Learning to bounce back after a loss takes time and determination for athletes in all sports.
For 麻豆精选鈥檚 Cooper Humphreys, that鈥檚 exactly what is needed after the 14-year-old missed the cut at the 115th Canadian Men鈥檚 Amateur Championship that concluded earlier this week.
鈥淭he courses were tough and very nice, but I was very disappointed with how I played,鈥� said Humphreys.
鈥淥verall though, it was a good experience.鈥�

But Humphreys has little time to shake off the undesirable finish before his next championship test starts only a few days after missing the cut at Glen Arbour Golf Course in Nova Scotia.
The Canadian Junior Boys Championships start Aug. 11 at Covered Bridge Golf and Country Club in New Brunswick. Humphreys will put his skills to the test against 156 junior golfers from 10 provinces.
The 81st annual tournament has been a milestone in numerous professional and amateur careers from Canadian golfers including Doug Silverberg and George Knudson (members of the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame).
鈥淐overed Bridge Golf & Country Club will be a great platform to showcase the talents of Canada鈥檚 best junior golfers,鈥� said tournament director Akash Patel.

Humphreys recently grabbed a third-place finish at the B.C. Men鈥檚 Amateur Golf Championship in Pemberton, B.C. in early July.
He鈥檒l look to return to that form ahead of tee-off on Sunday at Covered Bridge.
