Six MJT-PGA of BC Junior Champions crowned in 54-hole event
Surrey, BC – (July 27, 2016) – Fantastic golfing weather and a course in pristine condition were enjoyed this past week by the 100 junior golfers who competed in the 11th annual MJT Odlum Brown Classic-PGA of BC Junior Championship, a major ranked event on Canada’s number one-played Junior Golf Tour, the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT). The 54 hole event started out July 25 on the Canal Course at Northview Golf Course in Surrey, B.C., with a cut after 36 holes for the final round on the Ridge Course on July 27, and juniors were competing for titles in six divisions in the Professional Golfers’ Association of British Columbia-endorsed tournament, as well as the chance to qualify for both the International Players Championship (IPC) presented by Miura Golf in Jasper, AB, and for MJT Team BC to the International Team Challenge presented by Freedom 55 Financial in Niagara Falls, ON.
The Zalli brothers from Vancouver, BC, demonstrated their family’s golfing prowess by both winning their respective age divisions with exactly the same score of five-under-par 211 for the three days.
