[ North Vancouver, BC – May 1, 2024 ] – Sixteen-year-old Anthony Whiting, a lower mainland resident from North Vancouver, has once again proven his amazing skills on the golf course by clinching victory at the two-day MJT Maui Jim Series at Tsawwassen Springs tournament. Hosted by the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT), the tournament witnessed Whiting’s elite performance, concluding in a remarkable win.

His stellar performance included seven birdies on day one and four birdies on day two, securing his victory with a golf score of 65/71, winning by an impressive 8 shots.
Whiting began his golf journey at the age of 11, and his dedication and hard work have propelled him to remarkable heights. Under the guidance of North Vancouver golf professional, Bryn Parry since 2021, Whiting has continuously honed his skills, becoming a scratch golfer at the age of 15. His journey is marked by milestones, including becoming the captain of his high school’s senior boy’s golf team at West Vancouver Secondary School in grade 8, a feat unprecedented in the school’s history.
Whiting’s recent triumph at the MJT Maui Jim Series tournament has not only solidified his position as a rising star in Canadian junior golf but has also earned him a sought-after spot in the prestigious Callaway FCG World Junior Championships in Rancho Mirage Golf Club, Palm Desert, CA. Additionally, his victory qualifies him for two other prominent MJT Tours, including the MJT Future Stars Invitational and the 2024 MJT East Coast Junior Championship at Mountain Woods GC in Moncton, New Brunswick.
