Winner Quote: Zos Gross, 15, of Brandon, MB: “It feels great to win my division I have been working hard at my game in the offseason and it's nice to see it pay off. I didn't know I’d won until I handed in my score at the end. The highlight of the tournament for me was on hole 10 when I chipped in for par. This was a big turning point in my round. My putting definitely contributed the most to my win this weekend!”

Winner Quote: Noah Fiks, 18, of Winnipeg, MB: “It feels great to start the season with the win. I hit a nice iron shot on 18 to 15 feet and that's when I realized I secured the victory. My hole-in-one on 12 on the first day was 100% the highlight of the tournament for me. I hit a pure four iron from 206 yards into the wind I saw the ball land and then lost sight of it.. when my dad had his hands up I realized I made it. The thing I think that really secured me the win was my off-the-tee game and mid-irons from 140-180 yards.”
