By The Nelson Daily Sports
Tyler McKay concluded the Zone One West Kootenay Junior Golf circuit the way he started – with a victory.
The Birchank golfer fired a 1-under-par 107 to edge Brenan Moroney and capture the Zone One West Kootenay Junior Golf title Sunday at the Balfour Golf Club.
The tour championship was originally scheduled to be 36 holes, but was shortened to 27 holes.
McKay opened the day with a first round two under par score of 70, three shots better than Braden McKay’s 73 and nine better than Moroney. Only Moroney and Braden McKay had a mathematical chance to catch Tyler McKay for Player of The Year.
However, McKay played the afternoon round in one over par to finished the tournament one under par and three shots better than Braden McKay.
Moroney finished third in the tour championship and secured top spot for the season in the 17 and 18 year division.
Braden McKay was top player in the 15 and 16 year division and Aiden Browell took home the trophy for the 14 and under division.
Carson Arcuri from Granite Point was awarded the prestigious Emily Beauchamp Award. This is given to the player who best demonstrates ability, sportsmanship, dedication and improvement.
A number of local juniors will be continuing their competitive schedules very soon. Tyler and Braden McKay will be attempting to qualify for the US Junior next week.
