Ryan McMillan and Chaewon Baek are off to their respective Canadian junior championships after winning the Future Links Prairie Championship Driven By Acura at TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club.
McMillan, a 17-year-old Winnipeg-based golfer, hit a sizzling 68 Thursday on the final day of the three day tournament. His 211 over the three days was four strokes better than Kade Johnson from Yorkton in second place and his final round was tied for the best round of the week with Jacob Kydd from Regina on Tuesday.
Baek, a 13-year-old from Langley, B.C. won the event after figuring out the wind in the first couple of days. On the first day, Baek eagled the par-five third hole at Woodlawn. Her final round 77 was good for a total of 226 for the tournament and nine strokes over Angela Arora of Surrey, B.C. Arora hit an even par 72 Thursday.
The best local score was Jayden Dudas, 14, who was tied for 18th with a three-day score of 235. For more on the story, see the July 12, 2017 edition of the Mercury.
