Surrey, BC – (September 2, 2015) – Ignoring a major storm on day one, and intermittent rain on day two, local Marcus Brown ended his junior career and six year stint on the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour in style by firing 71, 72 (143) to win Low Overall and the MJT Junior Boys champion’s trophy in the MJT Ford Series at Hazelmere Golf Club in Surrey, BC, on August 31st and September 1st.
Tournament Director, Neil Bidewell, commented that Brown, who is now off to play NCAA Division 2 golf on scholarship at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, BC, is a great role model for juniors on Canada’s number-one played junior tour and will be missed on the MJT. Brown, who cited a tournament highlight as his eagle on the fifth hole, stated, “I feel absolutely splendid. This is my last junior tournament and I love the MJT with all my heart.” There was a three-way tie at 148 total score for second place in the division between Jacob Bland of Sechelt, BC (77, 71), Shayne LaRochelle of Coquitlam, BC (77, 71) and Taylor Patrick of Surrey, (75, 73).
The MJT Juvenile Boys champion was Andrew Spalti of Vancouver, BC, who shot 73, 71 (144) to win by six strokes in the difficult conditions over both Andy Fan of Vancouver (76, 74) and Mitchell Thiessen of Chilliwack, BC (76, 74). “I made a putt for eagle on 16 – even though it’s quite a short hole, it’s still an eagle,” said Spalti about his tournament highlight. “I have won the Ford Series before and wanted to give it another shot – it feels good (to win) because most of this year I have been close to winning but never capitalized.”
