Sekulic and Iguchi take home Alberta Juniors’ top titles

In the 72 hole championship at the Coal Creek Golf Resort, it came down to last three for Max Sekulic to claim his long awaited junior title at provincials, with a four round total of 283 (-5), landing him one shot ahead of his nearest challenger.

“It’s huge, I remember when I was 11 and 12, I missed the cut both years. It made me really want it. I always thought winning it would be super cool. To be able to do it in my last year is awesome,” he says.

Matt Bean and Chandler McDowell also earned their well-deserved tickets, with Sekulic, to the 2017 Canadian Junior Boys Championship. Kai Iguchi held his own in the final round, winning the Juvenile division finishing fourth overall with an even par total (288).

The Championship was a close contest all week long, with the top three finishing within three strokes of one another. Iguchi held his own in Sekulic and Bean’s group, but says he could feel the pressure during the last critical holes.

“It was definitely nerve racking. It is my first time doing that well coming into the last day. I just tried to go out and play golf.”

The 2017 Canadian Junior Boys Championship will be held at the Caratiqui Golf and Country Club from July 31st to Aug. 3rd in Kingston, Ontario.
