Langley’s Rebecca Jiang won her age category in last weekend’s Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour competition at Swan-e-set Bay in Pitt Meadows.

Jiang, 17, stormed back Sunday to erase a four-shot deficit that had put her behind Surrey’s Kate Choi.

Jiang finished with 74 on Sunday for a two-day total of 155 and the win in the Girls 15-18 category.

“I feel proud to have won my division title, there were some very good golfers playing today,” she said.

The Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour is run by the PGA of Canada Professionals and is dubbed the “road to college golf” in Canada.
