Surrey, BC – (August 20, 2014) – Both Tiffany Kong and Raymond Li, both from Vancouver, fired four-under-par rounds of 68 to kick-start clear leads in the Girls and Bantam Boys divisions during the opening round of the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Ford Series at Hazelmere Golf Club in Surrey, BC, this week, gunning their way to qualify for the IMG World Junior Match Play and MJT International Players Championship respectively.
Tiffany Kong, who is only 13, closed with a 75 to shoot a 143 total and nine stroke winning margin in the MJT Girls division. “My putting on the first day gave me an exceptional 68 – I saved many putts,” she said. “All of the competitors were very good – it was a great competition and feels great to win my second MJT.” Runner-up was Haeun Park, 15, of Surrey, who shot 71, 81 (152) and third place on the podium went to Jessica Wu, 14, of Langley, BC (74, 81=155)
