VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Qualifying has completed across the country on the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) and finalists have been selected to represent Canada in the Nordic Junior Team Matches against Finland, Sweden and Estonia in Vierumaki, Finland, August 28, and September 4, 2017.
The top four junior golfers who qualified for MJT Team Canada are Brady McKinlay from Lacombe, Alberta, Chris Horton from Calgary, Alberta, Bennett Ruby from Waterloo, Ontario, and Joseph MacNeil from Severn, Ontario. They will be outfitted with team uniforms and golf bags courtesy of MJT Official International Events Partner, TuGo, and will stay at the Sports Institute of Finland.
“This will be an incredible life experience as well as an eye opener for the Canadian players,” said Trent Matson, MJT National Operations Manager, who is chaperoning the team to Helsinki. “The Sports Institute of Finland is an excellent facility and this is a unique opportunity to play against very good juniors from three different countries in different conditions.”
