Melfort Golf and Country Club Set To Host Saskatchewan PGA Junior Championship August 20, 2004 MARKHAM, ON- The Saskatchewan portion of the 2004 Canadian Junior Golf Association schedule concludes this upcoming week at Melfort Golf & Country Club, in Melfort, Sask. Competition is expected to be intense in each division as several players with podium finishes this year are registered to play. In the Boys 14-16 Division, 16-year-old Swift Current, Sask. native Ryan Wiebe is looking for his second CJGA victory of the season, having won his flight at the Printwest Junior Open Classic back in July, at Wascana Golf & Country Club, in Regina, Sask. As for 16-year-old product of Meadow Lake, Sask. Chris Tupper, he finished second in his division at Dakota Dunes Golf Links, in Saskatoon, Sask. In the Boys 13 & Under Division, Troy Bulmer, 13, of Melfort, Sask. has a second place finish under his belt as does Jordan Hegglin, 12, of Earl Grey, Sask. so there is no doubt that the duo have the potential to make it to the top of the winner's circle.
