Predator Ridge Team wins Interclub Competition
Kelowna, BC – (July 20, 2016) – A great day on Tuesday July 19th saw a successful finish to the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Ford Series at The Harvest Golf Club in Kelowna, BC, after an intense storm and extreme danger from lightning strikes on July 18th had forced junior golfers to battle for division titles, international exemptions, and a team interclub victory in a shortened 18 event. Gerald Wood, General Manager of Ford Motor Company - Western Canada, was the honorary starter for the tournament, and a few juniors came close to winning a 2016 Ford Focus SE in a hole-in-one contest sponsored by Ford of Canada and Orchard Ford.
Low Overall off the blue tees went to MJT Junior Boys division winner, Derek Graham, 18, of Kelowna, who fired an outstanding score of 68 to hold off runner-up Austin Bosquet, 18, of Coldstream, BC (70). “My putter really got hot on the 7th green and the really helped the rest of the day,” said Graham. “After bogeying 15 and 16 I was a little worried, but the par on 17 really put me in a good spot on 18.” Both Graham and Bosquet now qualify for MJT Team BC in the International Team Challenge at Hunters Pointe Golf Club near Niagara Falls, ON, this September. There was a tie for third place at 73 between Ryan Buchanan of Kelowna, and Tyler Leclair of North Vancouver, BC.
