Another well deserving athlete was awarded at the 2017 Sportsman Dinner.

After an outstanding year of play on the golf course, Jayden Dudas was awarded with the Boston Pizza Estevan and District Male Athlete of the Year Award.

The grade 9 student from ECS talked about how it felt to win.

"I was pretty honored and proud, I worked hard all year for this."

"It came as a surprise when I got the award," he said humbly.

From a young age, Jayden fell in love with the sport and hasn't looked back since.

"I picked up a club and I loved it."

"I started getting good at it and it took off from there," added Dudas

A recap of the year saw him participating in five tournaments on the season and coming away with one first place triumph and four second place finishes.

Along with his individual tournament accolades, he was part of the ECS golf team who won gold at provincials.

Jayden finished the year ranked first place in Saskatchewan and fifth overall in the country for his category.
