14-Year-Old Wins Cary Classic Golf Tournament In Caribou

A County Staple Returns For Another Year

The 38th Cary Classic golf tournament was held over the weekend at Caribou Country Club in windy conditions. 90 golfers took to the course on Saturday competing in men's and women's divisions with over $6,000 in prizes up for grabs. This tournament has been extremely competitive in recent years, with champions being crowned after a playoff.

The talent pool in Maine is getting deeper

Maine has become immersed in the progression of young basketball phenom, Cooper Flagg, perhaps we should be paying attention to a teenage golfer in Aroostook County. This year's Cary Classic was won by a young golfer that appears to be a cut above the rest.

The Cary Classic Winner is how old?

14-Year-old Michael Bruce of Presque Isle Country Club, was the story of the day. The teen sensation shot an even par 72 for the 18-hole round. That score was low enough to win the Cary Classic by 2 strokes. Bruce has been playing golf for several years and is no stranger to the tournament scene across Aroostook County. At just 14 years old, Michael may want to look into a trophy shed instead of a trophy room. I hope that Michael's success can help grow the game of golf with the younger generations.
