A couple of scintillating below par rounds at provincials in Swift Current last week has given Estevan's Jayden Dudas a spot as Team Saskatchewan's alternate at nationals next month.
Dudas, 14, fired a 78-70-71 (219) over three rounds at Chinook Golf Course to rank fourth among U19 male golfers at the 91st annual Saskatchewan Junior Men's Championship July 10-12. His score was tied with third place finisher Andrew Campbell (68-76-75) but the 17-year-old Campbell was awarded the spot on the provincial team due to tiebreakers.
Dudas won the provincial U15 Championship at the event and fired five birdies as part of his final round. His score was 38 strokes better than his second place competitor, Warman's Davis Czuy.
The race to the top was tight as Humboldt's Tayden Wallin won the championship with a score of 75-69-70 (214).
Jean-Luc Dupuis finished 80-77-83 (240) for 24th spot, as Reagan Robinson finished in a tie for 29th at 85-84-78 (247). Chase Gedak was in 32nd place with 80-85-85 (250), Jace Carlisle was 37th with 93-83-85 (261) and Logan Chernoff was 39th with 87-93-86 (266).
