Victoria’s Rowe to Victory at MJT’s Vancouver Island Stop
Victoria, BC – (June 11, 2012) – Despite “insufferable winds” on day one, according to Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) tournament director Neil Bidewell, junior golfers battled it out on Vancouver Island this past weekend at the fabulous Bear Mountain Golf Resort in Victoria, BC, competing for medals in four divisions as well as a spot into the Future Champions Golf World Championship in La Quinta, CA, USA, this July.
Lawren Rowe, 15, of Victoria, tied the low round of the tournament on his second day to claim the MJT Boys 14-16 gold medal and Low Overall Honours with his scores of 77-71 (148). “The course played very difficult and the conditions were excellent,” said Rowe, “I just tried to get my ball in the fairway and play conservatively.” Finishing second behind Rowe was Colton Dorion, 16, of Surrey, BC, with rounds of 77-79, followed by Nick Krystal, 16, of Port Moody, BC, who carded 81-77 to claim bronze.
