""Nikashantess Penashue continued his championship form, again stepping into NLGA history, to become the first golfer in the province’s history to hold both the Junior Boy’s and Men’s Amateur provincial titles at the same time. <\/p>\n

Penashue fired a final round of 74 to go with 79-74-80 for a 4 round total of 307 to claim his first Junior Boy’s Provincial title. Penashue, playing from the Amaruk Golf Club in Goose Bay, never relinquished his final round lead, albeit the defending Junior Champion, Devin Pittman matched Nik’s front nine score of even par 36. <\/p>\n
