Winner’s Quote: Eli Harris, 18, of Kelowna, BC: “It feels great! Its good to win another tournament right before the Canadian Junior Boys Championship, I think this will give me a boost in confidence going into the tournament next week. Coming down the final stretch, I made a few birdies that really sealed the deal. I made an awesome approach shot on hole 18 over the water, that was a nerve-racking one, but I struck it well and that led to a birdie. I love the game no matter what the outcome, so I just want to enjoy every moment.”
