Kelowna, BC – (July 30, 2014) – Searing temperatures up to 40 degrees Celcius seemed to bring out some scorching scores during the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Ford Series in Kelowna, BC, this past week, where a full field of competitive junior golfers battled for division titles as well as for a team interclub victory at The Harvest Golf Club on July 28th and 29th.
A team from Two Eagles Golf Club in Kelowna (Kristian Oppenheim, Tanner Marshall and Nik Federko) took down Penticton Golf Club’s team (Kurtis Fontinha, Zach Gardner and Haley Hewer) by one shot in the MJT Interclub Competition, earning a $500 donation towards the junior golf program at their facility.
Two 17-year-old juniors from Coldstream, BC, fired two stellar rounds to tie for the low overall individual lead at a 140 four-under-par total score. Austin Bosquet shot 71, 69 to match up with Matthew Kreutz’s 68, 72, forcing a playoff where Bosquet made a brilliant 20 foot sliding putt on the first playoff hole to win his first MJT Junior Boys 17-19 title. “The win feels very good, it’s a huge relief,” he said. Third place in the division went to Lionel Taylor, 18, of Kelowna, who carded a one-under-par total of 70, 73 (143).
