Samuel Hamelin took home the title this week in the junior boys age group at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour PGA of Alberta Junior Championship.
The 18-year-old from Settler fired a three-day total of 219 to win the title by four strokes at Mckenzie Meadows Golf Course in Calgary. He shot an even-par 72 in the final round Wednesday to earn the victory.
“I am very proud of myself for this win because I have been injured for the past two months. It feels really good to win this event,” Hamelin said in an MJT press release.
Brandon Grabo of Lacombe finished eighth with a three-day total of 240 in the junior age group.
Logan Hill, 21 of Red Deer, shot a 219 and finished five shots back of Greg Billingsley who won the Collegiate championship.
