Sarah Beqaj of Toronto Golf Club leads the Investors Group Junior Girls Championship after the second round. She made a Maple City Golf and Country Club course record today with a 67. She was two-under on the front nine with three birdies and a bogey, and finished out the back nine three-under with three birdies.
“I hit maybe five fairways and four greens I could not hit a fairway for my life but I had 21 putts. Anything that I needed to make I did make. If I was inside 15 feet I was ok … putting was the strength today” – Beqaj
Taylor Kehoe of West Haven Golf and Country Club led the championship for the first round, but after the second round fell to 3rd place with a 73 on the course today.
