Canada's #1 Junior Golf Tour

 

The Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT), Canada’s most played and competitive junior circuit, brought its high-energy Mini Tour to Triple Creek Golf Club in Millet, Alberta, on July 10. Nestled amid rolling hills and tree-lined fairways, the course provided a fitting challenge for a strong field of 12U golfers competing for division titles and qualifying spots in next month’s MJT Mini Tour National Championship at Tsawwassen Springs Golf Course in British Columbia.

Each division saw determined efforts and well-earned wins, including titles captured by Jaxon Rogalczyk, 11, of Innisfail, AB, in MJT Boys 11-12 (75), Sydney Preston, 12, of Calgary, AB, in MJT Girls 11-12 (83), Mika Bhamra, 9, from Calgary, AB, in MJT Boys 9-10 (75), Mia He, 10, from Edmonton, AB, in MJT Girls 9-10 (80), Mason Wilkes, 8, of Drayton Valley, AB, in MJT Boys 8U (80), and Ella Chan, 7, of Edmonton, AB, in MJT Girls 8U (112).

Quotes from the division winners, top finisher scores and the list of qualified players are detailed below. Full results, as well as winners of the Closest-to-the-Pin and Long Drive competitions, are posted on the MJT website here.
