Brighton, ON – (August 16, 2010) – Timber Ridge Golf Club in Brighton played host to the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) over the August 14th and 15th weekend, where Keaton Jones, 15, of Kitchener and Whistle Bear Golf Club, topped the leaderboard and qualified for a paid entry into a Future Collegiate World Tour (FCWT) event of his choice in the USA.
Jones, who cited numerous clutch putts and seeing his name on the top of the leaderboard as his tournament highlights, fired 76-73 to win his first MJT title by five strokes, beating Brett Geiser, 16, of Markham and Sleep Hollow Golf Club, and Tommi Peters, 15, of Peterborough and Kawartha Golf Club.
