Pitt Meadows, BC
Pitt Meadows, BC – (June 8, 2015) – Canada’s number-one played Junior Golf Tour, the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) presented by Boston Pizza, held the MJT Ford Series at Swan-e-Set Bay Resort and Country Club in Pitt Meadows, BC, over the scorching hot June 6th and 7th weekend.
In the beautiful weather, Brycen Ko, 11, out of Richmond, BC, took the MJT Peewee Boys title by a tremendous 24 strokes, shooting 71-73 (144) on the well manicured, challenging Swan-e-Set track. Ko’s tournament highlight was draining a 70 foot putt, which gave him the confidence to go on and win his second MJT Peewee division title this season.
In the Junior Boys 17-19 division, six year MJT veteran Ian Kim, 18, of Vancouver, BC, fired an excellent closing round of 70 to shoot 79-70 (149) to win by five strokes over another tour veteran, Shayne LaRochelle of Coquitlam, BC. Kim said, “I birdied the last hole, and it feels great to win my first tournament of the year.”
