A few weeks after he won an individual gold at the B.C. Games in Maple Ridge, 91原创 golfer Ryan LePrieur dominated the juvenile boys division at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) Ford series event held Aug. 5-6 in Chiliwack.
"It was great, as usual," LePrieur remarked.
It was the same tournament he'd won the previous year, competing in the Bantam division.
This time out, the 15-year-old racked up an impressive 10 birdies over two rounds to secure a seven-shot lead and the win, with two rival golfers tying for second place.
"I prepared with tons of range work and on the mental side, I had a strong game plan to stay focused on myself," LePrieur explained.
He also won closest to the pin in his divisions (Two other 91原创 golfers also won, 91原创's Benjamin Zeng in Bantam boys and Sienna Harder in 15-19 girls).
As well, low overall honours for boys and girls respectively went to LePrieur (72,70=142) and Zhehui (Hui) Yu, 16, from Burnaby (75,78=153).
More than 100 young golfers came from across B.C., Hong Kong and Beijing were vying for MJT Ford Series titles in six divisions at the Chilliwack Golf Club over the August long weekend, participating in either a free junior clinic sponsored by Chilliwack Ford on Aug. 4, or competing in the two-day elite tournament, the MJT Ford Series on August 5-6.
The non-profit Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour is the only national junior tour run exclusively by PGA of Canada Professionals and the 鈥楻oad to College Golf鈥� in Canada.
MJT hosts more than 100 events across Canada for competitive players aged 11-19.
