Han Closes With Even-Par 72 to Take CJGA British Columbia PGA Junior Championship June 9th, 2005 DELTA, B.C.- The final round of the Canadian Junior Golf Association's (CJGA) British Columbia PGA Junior Championship was completed today at the Links at Boundary Bay in Delta, B.C. After Saturday's extremely difficult weather conditions, the wind died down a bit on Sunday, resulting in some lower scores highlighted by a final round 72 by Boys 14-16 Division winner Ren Han, 16, of Richmond, B.C. Han opened with 34 on the front nine to create a sizeable margin in the division heading into the back nine. He finished at even-par 72 for a 147 total to earn his first CJGA division title of 2005. "Overall, I'm pretty happy with the way I played," said Han. "I putted really well today." Second place in the division went to Zachary MacDougall, 16, of Coquitlam, B.C. at 152. In third was Joon Lee, 15, of Surrey, B.C. at 158. Devin Carrey, 18, of South Surrey, B.C. led from start to finish to capture the Boys 17-19 Division by two strokes ahead of Josh Logan, 18, of Nanaimo, B.C. "I kept it together down the stretch," said Carrey, who trailed by three with six holes to play. "The wind really picked up on the back nine which made it pretty tough." The win is Carrey's second on tour in 2005. Third place in the division went to Richard Choi, 18, of Abbotsford, B.C. at 153. Adam Svensson, 11, of Surrey, B.C. closed with a final round 74 to earn his first division title of 2005 in the Boys 13 & Under Division. He finished at 151. "I was able to keep the ball low today," said Svensson. "The turning point for me was my opening nine 35." James Fahy, 13, of Vancouver, B.C. finished in second at 156. In a tie for third were Matt Hamilton, 13, of West Vancouver, B.C. and Tom Xue, 13, of Richmond, B.C. A playoff decided the Girls Division title as Julie Kim, 17, of Port Coquitlam, B.C. and Sue Kim, 14, of Langley, B.C. completed 36 holes deadlocked at 158. Sue Kim parred the third extra hole to capture the division. "The playoff was pretty intense," said Sue Kim. Julie Kim drained two long putts to extend the playoff to three holes.
