Richmond Hill, ON – As Shauna Liu continued her lead heading into the final round, resilience and determination were the focal points of day 3 of the Ontario Junior (U19) Girls Championship at Summit Golf & Country Club. With extremely wet conditions delaying the start time, players had to battle against mother nature throughout the day. The competitors fought hard to move up in the leaderboard as the field became smaller. Many players moved up and down in their attempt to stake their claim to the title.
Our three-day leader Shauna Liu of Station Creek Golf Club continued to demonstrate her great play with some clutch putts to save par and great play off the tee. Facing stiff competition from Team Ontario’s Joline Truong who is only 3 shots back, sitting in second place going into the last day. Team Ontario’s Aryn Matthews and Julia Alexander-Carew are both tied for third place, which will ensure that round 4 of the tournament is going to be a thrilling event. With an array of high-calibre golfers battling it out on the final day of the 2023 Ontario Junior (U19) Girls Championship, it will surely be one to remember.
