Battlefords golfer wins Red Deer tournament
After winning school and club tournament championships, a Battlefords 14-year-old finally won the big one.
Colby Friedrich went to Red Deer June 11 and 12 and came home bearing a trophy after winning the bantam boys division in the Maple Leaf Junior Tour (MJT) tournament.
Friedrich said this is his first win at a bigger tournament. “I feel like I have a chance to win every tournament, it’s just a matter of hitting the shots to give myself the chance. I had solid ball striking and putted well,” he said.
The Maple Leaf Tour has tournaments all over the country, culminating with the championships in Phoenix, Arizona in November. The next event in Saskatchewan is in Estevan July 2-3.
