Banff, AB
The iconic Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course in beautiful Banff, Alberta, hosted a huge field of 126 young golfers on the non-profit Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT), Canada’s number one-played junior tour, for the MJT Humber College PGM Classic over the May long weekend. This was the second of five nationally sponsored events by Tournament Partner, Humber College PGM Program. Players were competing for titles in six divisions plus vying to qualify for two major events solely offered by the MJT in Canada: the PGA Tour Canada-affiliated MJT Future Stars presented by ATB in Edmonton, AB, this June, and the Junior Americas Cup (Team Alberta) which plays in Reno, Nevada, this August.
During round two, severe weather came in and forced a stoppage of play and with more lightning on the radar plus a time crunch, the tournament had to be called and decided based on results from day one. Some impressive scoring was recorded, including three-under-par 68’s from Kye Fisher, 18, of Leduc, Tobias Buffam, 16, of Calgary and Jaiden Koonar, 18, of Calgary, in the Boys divisions, and an even par 72 from Tessa Ion, 16, from Calgary, AB, in the Girls. As Koonar and Fisher are already exempt for the MJT Future Stars, Buffam will receive an invitation to this highly anticipated event. Qualifying for the Junior Americas Cup is on-going and Team Alberta will be announced once completed in early June
