Billingsley Bests The Bridges in MJT’s Chinook Credit Union Series in Claresholm
Claresholm, AB – (August 29, 2011) – The Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s (MJT) final Alberta stop was the MJT Chinook Credit Union Series at The Bridges of Claresholm Golf Club in Claresholm over the August 27th-28th weekend. The golf course was in excellent condition, with the greens running fast and true, and the weather was superb – plus 30 degrees Celsius for both days with little wind.
Calgary’s Greg Billingsley, 16, won Low Overall and was crowned the Boys 14-16 Division champion in the Chinook Credit Union-sponsored event with impressive rounds of 69-70 (-5). Following up his first round of 69, Billingsley came down to the final hole ahead by one shot over Ian Mmbando of Lethbridge, and made a crucial putt on the 36th hole to win. “It is the greatest memory of 2011 for me, that putt to win,” said Billingsley. “We had a great group, I really enjoy the guys I played with, and it seems that way at every MJT event. I was just trying to stay focused on what I was trying to do, just stay in my own little bubble!”
