Playing Mill Run’s Grist and Wheel courses, Tsui cruised to a six-stroke victory over Sir William Mulock Ravens’ Hayley Brown, who carded an 81.
Brown and third-place finisher Delaney Howson (83) combined to lead the Ravens to a seven-stroke victory in the team standings, ahead of Aurora Golden Eagles.
In boys action, Carson Pickford carded a two-over-par 74 for a one-stroke victory as the Newmarket Raiders captured top spot at the York Region Athletic Association boys golf qualifying tournament Monday at Cardinal Golf Club.
Pickford edged Markham Marauders’ Patrick McCrae and Javier Diaz of the Holy Cross Hawks, who both finished at three-over 75.
In the team standings, the Raiders three-member team scored 233 to claim a six-stroke victory over Holy Cross (239). The Mulock Ravens finished at 242.
In junior, the Dr. G.W. Williams Wildcats edged the Dr. J. M. Denison Huskies by one stroke as Shymal Nagindas (73), Michael Vance (74) and Wesley Brown (85) combined to shoot 232.
