Canada's most-played Junior Golf Tour

April 29-30, 2023
Lethbridge, AB

Sizzling start to MJT Alberta season with over 120 players at Paradise Canyon; Koonar shoots 66-67

Canada’s number one-played junior tour, the non-profit Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT), had a sizzling start to its 25^th anniversary season in Alberta with over 120 players teeing it up in the MJT Global Sport Academy Spring Classic at Paradise Canyon Golf Resort in Lethbridge, April 29-30.  

With near perfect weather, the southern Alberta track was defenceless against the field and the scores were low.  Jaiden Koonar, 18, of Calgary, AB, who recently committed to Kenyon College, blazed his way around the course with scores of 66-67 (-9) to win Low Overall Boys score, earning an exemption into the MJT Future Stars presented by ATB at Northern Bear Golf Club in Edmonton this June.  On the girl’s side, Aastha Savadatti followed up her opening round of even par 71 with a 74 to win the Low Overall Girls score and MJT Girls 15-19 title.  Both Savadatti and Koonar, along with every other division winner, received invitations into the FCG Callaway World Championship in California this July.
