The qualifier featured 70 of Canada’s top junior athletes at the challenging Chilliwack Golf Club in British Columbia. The qualifier offers 3 spots into the field for the 78th US Junior Amateur Championship, to be held at Saucon Valley C.C. in Bethlehem, PA, from July 20-25, 2026.
Tucker shot an impressive 4-under par round of 68 that featured an eagle and four birdies. His performance had placed him in a 3-person playoff for the final qualifying spot, where he earned the 1st alternate position after a 7-hole playoff.
Tucker will await a call from the USGA as he remains high on the alternate list for what is well known as the best junior tournament in the world, the 78th US Junior Amateur Championship.
Tucker is a member of the Nova Scotia Junior Development Team and has shown tremendous dedication to improving in every aspect of the game. His desire to compete at the highest levels in junior golf is proving that his work in Nova Scotia is paying off at the national and international stage.
Congratulations on a great performance, Tucker, and Nova Scotia will be cheering you on as we hope to see you compete in Pennsylvania in late July.
