Fresh off being the top Canadian at the Junior Girls World Golf Championships, Richmond’s Katherine Chan has been named to Golf Canada’s 2016 National Development Squad.
The 15-year-old Quilchena Golf and Country Club junior is joined by two other B.C. players — Hannah Lee (Surrey) and Tiffany Kong (Vancouver), along with Ontario’s Grace St-Germain (Ottawa) and Chloe Currie (Mississauga).
The 19 and under development squad is designed to help facilitate the continued development of Canada’s top young talents. The group will be coached by Anna Carroll.
“Supporting, developing and nurturing Canada’s future stars remains to be at the core of our primary objectives. We are committed to investing in high performance talent through elite coaching, training, sport science and preparation,” said Jeff Thompson, Golf Canada’s Chief Sport Officer.
At the Junior Worlds, Chan carded rounds of 79-75-74-75 to finish tied for 25th in the 15-country event which took place at the Marshes Golf Club in Ottawa.
