Pitt Meadows, B.C. – (May 7, 2012) – The rain stopped during round one and the sun shone all day two on the long, soggy and challenging Resort Course at Swan-e-set Bay in Pitt Meadows, BC, where the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s (MJT) Lindsay Kenney Classic played out in four divisions on May 5 and 6. The 36 hole tournament also included an Interclub Competition as well as a qualifying for international exemptions into the prestigious 60th East Aurora International Junior Masters in NY, USA, and a US Junior Amateur Regional Qualifier of choice.
Sensational Lily He, 12, of Pitt Meadows, reigned supreme on her home course and ended up even par over the two days (71-73) to win the Girls division and low overall. “I made many important putts,” she said, citing her six yard putt on the 9th hole as a highlight. “Coming down the stretch I was just trying my best and trying to make a par. I feel great (about winning), happy and proud.” Tied for second place at 153 total score were Janet Zhang, 14, of Richmond, BC, (79-74) and Keanna Mason, 15, of Maple Ridge, BC (78-75).
