May 20-21, 2023
Abbotsford, BC
It was another packed field on the non-profit Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour in Abbotsford, BC, where over 90 players competed in the MJT PLYR Series at Ledgeview Golf and Country Club on May 20 and 21. Titles in six divisions were on the line and winners were treated to a full array of PLYR prizes. There was also the chance to qualify for two major events: the PGA Tour Canada-affiliated MJT Future Stars presented by ATBin Edmonton, AB, this June, and for Team BC in the Junior America’s Cup in Reno, Nevada, this July. Scoring averages will be used to finalize Team BC once qualifying at select events is completed. The MJT, Canada’s number one-played Junior Tour, is the sole qualifier in the country for these two major junior events.
The tricky Ledgeview Golf and Country Club, childhood home club to MJT alumni and PGA Tour stars, Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor, showed its teeth this weekend as the juniors battled to break par on the difficult track. Harvey Liu, 15, of Surrey, and Samuel Kurytnik, 17, of Nanaimo, tied for Low Overall honours and will both receive MJT Future Stars presented by ATB exemptions. Kaylee Chung, 15, of Vancouver, was Low Overall in the MJT Girls Divisions, leading all females in scoring for the weekend. Top finisher highlights are below; all the scores along with results from the TaylorMade Long Drive, PLYR Closest to the Pin, Booster Juice BounceBack Awards and Academy Points can be found here.
