WELLAND ONTARIO – AUGUST 30, 2019 – The 2019 CJGA Mizuno Canadian National Junior Championship came to its conclusion on Friday evening with four new National Champions being named.  Ella Weber (U19 Girls), Bavake Sihota (U19 Boys), Kevin Lee (U15 Boys) and Lauren Gervais (U15 Girls) were all able to hoist the Mizuno Trophy following four days of intense competition at the Cardinal Lakes Golf Club in Welland, Ontario.

In the Junior Girl’s Division, Ella Weber from Burlington, Ontario had the best final round of the tournament, firing a one-under-par (71) on Friday to trumpet up the leaderboard and into an eventual tie with the third-round leader and defending Mizuno National Champion Sarah Gallagher.  Weber would go on to defeat Gallagher in a play-off to claim her first National Championship and fourth CJGA Championship title and rob Gallagher of a threepeat.

Gallagher (Burlington, ON), who held the tournament lead through the first three days of competition was looking to make history by claiming 2019 her third straight Mizuno National Championship title, having claimed the 2018 Junior Girls division title and the 2017 Bantam Girls division title, however despite firing a solid six-over-par (78) on Friday she was unable to hold off the charging Weber who’s game seemed to peek at just the right time.

Third place in the Junior Girls division went to Milton, Ontario’s Roslyn Rooke who finished 8 shots back of Gallagher and Weber at 320 (+32).

Playing in his first Mizuno National Championship, Valenzuela stayed consistent throughout the week firing rounds of 75-76-73-72 for a four-day total of 296 (+8), but in the end Bavake’s early lead proved too much to overcome.  Rounding out the top three in the Junior Boy’s Division was Kavith Ranchagoda (Richmond Hill, ON) at 299 (+11)

Caledon, Ontario (July 26, 2019) – For the first time in the events seventeen-year history, the Canadian side made up of CJGA members captured back-to-back titles at the North America Cup.  Needing just four points out of a possible twelve heading into today’s singles matches, CJGA Team Canada split the points evenly, 6-6, to capture the North America Cup by a score of 14.5 – 9.5.

The day off in the Americans favour as 5 of the first six matches started out with the American side up early on the front nine.  That would not last however as the Canadian girls, Sarah Cumby and Yasmine Qureshi, settled in and were able to capture both matches and get two quick points on the board.  They finished the event undefeated, capturing all four points available.

The Bantam Boys division were the second group out, facing a stiff test in their American counterparts.  Canadians Nathan Szpakowicz and Tanner Cardwell played solid golf all week, falling just shy in the fourball and foursome formats on the 18^th hole both days.  Today ended in similar fashion, as American Jeep Patrick sunk a winning putt on the 18^th hole for the third consecutive day to defeat Szpakowicz 1UP, while Nick Ciocca defeated Cardwell 5&3 to capture all four points for the American side in the Bantam Boys division.

“I am so happy for the players and the effort they put forth this week” stated an elated Ryan Shaw, CJGA Team Canada non-playing captain.  “From the moment we came together at the residence, I could tell this group would be special.  They bonded on and off the course, and I think that went a long way in them digging deep and playing for each other.”

The Junior Boys division were the last groups out, knowing somewhere in this group the Cup would be decided.  After Logan Hawke defeated Alex Burnett in the sixth match, CJGA Team Canada was just one point away from hoisting the Cup for the second consecutive year.  With many of the matches close heading to the back nine, it would be Ryan McAskill’s 5&4 victory over Chandler Brewer that would clinch the fourth and deciding point to keep the North America Cup in Canada for a second consecutive year.

“I know the memories and friendships created this week will last a long-time” stated Shaw.  “It has been a tremendous week and cannot thank TPC Toronto, the juniors from both sides, and CJGA staff for such an amazing experience and opportunity.”

Caledon, Ontario (July 25, 2019) – As the hot summer sun beat down on the juniors from both Canada and the United States, CJGA Team Canada expanded their lead over IJGT Team USA following the second day of the North America Cup at TPC Toronto.  Competing in foursome matches, the Canadian side increased their lead to five after a 3.5-2.5 score today, 8.5-3.5 overall.

Ryan McAskill and Tyler Cunningham were the first Canadians out facing off against Americans Steven Strasheim and Matthew Hicks. The match stayed tight throughout the front nine, with the Canadians finding themselves one down going to the back. Despite the best efforts of McAskill and Cunningham, they were unable to find their best game on the day, as the Americans were able to pull away on the back nine, ending the match at 4 & 3 on the fifteenth hole.

The Alberta pairing of Cole Ruelling and Tayler Kurucz teed off in the second match of the day against Matthew Hicks and Tyden Wilson. This was a closely fought match all round, and heading into the seventeenth hole, the two teams were all square. After a long tee shot by Ruelling, Kurucz hit a tremendous approach shot, which allowed the Canadians to par the hole and take a one-hole lead heading onto the last hole. However, Hicks and Wilson had a strong eighteenth hole and were able to pull the match back to all square, meaning the two teams each took half a point on the day.

