Knapp Wins TPC Sawgrass event exemption on MJT at Osprey
Alton, ON – (August 20, 2012) – Two perfect days of warm, muggy weather and a well manicured golf course marked another successful event on the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s (MJT) Ontario schedule on August 18th and 19th at the Osprey Valley Golf Club (Hoot Course) in Alton. The juniors were competing for titles in four age divisions and the chance to qualify for a spot into the Future Collegiate World Tour’s (FCWT) event at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Verde Beach, Florida, USA, this December.
Daniel Knapp, 16, of Burlington, ON, claimed the MJT Boys 14-16 gold medal after shooting 70-70, earning Low Overall Honours and the exemption into the FCWT TPC Sawgrass event with funding provided by the MJT and Official International Events Sponsor, Travel Underwriters. “I made five birdies in a row to get me going,” he said. “It feels great knowing that I played two solid rounds and it paid off.” Runner-up in this division with two solid rounds of 72-74 was Ben Brandreth, of Rockwood, ON, followed by Jack Quirke, 15, of Waterloo, ON, who closed with a stellar 69 to move into third place (79-69).
