwood, ON, who shot 76–35 (111), while third place was claimed by Ethan Harlond, 15, of Grand Valley, ON, with his scores of 78–39=117.
