Canada's #1 Junior Golf Tour

 

The record-setting 2025 season continued on the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT), Canada’s leading junior golf tour, with the successful conclusion of the wait-listed MJT Miller Golf Classic at Flamborough Hills Golf Club in Copetown, Ontario, on May 10-11. After a 40-minute frost delay in round one, the full field of players were treated to two fantastic days of sunshine and ideal conditions on one of Ontario’s premier golf courses — the perfect spot for high-level competition amid the rolling hills and scenic backdrop of Flamborough Hills.
 

With six division titles and four major qualifiers on the line - including spots in the East Coast Junior Championship in New Brunswick, FCG World Championship in Rancho Mirage, CA, MJT National Tour Challenge in Ontario, and the Uswing Mojing Junior World Golf Championship in San Diego, CA - the stakes were high, and the leaderboard stayed hot all weekend.

Low Overall Honours for boys and girls respectively were won by Jack Rigby, 15, of Kitchener, ON, in MJT Juvenile Boys (71-78=149) and Naomi Goh, 17, of Markham, ON, in MJT Girls 15-19 (81-79=160). Other strong performances led to division wins for Jameson Staab, 18, from Kitchener, ON, in MJT Junior Boys (78-76=154), Mona Zhao, 13, from Richmond Hill, ON, in MJT Girls U15 (82-80=162), Weigang Jin, 13, of Toronto, ON, in MJT Bantam Boys (73-76=149), and Kaige Zhu, 12, of Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON, in MJT Peewee Boys (72-75=147).
