Four players shortlisted for Callaway Junior World Golf Championships
SWIFT CURRENT, SK – (May 21, 2013) – The Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT), Canada’s most played junior golf tour, continued the exciting trend across the country of record opening field sizes in each province with 102 players in Saskatchewan competing at Elmwood Golf Club in Swift Current - 80 high-level junior golfers played in the MJT Junior Worlds Qualifier/Golf Saskatchewan Order of Merit Series on May 19th and 20th, and 22 beginners in the MJT Mini-Tour which ran May 19th only. Four of the high-level players qualified for age-specific shortlisted spots into the Callaway Junior World Golf Championship in San Diego, CA, this July, with the final winners to be announced once all MJT qualifiers across the country have completed.
“Day one turned out to be very busy but great,” said Jeff Chambers, PGA Professional and MJT Tournament Director. “We successfully got 80 kids teed off and 22 mini juniors as well afterwards, in the MJT Mini-Tour event which followed. The highlights during the opening round were a solid 66 by Leighton Bearchell and then our local Cory Audette (of Swift Current) scored an ace on hole number eight.”
