Winnipeg, MB – (August 21, 2014) – It was hot and sunny both days at the beautiful Transcona Golf Club in Winnipeg for the MJT-PGA of Manitoba Junior Championship presented by National Bank Financial, which ran August 19th and 20th.
It was another Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour win for Manitoba Provincial Junior Champion Travis Fredborg, 18, of Selkirk, MB, whose smooth rounds of 68-72 (140) gave him a seven shot win margin and the MJT-PGA of Manitoba Junior Boys 17-19 Champion title. “I stayed calm and patient and although the second day was tough I knew my breaks would come,” he said, adding, “I knew all my competitors were good players. It feels good to end the year with a ‘W’, nice to take home the last MJT of the year.” Cole Peters, 18, of Steinbach, MB, fired a brilliant 67 on day one but backed off a bit on day two to finish runner-up (67-80=147). Brett Swidinsky, 18, of Winnipeg, (73, 75) and Devon Schade, 19, of Beausejour, MB (72, 76) were right up there to tie for third at 148.
After being injured early on in the spring, it was nice to see Stefan Lavallee, 16, of Steinbach, bounce back late in the season and fire two great rounds of 72-70 (142) to win the MJT-PGA of Manitoba Juvenile Boys 15-16 title by three strokes. “Finishing the last four holes with three clutch birdies was key,” he said. “It feels great coming from behind and winning the last tour event. This was my goal for the end of the year.” Winnipeggers Cameron McIntyre, 15, (72, 73) and Izac Silagy, 16, (71, 74) played solid both days to secure a tie for second place in the division.
