Canada's #1 Junior Golf Tour

July 25-26, 2023
Invermere, BC

Great scores, playoff and an ace highlight MJT Western Championship presented by The Cart Locker at Copper Point

Over 90 young golfers came out to compete in the non-profit Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s British Columbia stop this week, when Canada’s number one-played junior tour held the MJT Western Championship presented by The Cart Locker at Copper Point Golf Club in Invermere, BC, on July 25 and 26. Players were competing for titles in six divisions plus the chance to qualify for a shortlisted position in the MJT National Team Challenge presented by Canada Life at Royal Niagara Golf Club in Ontario this September.

The MJT Western Championship presented by The Cart Locker was the final qualifying event for the MJT National Team Challenge.  Making a strong case to qualify for Team MJT were Emma Liu, 16, and Beck Gilewich, 16, both of Edmonton, Alberta, who claimed Low Overall honours from the furthest set of tees and are the final shortlisted players for this major team event.  Perfect scoring conditions greeted the players at the pristine Copper Point Golf Club where other highlights included an ace on the tough 17^th hole on the first day by Medicine Hat native Owen Bruins, a stunning playoff victory by Solomon Tong, 13, of Heritage Pointe, AB, who made birdie on the second hole to defeat 12-year old Bennett Love of Red Deer, AB, and sizzling scores of 72-71 by MJT veteran Olivia Johnson, 14, of Calgary, AB, who went low in the Girls U15 Division. Top finisher scores and winner quotes are detailed below, while results from the TaylorMade Long Drive, PLYR Closest to the Pin, Booster Juice BounceBack Awards and Academy Points, are posted on the MJT website here.
