CONNERS CLAIMS LEAD AT LISTOWEL
LISTOWEL, ON – Rain throughout the day hampered young golfers during the first stop on the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s (MJT) inaugural one-day Ontario Fall Series at Listowel Golf Club in Listowel on September 13th . The event is the first in a series of four one-day tournaments for the national program in the province; the other three stops run September 27 at Dundee Golf Club in Dundee, October 11th at Foxwood Golf Club in Baden, and October 25th at Whistle Bear Golf Club in Cambridge.
The weather did not deter local Corey Conners, 16, however, who enjoyed his home course advantage and fired 71 to edge Chris Hemmerich, 15, of Kitchener, by one shot to claim low overall and the Boys 14-16 division title. Third place in this division went to Truman Tai, 14, of Markham, who shot 76. Hemmerich won their Mr. Lube Long Drive Competition and Neil Khosla, 16, of Mississauga, won the Sundog Closest-to-the-Pin Competition.
