Tomalty Scores Spot to Arizona at MJT GEOCAN Energy Classic
CALGARY, AB – Michael Tomalty, 18, of Calgary, AB, edged the rest of the field by one in the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s (MJT) GEOCAN Energy Classic to claim low overall score and a spot in the CAN-USA Team Matches at ASU Karsten Golf Club in Tempe, Arizona, this December. The two-day tournament on August 7th and 8th was held at McKenzie Meadows Golf Club in Calgary, and featured a field of junior golfers from parts of Saskatchewan and British Columbia, as well as from all over Alberta.
Tomalty, a junior member at Pinebrook Golf Club, fired 70-73 (143) and also took home the Boys 17 and up division title. “I struck the ball solid both days and made some key pars down the stretch,” he said, noting that he was telling himself not to make ‘stupid mental errors.’ Runner-up in his division was David Crossley, 17, also of Calgary, who shot 74-73 (147). Third place went to Travis Kemp, 17, of Lethbridge, AB, after he posted scores of 76-72 (148). Harrison Taylor, 17, of Langley, BC, tied for fourth place at 149 total score with Hogan Short, 17, of Lethbridge.
