FROM PARIS TO AUSTRALIA: DIAZ AND McELROY QUALIFY FOR MJT TEAM CANADA
Paris, ON – (June 28, 2010) – In addition to competing for division titles, players in the two-day Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) stop at Paris Grand Country Club in Paris last weekend were qualifying for spots on MJT Team Canada to compete in the Srixon International Junior Classic in New South Wales, Australia, this October. The event endured a little rain with hot and muggy conditions on day two, but successfully concluded just before a storm rolled in.
Sterling Emery, 19, of Orangeville, fired a closing round of 73 to come from behind and win his second MJT Boys 17-19 title this season with a total score of 154. “It was great to come back from a lot down and make good shots with good swing thoughts from my coach, Dave Smallwood,” he summarized about his victory. “My goal is to play decent golf before I go away to school at Adrian College.” Just one stroke back was Javier Diaz, 17, of Vaughan, who shot 80-75 (155), while third place in the division was claimed by Declan Kaster, 18, of Ayr (81-77=158).
