Cockerill cops top spot on MJT at Teulon
For Immediate Release – Teulon, MB – (July 30, 2011) – Aaron Cockerill, of Gunton, MB, who played on the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) in 2008 and 2009, paid a successful return visit this year as a 19 year old and competed in the MJT Manitoba Series at Teulon Golf Club in Teulon, July 28th and 29th, where he fired great rounds of 73-70 (143) to win low overall and the Boys 17-19 division title.
“I made tons of putts,” said Cockerill, who attributed his victory to his short game. Bret Thompson, 17, of Winnipeg, MB, who recently qualified for MJT Team Canada to Australia, came second in the division with back-to-back rounds of 76 (152 total), while third place went to Alex McDonald, 19, of Devlin, ON (81-75=156).
The Boys 14-16 division was won by Travis Fredborg, 15, of Selkirk, MB, who fired 78-74 (152) to edge runner-up, Cole Peters, 15, of Steinbach, MB, by one stroke. “I knew I was in contention down the stretch and held it together to clinch victory,” said Fredborg. “It feels great because I came so close every time this year and victory feels great!” Again just one stroke back of Peters was Steve Young, 15, of La Salle, MB, who claimed third place in the division with his scores of 76-78 (154).
