Keel unreal during junior golf tourney

Coquitlam's Jisoo Keel got the opening round of the Royale Cup Canadian Junior Girls Championship off to a good start.

Coquitlam's Jisoo Keel got the opening round of the Royale Cup Canadian Junior Girls Championship off to a good start.

The 15-year-old golfer fired a bogey-free opening to lead the individual stroke play and the juvenile division at the event, held at the QGolf Club in Richmond this week.

Going bogey-free in the round was a first for Keel, who leads the juvenile division by one stroke over fellow Coquitlam golfer Ally Shin.

"The course was in amazing condition," Keel said. "The putts were really rolling true."

Keel has continued her stellar 2011 season, which included a victory at the CN Future Links Pacific and a second-place finish on the CN Canadian Women's Tour Order of Merit.

Her play has earned her an exemption into the CN CanadianWomen's Open at Hillsdale Gold and Country Club later this month.
