“The other competitors gave me a good run for my money,” said Galvon, the first time Future Links champion. “I was in the zone today and I hit the ball unbelievably.”

Mitchell Fox of Okotoks, Alta. finished three-shots off the lead with an even-par three-day-total of 216, while Brock Robillard of Calgary was one-shot back of Fox with a tournament-total 217. Making an excellent run for fourth position was Nicolas Archambault of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. who shot a six-under 66 in the final round to finish with a three-day-total of 220, tied with Mathieu Rivard of Granby, Que. In sixth position Charles-Étienne Boucher of Montréal tied with Richard Conlin of Richmond, B.C. at 223, ten-strokes off the lead.


In the Junior Girls division Bari-Lynn Erais of Lethbridge, Alta. played another consistent round shooting a four-over 76 to finish with a tournament-total 235 and her first career Future Links victory. Pamela Burneski of Surrey, B.C. finished second with a three-day-total of 241, six shots back. Following close in third position was Gabrielle Cry of Blainville, Que. who shot a tournament-total 242 while three-time Bantam Girls champion Jessica Wallace of Langley, B.C. finished with a total of 243.



By winning the Junior Boys division, Galvon also earned an exemption into the 2005 Canadian Junior Championship, August 7-11 at Craigowan Golf & Country Club in Woodstock, Ont. As well, the top three finishers in the Junior Girls division earned exemptions into a BMO Financial Group Canadian Women’s Tour event.


In the Bantam Boys division, Scott Lowe of Calgary led wire to wire shooting a final-round 80 and a tournament-total 239 to finish three-shots ahead of Scott Malo of Calgary who finished with a tournament-total 242. 11-year old Garrett Neiles of Winnipeg, Man. completed his first Future Links Championship with final-round 86 and a tournament-total 267.