Logan Hawke and Dayton Price were paired together for a second consecutive day and faced off against an American team of Jaden Wiesman and Chandler Brewer. After the front nine, the Canadians held a two-hole advantage, which they extended to a three-hole lead by the sixteenth hole meaning the match was dormie. On sixteen, Brisebois hit a great tee shot to the middle of the green, which allowed the boys to par the hole and finish the match at 3 & 2, extending Canada’s lead to 7-2 over the Americans.

Riley Mathieson and partner Alexander Brisebois were the final match of the Junior Boys division and drew Americans Alex Burnett and Mikee Ordona. Hawke and Price got off to a quick start, with a two-hole lead early on, after winning holes one and four. They went on to the back nine with a four-hole lead, after winning the ninth hole, and did not look back from there. The Canadians eventually finished the match on the thirteenth hole, making quick work of their opponents, and winning the match by a score of 7 & 5.

“Today was another solid day for the entire team and I’m really proud of how they played” stated Ryan Shaw, CJGA Team Canada non-playing captain.  “It is easy to lose focus after building a lead like we did after round one, but the team was prepared and focused, and really played well. I am happy with our position heading into tomorrow’s singles matches and look forward to an exciting day of competition.”

The Bantam Boys were the fifth match out with CJGA Team Canada partners Tanner Cardwell and Nathan Szpakowicz battling Americans Jeep Patrick and Nick Ciocca. The Canadians were looking for revenge after losing a heartbreaker on the eighteenth hole in round one. Ironically, the match was all square on the eighteenth tee once again, giving the Canadians a chance for redemption. However, it was a feeling of déjà vu for the Canadians, as Jeep Patrick hit another fantastic putt on eighteen, sealing a win for the American Bantam Boys for the second day in a row.

The Girls Division rounded out the day two matches as Canadians Yasmine Qureshi and Sara Cumby were challenged by the US team of Kayleigh Zemen and Teagan Devoe. After struggling for much of the front and finding themselves one down through the nine, the Canadian girls fought back and took the match on the sixteenth hole by a score of 3 & 2. Yasmine hit an outstanding tee shot to give the Canadians the upper hand on the hole, and they were able to two-putt for par to seal the victory, making the ladies 2-0 in the tournament.

The North America Cup resumes tomorrow morning at 7:40am with singles matches.  There are twelve points on the line tomorrow with CJGA Team Canada needed four points to win the North America Cup.

HAMILTON, ONTARIO – JULY 5, 2019 – The final day of the 19th annual PING Canadian Junior Match-Play Championship was completed Friday evening. The players were forced to play through extreme heat and two delays due to inclement weather, as the weather was not on their side. This did not affect the quality of the competition on display though, as all four divisions put on a true spectacle.

The Junior Boys division, which was a tight battle all week, ended with Mathieu Lafontaine facing off in the final against Eric Yun. It was a great match-up which saw two evenly matched players at their best. In the end Lafontaine, was able to defeat Yun by a score of 5 & 3 leading to him being crowned champion in the Junior Boy’s division, after a long week. “Winning is a good feeling” he said, “I played a good match, he did too…I was two up after two, so I just played safe”.

In the Junior Girls division, after a pair of intense semi finals, Nicole Gal was able to defeat Megan Miron by a score of 5 & 4, and Vaijayanti Bharkhada earned her spot in the final by defeating the top seed Raesa Sheikh by a score of 3 & 2. This led to a hard-fought final match which saw the two girls fight through the high temperatures and humidity, as well as a significant weather delay which occurred as they prepared to hit their tee shots on 18^th hole. After resuming play around 8:30 pm, Nicole Gal was able to claim victory and her place on the championship trophy on the 18^th hole.

Chad Huber took first place in the Bantam Boys division Chad Huber with a well deserved 3 & 2 victory over the young phenom Eric Zhao. Huber and Zhao earned their places in the final with semi-final victories against Isaiah Ellis and Cameron Colbran earlier in the day respectively. After the match ended, Chad was asked about what he felt the turning point in the match was, responding “probably on 11, when I made the birdie putt to go three up, and I knew that I had a cushion and I could just match him to win.” Overall the Bantam Boys had a great turnout for their division, with many talented players putting on a show over the course of the week.

The Bantam Girls division also saw their final match delayed by the late afternoon thunderstorms in the Hamilton region. Playing in the final match Alexa Ouellet and Kelly Zhao squared off after they were able to defeat Mia Wong and Lauren Gervais respectively during their semi final matches.  The girls were set-up to hit their approach shots into the par 5, 15^th hole when play was suspended, leaving the match in limbo with Alexa sitting 3up over her opponent.  The nearly 2 hour delay was not enough to nock Alexa’s mental game and once play resumed a birdie by Alexa awarded her the championship with a 4&3 victory.

