Red Deer’s Eileen Park finished T23 at +11 at this week’s 67th Canadian Junior Girls Championship — held at The Marshes Golf Club in Ottawa.

Just 13, Park shot rounds of 76-74-72-77, 22 strokes behind Brokenshire Trophy winner Yeji Kwon, who’s three years older and joins Brooke Henderson on the prestigious list of the tournament’s champions.

Park’s score was good enough for a 15th place finish in the Juvenile division.

Park recently won the Alberta Golf U19 Championship, which qualified her to compete in Ottawa.
