By The Nelson Daily Sports
Ryan Fullerton took advantage of a small field to capture his first ever Zone One West Kootenay Junior Golf tour title Sunday at the Nakusp course.
“Ryan played solid golf all day and sealed the victory sticking his approach on 18 to five feet and then making the birdie putt,” said zone coordinator Rob McKay.
“Ryan has played the circuit for three years and he was well deserving of the win.”
Brenan Moroney of Rossland/Trail won the 17-18 division while in the 15-16 category Brett Mengler of the host Nakusp course took first ahead of Amber Arnold from Castlegar.
The 14 and under division went to a playoff with Braden McKay from RTCC beating Carson Arcuri from Granite Point on the second playoff hole.
On the first playoff hole Carson made a fantastic par save from the bunker, but on the second hole of the playoff his approach ran through the green and he was not able to get up and down.
In the Net division the McInnes brothers from Nakusp took honors. Nathyn McInnes took the 15 – 18 year old division with a net 67 and Dugan the 14 and under with a net 63.
In the skill prizes Brenan Moroney and Braden McKay both dominated. Both kids won the KP and LD in their age divisions.
