There were major winners galore Sunday at Fox Hopyard Golf Club in East Haddam.
Andy Mai of Suffield and Kelly Whaley of Farmington captured their divisions in the Jack Kelly PGA Junior Tournament of Champions, the Connecticut Section PGA Junior Golf Tour Championship.
Mai shot a bogey-free, 5-under-par 66 for a five-stroke victory over Jeffrey Realejo of Portland and Anthony Vecchiarelli of Agawam, Mass. John Flaherty of Glastonbury shot 72 to finish fourth and win the boys player of the year award.
Whaley had one birdie, two bogeys and two double bogeys in a 5-over 76 and a four-stroke victory over Nathalie Filler of Bloomfield and player of the year Elizabeth DiVincentis of Durham, who won a staggering 11 times.
Mike Steinberg of West Hartford and Stephanie Winslow of Farmington received the Connecticut Section PGA's Jack Kelly Junior Golf Sportsmanship Award, annually presented to the boy and girl JGA members who best exemplify fair play, sportsmanship, and character.
