Winning two AJGA events this summer in sudden death playoffs, as well as shooting a closing round 65 on the U of M course in winning the U.S. Junior qualifier, proves that he has the game and guts to be very successful here at Michigan. We are excited that he has chosen the University of Michigan to help him reach his goals academically and athletically."

He was a member of the Canadian team at the inaugural Canada-Ireland Junior Challenge in Ireland and the Ontario team at the Can-Am Days Challenge in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Dore competed in 2001 and 2002 United States Junior Amateur Championships.
A member of the American Junior Golf Association, he was a 2002 AJGA Polo Golf Junior All-America honorable mention. He was the medalist at the FutureLinks Junior at Greenhills and Marsh Junior at Hawk Point after winning both in playoffs.
