Former Thompson resident Connor Shaw finished 10th overall at the Manitoba Men's Junior Championship July 13-16 at Teulon Golf & Country Club and Niakwa Country Club.

Shaw, now living in Dauphin, was six over par in the final round, to finish at +22, 18 strokes behind champion Aaron Cockerill from the Teulon Golf & Country Club.

His previous round was five over par, while the second round was his best of the tournament, a three-over 75. Shaw opened the tournament with a score of 80.

He hit nine birdies through the tournament along with 23 bogeys and four double bogeys. He managed par on half of the holes through the four rounds.
