Cambridge, ON – August 17, 2016 – The final round of the MJT Players Championship presented by Freedom 55 Financial at Whistle Bear Golf Club proved to be quite a test as significant rain was followed by high winds, leading to some very difficult scoring conditions in the Golf Canada-ranked event in Cambridge, ON, August 15 and 16. Mike Skimson, MJT Tournament Director, said he was very pleased, however, with yet another top notch event at Whistle Bear. “Excellent conditions greeted the players as the grounds staff have been working hard to prepare for the LPGA event here in a few weeks,” he said. “And it was great to have Freedom 55 Financial Representatives John Cleminson, Rob Gare, and Paul Westaway take part during the scoring and prize presentations.”
The full field of junior golfers were competing for title in six divisions as well as direct exemptions into the MJT National Championship at The Legacy Golf Resort in Phoenix, AZ, November 11 to 13. This took a four-way playoff in the MJT Junior Boys Division, after a tie for the lead at 150 total score off the blue tees between Eric Shea, 17, of Brantford, ON (73, 77), Minwoo Park, 18, of Toronto, ON, (74, 76), Marcus Slipchuk, 17, of Amherstburg, ON, (73, 77), and Graeme Edwards, 17, of Mississauga, ON (72, 78). In the end it was Shea who outlasted Park on the third playoff hole. “I feel great about winning this event. This field was very strong so it is awesome to come out on top,” said Shea.
