Stefureak wins TPC Sawgrass Spot on MJT at Grey Silo
Waterloo, ON – (September 3, 2012) – Craig Stefureak of Caledonia, ON, was the eligible winner of a paid spot into the Future Collegiate World Tour’s (FCWT) TPC Sawgrass event in Ponte Vedre Beach, Florida, after winning low overall out of the full field of Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) players in the tournament at Grey Silo Golf Club in Waterloo, Ontario, over the Labour Day weekend.
15-year old Stefureak fired two solid rounds of 73-70 (143) from the 6532 yard tees on the very difficult course to earn the exemption into the FCWT event, which is closely watched by U.S. and Canadian College Coaches, fulfilling a mandate of the MJT to be the ‘Road to College Golf’ in Canada. “My driver was lights out. I might have missed two fairways all tournament,” said Stefureak, who won the MJT Boys 14-16 division title by three shots over nearest rival Trevor Ranton, 15, of Waterloo, (75-71=146). “The course was challenging and had some tough points; it was in good condition. The win feels great and I hope to do it again.” Rounding out the top three in the 14-16 division was Welsey Day, 16, of Ajax, ON, who shot 75-72 (147).
