Canada's #1 Junior Golf Tour

 

A major-ranked three-day tournament in Carman, MB, fielded an elite group of players on Canada’s number one Junior Tour on August 6 through 8, when the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) wrapped up its 2024 Manitoba season with the highly anticipated MJT Bieber Classic-Manitoba Junior Championship at Carman Golf Club. Set against the stunning backdrop of the northeastern edge of the Pembina Valley, Carman Golf Club hosted over 60 junior golfers from three provinces in the 54-hole event, with five division titles up for grabs along with the chance to qualify for the Champion of Champions 2025 at Lough Erne Resort in Ross Inner, Enniskillen, United Kingdom, in July 2025.
 

The Boys low overall honours went to 16-year-old Brayden Boge from Winnipeg, MB, who won the MJT Bieber Classic Juvenile Boys champion’s trophy (71,76,82=229). Boge qualified for one of the age-specific spots in the 2025 Champion of Champions tournament along with Hunter Oakden, 13, of Brandon, MB, who was crowned MJT Bieber Classic Bantam champion (74,77,79=230), and Sophia Reid, 13, of Fonthill, ON (83,92,90=265), who claimed the MJT Bieber Classic Girls U15 title.  The other top performing MJT Bieber Classic division champions were Kaleb Lambert, 18, from Lorette West, MB, in Junior Boys (72,80,78=230), and Ty Montour, 11, from Oakville, MB, in Peewee Boys (85,94,85=264).
