His 76-67 - 143 total put him in the clubhouse lead until Jordan Ediger of Earl Grey forced a playoff following rounds of 72 and 71.
Kallis made an eight-foot putt for birdie on the first extra hole to claim his first Junior Masters Title.
"'I can't wait to come back again next year," stated Kallis following his victory. "Is the tournament going to be here again, because it's a really good course for the event."
Competing in the 16 year old division, Kallis still has two years of eligibility remaining.
Ediger won the 18-year-old division, while Craig Bloom of Carnmoney won the 17-year-old division and Mac Keats of Bearspaw won the 15-year-old and under flight.

"Don't make an 11 on the 36th hole," was her advice to her peers, as she finished the tournament with rounds of 73 and 80. Despite that one bad hole, Allan claimed her first Junior Masters Title.
Allan's steady play included a 1-under par back nine during Round One on the South Nine at Wolf Creek as she won the 17- and 18-year-old flight, with Jennifer MacKinnon of Willow Park winning the 15- and 16-year-old division.
