Vancouver, B.C. (March 21, 2017) – Great scoring was recorded out of a packed field of junior golfers from four different provinces as well as the USA during three days of competition in the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s (MJT) season opening Vancouver Junior Championship at University Golf Club, Vancouver, BC, on March 18,19 and 20, where players were competing for titles in seven age divisions on the Boston Pizza-sponsored program. A hole-in-one on the third hole on day two was also recorded by Brandon Frechette, 15, of Lake Country, BC, earning him a special Miura Golf Gift Certificate.
"The scores posted were outstanding especially in very wet spring conditions, with Susan Xiao our Overall Girls Champion and Andrew Spalti the Overall Boys Champion," said Neil Bidewell, MJT Tournament Director. "The greens at University Golf Club were fantastic, which helped.”
Fantastic scoring by 15-year-old phenomenon Susan Xiao, 15, of Surrey, BC, saw her post a 54-hole total of seven under par after she fired outstanding rounds of 69, 68, 72 (209) to go low overall for the tournament and win the MJT Girls 15-18 Hoselton trophy. “I feel honoured and proud (to win),” she said. “The highlight of this event definitely was meeting and seeing all my friends, but the key reasons for my victory were hitting the greens and making birdie putts.”
