Coquitlam golfer A.J. Ewart has been chosen to compete for Team Canada.
A group of young men and women were recently selected to represent the Canadian national and development teams. The teams are comprised of 16 elite junior golfers, and 17-year-old Ewart was among them.
Ewart is the lone returning member to the men’s development squad in 2017, following a season that featured runner-up finishes at the B.C. Junior and Amateur Boys Championships. The Pitt Meadows Golf Club member tied for 14th among Canadian junior boys.
In 2015, Ewart garnered a runner-up finish at the CN Future Links Prairie Championship alongside a win at the B.C. Juvenile Championships.
Some highlights of his career include:
• A second-place finish at the 2016 B.C. Men’s Amateur Championship;
• second at the 2016 B.C. Junior Boys’ Championship;
• tied for fourth at the 2016 Winn Grips Heather Farr Classic hosted by Longbow Golf Club;
• second at the 2016 CJGA Western Jr (under-19);
• fourth at 2016 CJGA Junior at Cordova Bay (u-19).
Ewart had a remarkable season on the CJGA circuit in 2013, winning a total of five events.
