Brothers Finish 1st & 2nd in CISAA Jr. Boys’ Golf Championship
It was a battle between the brothers last month at the CISAA Jr. Boys’ Golf Championship at Woodington Lakes Golf Course in Tottenham. Alex Wyndham-West, a Grade 9 student at CDS, won the U16 Division gold medal with a round of 76, beating his older brother James (Grade 10), last year’s gold medalist, by one stroke.
It’s not the first time Alex beat his brother, he won the first tournament of the CISAA season as well.
Alex, a naturally gifted athlete, started playing golf when he was eight years old. He competed for the first time at a Maple Leaf Junior Tour event in 2012 and finished 2nd in the 11-13 age category.
His coach at CDS, Jim Petropolous, is complimentary of Alex’s overall game. “His game is good; it’s an all-around game. He can hit the tee shot; he is capable of hitting the fairway woods, irons and putting. All around, he has shown this year that he is quite capable of playing a good game of golf. I’d love to see him now take it to the next level and continue to improve.”
The CDS team of Alex, James, Thomas Russell and Alex Sward finished a strong second. Congratulations to all of them, especially Alex and James for their 1st and 2nd CISAA finish!
