Wilson wins Low Overall on MJT at Caledon
Caledon, ON – (August 7, 2012) – Two perfect days of warm, muggy weather and a well manicured golf course marked another great event on the MJT Ontario schedule where Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) players competed over the August 4th and 5th weekend at the Caledon Country Club in Caledon, Ontario. The juniors were competing for titles in four age divisions and the chance to qualify for a spot into the Rocky Mountain Junior Golf Tour’s (RMJGT) Championship at McCormick Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, this December.
Chris Wilson, 17, of Toronto, ON, claimed his second MJT Boys 17-19 gold medal after shooting 79-75, earning Low Overall Honours and the exemption into the RMJGT event with funding provided by the MJT and Official International Events Sponsor, Travel Underwriters. “I made three birdies coming down the stretch,” he said. “It feels great (to win)! It’s always nice to win on the MJT because they are always very competitive.” Runner-up in this division with two solid rounds of 75-83 was Ryan Tsang, 19, of Thornhill, ON, followed by Wesley Kwok, 18, of Markham, ON, who carded 88-77 to take home the bronze medal.
