120 Junior Golfers in Paradise at MJT’s Alberta Season Opener MacDougall qualifies for International Junior Masters
Lethbridge, AB. – (May 9, 2016) – A heavily wait-listed field of 120 junior golfers teed off the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Alberta Season Opener last weekend, competing for titles in six divisions at the superb Paradise Canyon Golf Club in Lethbridge on May 7th and 8th. At Paradise Canyon, wind is the challenger, and it fought the players with gusts to 75km per hour on day two. Lightning in the area then caused a delay with only two holes left, but the golf course staff took great care of the players which resulted in all 36 holes being completed.
Brendan MacDougall, 18, of Calgary, AB, fired excellent rounds of 70-70 (140) to win Low Overall and his second MJT Junior Boys 17-19 title this season, which comes with his second exemption into the 2016 International Junior Masters in East Aurora, New York. MacDougall had a six stroke margin over no less than three joint runners-up: Logan Hill of Red Deer, AB (76, 70), Darin Bertschi of Lethbridge (72, 74), and Jeremy Rose of Calgary (72, 74), and commented, “I had a positive attitude over the weekend and kept things in check. I’m happy with my play and the ability to play well under these difficult circumstances. It feels awesome to win again as I won in BC as well and I could not be happier with my start to this season.”
