Vigna raking it in on the MJT: adds Australian qualifier to Callaway Junior Worlds spot
For Immediate Release - White Rock, BC – (June 13, 2011) – Peace Portal Golf Club was the stage for the latest tour stop on the BC schedule for the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour, where junior golfers tackled the tight tree-lined border track for a chance to earn a spot on MJT Team Canada in the Srixon International Junior Classic in New South Wales, Australia, this fall.
Coquitlam’s Kevin Vigna, 15, already a winner on the MJT with a paid trip to the Callaway Junior World Golf Championship this July, continued his impressive run by firing 74-73 (147) to win the Boys 14-16 division and tie for low overall with Scott Robertson in the Boys 17-19 division. “Winning on the MJT for the second time this year feels amazing. I just enjoyed myself every minute I was out on the course,” Vigna said. His scores were good enough for a five stroke victory in his division and he commented that by “staying patient all 36 holes I knew I would get my fair share of chances out there. Making eagle on the first hole of my second round really was the spark.” Vigna now adds the eligible shortlisted spot on MJT Team Canada to Australia to his resume.
