Montréal, July 23, 2025 – No fewer than 120 golfers hit the greens at Club de golf de La Vallée du Richelieu for the Bantam, Pee-Wee, and Mosquito Championship on July 21 and 22, in Sainte-Julie.

Sawyer Scatcherd (Rideau View) finished third at +1 (145).

 

With a cumulative score of +6, Mylee Murillo Beaudoin (Blainvillier) won the girls' bantam division. Like Jérémie Hébert, her victory earned her an exemption to the Canadian U15 Championship scheduled for the end of August.
