By Brad Ziemer, British Columbia Golf
SECHELT, B.C. (August 20, 2024) - Tim Hachey of Osoyoos and Noah Reddicopp of Abbotsford both fired four-under 68s and share the lead after the first round of the B.C. Juvenile Boys Championship at Blue Ocean Golf Club in Sechelt.
The 14-year-old Reddicopp had seven birdies in his round, while Hachey, 16, had five of his own. They hold a one-shot lead over YuDa Nam of Coquitlam and Luke Bernakevitch of Victoria. Three players — Troy Gadalla of Vancouver, DJ Crowe of Armstrong and Jeffrey Jung of Surrey— are tied for fifth at two-under par. The 54-hole Juvenile Championship is for players aged 16 and under.
The Juvenile Girls Championship is also being held at Blue Ocean. The girls’ competition is also being tightly contested. West Vancouver’s Jenny Guo shot the only sub-par round of the opening day — a one-under 71 — that has the 12-year-old one shot in front of Maggie Zhang of Richmond.
Guo had five birdies in her round, which would have been lower if not for a triple-bogey seven on the par 4 16th hole. Joanna Kim of Langley and Jennifer Zou of Port Coquitlam are tied for third at one-over par.
A total of 60 boys and 21 girls are competing at Blue Ocean.
