| CARSTAIRS, AB - A major event on the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT), endorsed by the Alberta Professional Golfers' Association (APGA), played out Monday through Wednesday, July 24th to 26th, on Carstairs Golf Course in Carstairs, AB. The 54-hole tournament, the MJT-Alberta PGA Junior Championship, is part of a series of national events pioneered by the MJT in conjunction with the provincial CPGA zones.

A one-stroke victory claimed this exemption for Evan Cowan, 14, of Coaldale and Land-O-Lakes Golf Club, who fired 70-75-73 for a three-day total of 218, also scooping the MJT-Alberta PGA Junior Boys 14-16 champion's trophy.
