Coquitlam golfer Jisoo Keel captured the junior girls division title at a rainy CN Future Links Pacific Golf Championship in Cobble Hill, B.C., on the weekend.

The 15-year-old Keel carded a 1-under 141, shooting 71 in the first round and 70 in the second, giving her a five shot victory over 18-year-old Josee Doyon of Quebec.

Bad weather forced the cancellation of the final round of the 36-hold championship, but Keel will still earn her exemption to the 2011 Royale Cup Canadian Junior Girls Championship, which is expected to be held in August in Richmond. The victory also gives her an exemption to play in a future CN Canadian Women's Tour event.
