Olds, AB – (June 11, 2012) – Rain, lightning, thunder and a tornado watch cancelled play on the first day of the June 9-10 Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s MJT Mountain View Credit Union Classic at Olds Central Highland Golf Club in Olds, however the full field of young players battled through the elements on the second day despite winds constantly blowing at 50-60 km/hr and gusting higher, and managed to finish 18 holes.
In the Boys 17-19 Division, nine holes was completed on this first day before the weather hit, and Brayden Brown, 17, of Calgary, AB, took full advantage of extremely difficult conditions to claim his division’s Gold medal.

We were all trying to just hold it together,” added Brown. On the final hole of the tournament, Brown lost his tee shot, went back to the tee to re-hit, and made birdie on his second ball to claim victory over Holliday. Finishing in third place was Jason Fritz, 19, of Lethbridge, AB, who shot 39-79.
