Chang, only eight years of age, shot a 75 in her qualifier, good for three-over-par. Her score was 24 strokes fewer than runner-up Cassandra Smith (99) of Brampton. Burlington native Matea Boras finished in third with a score of 102. “I am so happy about winning, I had some really good chips,” Chang said in a statement. “I am 8. I don't really feel any pressure.” The 8U age group cleared 3,000 yards of golf on the day. Across the board, the girls were given a par 72, while the boys dealt with a par 71 across each age group. The 8U boys saw Maple-native Derek Zhao also shoot 75 on the day, beating out Scarborough's native Harrison Doucet by two strokes. “I feel very happy, this is amazing! The highlight was when I putted two birdies. When the game wasn't going as planned, I just took deep breaths and tried to remember what my coach told me,” said Zhao. The Girls 9-10 division, with 4,405 yards of play, saw Burlington resident Mirela Boras shoot 89 to take home first spot, edging out Amanda Zhang by one stroke. The Boys 9-10 division saw Markham's Bruce Wang take home first spot with a 79. In the final age range, the Girls 11-12 saw Oakville-native Kaprice Park shoot 73, good for one-over-par.
