Kamloops, BC
Kamloops, BC – (July 3, 2016) – Canada’s number one-played junior golf tour returned to Kamloops, BC, for the first time in many years this past week, hosting the Dearborn Ford/Kamloops Free Ford Go Golf! Junior Clinic for kids in the community on June 29 and the two-day Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s MJT Ford Series for competitive golfers on June 30 and July 1, both at the well-conditioned The Dunes at Kamloops Golf Club. Very hot weather on day one and some rain on day two did not deter excellent scoring in the tournament, which was also a qualifier for members into the International Players Championship (IPC) presented by Miura Golf in Jasper, Alberta, this August.
Almost eight years after participating as a beginner in the very same Dearborn Ford free junior clinic, Terry Cousineau , 18, of Kamloops, made it a perfect circle and won the MJT Junior Boys Division title and low overall in the MJT Ford Series with stellar rounds of 70, 70 (140), featuring a par-three play on the second day, making three birdies out of the four par threes and then lipping out for a birdie on the fourth. “I feel good about winning, this is my biggest win up until this point,” he said. Hot on his heels was runner-up Jackson Thornley, 18, of Vancouver, BC, who had a birdie-eagle-birdie stretch on the first day and a three-under par 69 on day two (73, 69=142). Tyler Leclair, 19, of North Vancouver, BC, had an amazing five-under par on day two to vault into third place (76, 67=143).
