WEYBURN – Canada’s number-one played Junior Golf Tour, the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour, stopped in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on July 25-26, hosting both Mini (12U) and Junior (U19) Tour stops with close to 150 competitive young golfers taking part altogether.
In the Junior Tour event, the MJT-Golf Saskatchewan Order of Merit (OOM) Series at Moon Lake Golf and Country Club, a packed field competed for titles in six divisions through some stormy weather.
Darien Herlick, 16, of Weyburn, won the MJT Juvenile Boys division title by one stroke with strong rounds of 73 and 73, for a total score of 146, also securing his second MJT victory of the 2022 season.
In his first round, he had five birdies, and three in the second round.
“All my hard work is paying off, finally. I didn’t lose one ball this tournament, which was very difficult with these rainy and windy conditions,” said Darien.
The next stop in the province is the MJT-Golf Saskatchewan OOM Series at Elk Ridge Resort in Waskesiu, Sask., on August 13-14.
