PITT MEADOWS, BC – It took seven extra holes but A Ram Choi of Surrey, B.C. got it done and captured the B.C. junior girls title today at Golden Eagle Golf Course in Pitt Meadows, B.C.
“I came into this tournament just wanting a spot on the B.C. team,” says Choi. “To play on the team as the champion is amazing.”
Soo Bin Kim of Port Coquitlam, B.C. entered the final round four shots ahead of the field but started out the day with bogeys on the first four holes then added three more on the back nine to finish the day at 5-over par 75. Choi took advantage of the opportunity and tied up the top spot on the leaderboard after firing five birdies on the day for 1-over 71.
