Chris Wilson and Selena Costabile have been working with Gord Burns the past 3 seasons and have seen their golf games elevate to a world class level. Chris missed earning his full status on The Korn Ferry Tour for 2023 by 1 shot , but did receive an invitation to join Team Canada’s Young Pro Squad , which will help him in many ways to ultimately achieve his goal of playing on the PGA Tour one day. Below is a snapshot of Chris’ record in 2022.
Selena had an equally impressive year on the links, which saw her receive an exemption into the CN Canadian Women’s Open. Selena also found herself in contention to win in some Epson Tour events in 2022, further deepening her vault of experience heading into 2023 again as a second year member of Team Canada.
Alissa Xu had one of the best years of any junior in the country last season with a list of accomplishments that was headed by a runner up finish in the 2022 Canadian Women’s Amateur. To go with that accomplishment, was a provincial title in the U17 championship and an AJGA junior victory. Alissa also earned AJGA Academic All-American status with amazing results in the classroom as well as the links, which provided her the opportunity to sign with Ivy league Dartmouth College starting this fall. Team Canada made a nice selection in inviting Alissa to be a part of the NextGen squad in 2023. Congratulations to these fine players on making steady gains and amazing accomplishments on their journeys to great golf!! All the best in 2023.