Overall, the tournament was a great success, which saw many players bring their “A” game. Many spectators were thrilled to watch the outstanding golf that was on display, and it is safe to say many people will be looking forward to the 20^th annual Ping Canadian Junior Matchplay Championship partnered by Tourism Hamilton, which will return to King’s Forest next summer.

He was able to come back from two down after two holes and says he will look to “hit as many fairways as possible, sink a few more putts, and see how it goes” tomorrow in order to get himself through to the final against a tough opponent in Eric Yun. In the other Semi-Final match, we will see Dayton Price (12) square off against Mathieu LaFontaine (9), who was able to defeat the number one seed in the division, Noah Campbell (1) in an outstanding performance.

Her opponent, Raesa Sheikh (1) was able to carry over her stellar performances from the stroke-play, which put her in the first seed, by beating Skylar Kew (8). She goes into the semi-finals as the favourite and going into day four her strategy is “definitely the same, making sure I’m swinging through the ball as hard as I can, and going aggressive on the lines that I choose.” The other match in the division will see Nicole Gal (2) and Megan Miron (3) compete, in what is sure to be an exciting and tight match-up. Nicole was able to secure her spot with a par on the eighteenth hole to earn her spot, after a neck and neck match against her close friend, Katie Cranston (7). The Junior Girls division saw all top four seeds qualify for the semi-finals, meaning it is sure to be an enthralling division to watch.

Finally, in the Bantam Girls division, like the Junior Girls, saw all of the top four seeds in the division qualify for the semi-finals. The first match will kick off with Kelly Zhao (2) versus Lauren Gervais (3), in what is sure to be a neck and neck battle. Mia Wong (1), who put up one of the standout performances of the day and was able to win her match 7 & 5. She will face off against Alexa Ouellet (4), who is a fierce competitor and will not be scared to face-off against the division’s top seed.

Overall the day was a great success, with some exciting match-play which was a nice change of pace from the stroke-play that was played the fist two days. Heading into day four, the golfers will be excited to see who will be able to fend off the remaining competition and be able to call themselves champions.

Katie Cranston from the Junior Girls division got the tournament underway at 7:30am as the next 94 players continued to tee off until 9:40am. The players battled some light rain as they competed in the first half of the 36-hole stroke play competition with a goal of qualifying for the match play portion, which will be held Wednesday and Thursday, to ultimately determine the champions of each division.

Isaiah Ellis of the Bantam Boys division put himself in a strong position heading into day two, after shooting a division-best 72, putting him at even par after the first round. Closely behind him was Punn Chittaratlert who had a strong back nine putting him at one over, to keep the pressure on Isaiah heading into day two of stroke play. Cameron Colbran, a dark horse for round two, plans on trying to “Play his game tomorrow, not get carried away, and not worry about how the other people are playing” as he looks to secure his spot in the top twelve after a strong first round.

Lafontaine and Campbell hold the advantage mid-way through, however with four golfers within just two shots of them, there is still everything to play for tomorrow.

Finally, in the Junior Girls division it was a successful first day for Raesa Sheikh who’s score of 75 puts her at the top of the standings. Sheikh credited her birdie on hole eighteen for helping to power her to the top, saying “Eighteen was a tough, tough hole, especially playing in to the wind…so it really helped!”

The first day of the tournament was exciting, with some tremendous golf on display in all four divisions. The highlight of the day was on the fifth hole, when Matthew McRae hit a hole-in-one. “It felt pretty good.” McRae said, “I thought, you know I’ll hit a little punch 5 iron, and then I got pretty good contact, one good bounce, and it trickled over to the hole and disappeared!” He and the rest of the golfers will be looking to be at their best tomorrow morning for the second round of stroke play to secure their spot in the match-play portion of the tournament.

Round two gets underway tomorrow morning at 7:30 am

North York, ON (May 31, 2019) – The field is set for the Humber College PGM CJGA Ontario Junior Open for the weekend.  A full field of 90 juniors from across Ontario will compete on TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley’s North course in Caledon, Ontario Saturday and Sunday.

Competing in Junior and Bantam Boys & Girls divisions, juniors will be competing for coveted spots in the North America Cup which takes place July 23-26, 2019 at TPC Toronto on the Heathlands course.

A parkland-style layout that welcomes players with generous landing areas and naturally rolling fairways, the North course, formerly named Toot, offers golfers of all abilities a delightful experience from start to finish.

While its width off the tee may be benevolent, deep greenside bunkers and undulating putting surfaces put a premium on approaching pins from the right angles, providing a challenge that rewards good shots but tests those who get out of position.

The North course plays host annually to the Osprey Valley Open, an official event on the Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada, where some of the world’s top up-and-coming players compete to advance their careers closer to the PGA TOUR.

Schedule of Events

June 1 – First Round – 8:00am (split tee start)
June 2 – Second Round – 8:00am (split tee start)
