The Niagara Junior Tour had it’s second event of the year at Rolling Meadows Golf Course in Niagara Falls on Wednesday, July 8th. The course was in immaculate shape thanks to Ted Bishop and his staff and the clubhouse staff was its usual gracious hosts with so many thanks to Mike Harris. The players truly enjoyed the test of golf and there were some fine scores and some new winners.
Under 19 Division
Once again the Under 19 division needed a playoff to determine the winner. Three players tied at 71, Freddie Gualtieri of Lookout Point, Andrew Pauls and Nolan vonKalekreuth of Bridewater. The playoff was held on the demanding 18th hole and after a wayward drive right, Freddie stuck his approach shot to 8 feet. Nolan hit his ball long from the right rough and was faced with a tough up and down. Andrew hit the front of the green a long distance away and after leaving his first putt a fair distance from the hole he calmly rolled it in for his par. After Nolan had made a bogey the stage was set for Freddie to putt for the win. His putt found the center of the hole for Freddie’s first victory on the Niagara Junior tour.
Tied for fourth were Justin Dicienzo, Jake Dupuis and Eric MacLean
Under 17 Division
Justin Dicienzo of St. Catharines captured his second straight Under 17 division win shooting three over par 73. Second went to Ethan Bennett of Twenty Valley firing 74, third was Sparky MacLean 77 and fourth was Rein Zenka 78.
Under 15 Division
Jason Maloney had the low round of the day in capturing the Under 15 division shooting a fine 2 under par 68. Jason fired consistent nines of 34, including 5 birdies to win by 6 strokes over first tournament winner Ethan Siebert. Third was Jack Day and rounding out the top 4 was R J Derhodge at 83
Girls Division
Susan Leone of Beechwood captured her first ever event on the Niagara Junior Tour carding a 79 good enough for a one shot victory over Courtney White also of Beechwood at 80. Third spot went to Taylor Simoneau of St. Catharines at 82 and fourth was Kayla Burke of Whiskey Run.
