Liu, Park Lead Canada’s Teams at World Junior Girls Golf Championship in Brampton
Shauna Liu and Nobelle Park lead Canada’s squads in a 24-team event as the country seeks a second title after winning in 2023.
The World Junior Girls Golf Championship returns to Brampton Golf Club from September 30 to October 3, with Shauna Liu of Maple, Ont., and Nobelle Park of Oakville, Ont., headlining Canada's two teams.
Canada won its first championship in 2023 when Brampton Golf Club last hosted the event, establishing the nation as a contender in junior women's golf.
Liu and Clairey Lin of Langley, B.C., who earned silver medals the past two years, lead Canada 1 with Vancouver's Jodie Han; Park leads Canada 2 with Eileen Park of Red Deer, Alta., and Vancouver's Ruihan Kendria Wang.
Meanwhile, 17-year-old Huang recently tied for fourth at the CPKC Women's Open in Edmonton, demonstrating the pipeline of talent advancing from junior competition to professional tours.
Featuring 24 three-player teams representing 23 countries, the 11th edition underscores the championship's status as a premier global platform for developing junior women golfers.
