Renaud surges to lead at Investors Group Ontario Junior Boys’ Championship
Golf Ontario – MINETT— While many players had their struggles on the very difficult course at The Rock, Sudbury’s Tristan Renaud was putting together quite the opening round at Golf Ontario’s Investors Group Junior Boys’ Championship on July 4.
Renaud was one of 155 players to tee it up for the championship but at the conclusion of the round, the Idylwylde Golf & Country Club member was the only player under par thanks to a two-under (68). The 16-year-old Renaud will take a two-shot lead into the second round.
Sitting in a tie for second are Mississauga’s Sudarshan Yellamaraju and Stoney Creek’s Johnny Travale at even par (70). Both competitors have already been successful at the provincial level. For Yellamaraju, from Blue Springs Golf Club, he was the co-silver medallist at the Junior Boys’ Spring Classic earlier this year. As for Travale, from Hamilton Golf & Country Club, he captured the Ontario Juvenile Boys’ Championship just last season.
Rounding out the top five are King City’s Michael von Schalburg, who finished the round at one-over (71), and Burlington’s Marcus Khaw, who sits at two-over (72).
The action continues tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m. As always, spectators are welcome to take in the action and admission is free. For more information, including pairings and the leaderboard, see the tournament site at: https://gao.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/gao17/event/gao174/index.htm
