VANCOUVER, B.C. – (March 18, 2014) – A full field of 100 highly touted junior golfers from far and wide teed off in the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s (MJT) National Season Opener this past weekend in British Columbia. Tough weather on day one resulted in the 54 hole tournament being cut to 36 holes, with round one played at Meadow Gardens Golf Club in Pitt Meadows on March 16, and the final round on March 17 at the prestigious Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam.
Each of the four divisions featured outstanding wins by the respective champions. Low Overall and a spot in the 62nd International Junior Masters Tournament (IJM) in East Aurora, NY, one of America's oldest and most prestigious junior events, was won by Alex Park, 16, of Vancouver, BC, who fired excellent rounds of 70, 74 (144) to take the MJT Juvenile Boys division among an absolute top class of players. Just one stroke back was Vancouver’s Patrick Tan, 16, who shot 71, 74 (145), while James Kim, 16, also of Vancouver, placed third in the division (75, 74=149).
