First-time winners dominate MJT’s Pitt Meadows stop
For Immediate Release – Pitt Meadows, BC – (September 10, 2012) – It was great to see three first-time winners and one repeat champion win their respective age divisions in the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) British Columbia Fall One-Day Series at Pitt Meadows Golf Club in Pitt Meadows, this past Sunday, September 9th, where despite some heavy rain, the full field of junior golfers battled through and some fine scores were recorded.
After competing on the tour for four years in over 20 tournaments, Cole Briggs, 15, of Langley, BC, and a junior at Langley Golf Centre, fired 72 for his first MJT title, winning low overall and the MJT Boys 14-16 division. “The key was making clutch putts and staying calm when I had an ‘off’ shot, not making any big mistakes,” he said. “It feels really good (to win), staying calm and grinding it out paid off.” Runner-up in this division was Cam McAllister, 14, of Gibsons, BC, and Sunshine Coast Golf Club, who shot 74. There was a tie for third place at 78 between Capilano Golf Club’s Nicholas Lewis, 14, of West Vancouver, BC, and Eric Wan, 16, of Vancouver and Savage Creek Golf Club.
