HERPERGER HOT WITH 5-UNDER WINNING SCORE AT MJT’S FINORA CLASSIC

North Battleford, SK – (June 7, 2010) – Day one of the season opening two-day Finora Classic on the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour at North Battleford Golf and Country Club was wet and drawn out by an hour’s rain delay, however day two had great weather for the strong field of competitive junior golfers who were vying for division titles and a paid exemption into a high level junior event in the USA.

Mike Herperger, 18, of Humboldt, blasted the soggy, tough putting course with outstanding scores of 69-70 (139) to finish at five-under-par, leaving most players wondering what happened. Herperger won the Boys 17-19 gold medal and the exemption into a Future Collegiate World Tour (FCWT) event in the USA with his low overall score. Runner-up in this division was 2009 MJT Cleveland Golf Player of the Year, Jerry Christiansen, 17, of Saskatoon, who fired 78-71 (149), while Jared Tupper, 17, of Meadow Lake, came third with scores of 71-79 (150).
