After shooting a three-over 75 in the first round of the Canadian Junior Girls Championship, Yeji Kwon really wasn’t thinking about winning the event.
She was more concerned about fixing her swing. “After that 75, I was really unhappy with my shots in general, so after the round I made a couple of changes to try and get my swing more on plane,” Kwon said. “That seemed to help.”
Did it ever. The 16-year-old Port Coquitlam resident followed up with rounds of 67, 65 and 70 and not only won the championship, but beat the rest of the field by nine shots at The Marshes Golf Club in Ottawa.
