HEMMINGFORD, Que. – Cameron Pero wasn’t driving four hours from his hometown of Bloomfield, Ont., to Hemmingford, Que., for any other reason but to win the NextGen Quebec Championship. And that he did.

The Team Ontario member had already secured his spot at the Canadian Junior Boys Championships later this summer with a T2 finish at the NextGen Ontario Championship and took his game one step further this week in Quebec, finishing atop the leaderboard.  

Pero joined Yasmine Qureshi – champion of the Junior Girls division – in the winner’s circle at Club de Golf Hemmingford on Thursday afternoon after each mounting comebacks of their own in the final round of the regional junior event south of Montreal.

Matthew Javier took a 36-hole two-stroke lead into day three of the 54-hole tournament, but the advantage was short lived when the final pairing set sail on Thursday. Momentum swung in Pero’s favour in the early stages of the round and after just four holes, he held the outright lead.

Javier, who earned a runner-up finish at the NextGen Prairie Championship earlier in June, got back on level terms with his counterpart with a birdie on no. 5 but that was as close as the Toronto, Ont. native would get. Pero regained full control of the lead with a birdie on no. 6 and after bogeys on no. 9 and no. 11, the Miami University commit steadied the ship en route to a final round one-under par 71.

The Picton Golf & Country Club member’s win in Quebec is his second career NextGen title after taking home the honours at the NextGen Fall Series East Championship in 2021.

Qureshi fired the low round of the week, a four-under 68 in the second round of the competition but still needed every one of her seven birdies on Wednesday to earn victory. The Ville de Québec native dug herself a deep hole with an opening round 10-over par 82, but climbed her way back to the surface in round two, and then leaped onto the podium with a final round 76 to win by one stroke over Shauna Liu (Maple, Ont.)

Qureshi, out of Club de golf de Lorette, trailed Keira Hou (Richmond Hill, Ont.) by three strokes when making the turn on Thursday but finished strong with an even-par 36 coming in, to capture the title. Hou, who lead or co-lead throughout the entire tournament, dropped four strokes on her final three holes and fell into third place.

Hou’s younger sister Katherine was also in the field in Hemmingford and posted a T7 finish to book her ticket to the Canadian Junior Girls Championship later this summer, alongside her sister Keira.

Including Qureshi, the top eight players (including ties) in the Junior Girls division have earned exemptions into the 2022 Canadian Junior Girls Championship taking place July 25-29 at The Marshes Golf Club in Ottawa, Ont.

From the Junior Boys division, the top eight players have earned exemptions into the 2022 Canadian Junior Boys Championship, August 6-10, at Rivershore Estates & Golf Links in Kamloops, British Columbia.

About the NextGen Championships series, fueled by JOURNIE Rewards

The NextGen Championships, fueled by JOURNIE Rewards is a high-performance junior golf series which totals eight competitions. From May to July, six championships will take place across Canada where the region’s best junior golfers will compete to earn exemptions into their respective 2022 national championships. NextGen Championships provide junior players an opportunity to develop and showcase their skills at the highest level of tournament golf. 

Golf Canada and the Golf Canada Foundation are pleased to announce the creation of a new honour of recognition—the Community Spirit Awards—to acknowledge and celebrate the commitment of individual leaders who are using golf as a platform to positively impact their communities.

The inaugural Community Spirit Awards will recognize a pair of remarkable individuals under two separate categories – the Community Leader Award and the Future Leader Award.  

The Community Leader Award will celebrate an individual over the age of 19 with a demonstrated ability to lead community initiatives; someone who has contributed a measurable impact through volunteerism or charity; or an individual who has showcased excellence in their involvement with, or support of youth programs such as First Tee – Canada or other junior golf activities.

The recipient of the Community Leader Award will receive a $5,000 donation from the Golf Canada Foundation to advance a golf program or golf-related initiative of their choice.

To recognize youth who are making an impact in their community, the Future Leader Award will honour an individual 19 years of age or younger who embodies community leadership; has a history of sportsmanship or demonstrated activities to make the game more inclusive; or an individual who has used golf to create a meaningful impact in their community.

The recipient of the Future Leader Award will be awarded a $5,000 donation towards their post-secondary education and will also be offered a paid work internship with Golf Canada.

Beginning today, the Canadian golf community is invited to submit individual nominations for the Community Spirit Awards through an online nomination form. The nomination period will close at 11:59 pm EST on August 31, 2022.

“There are so many incredible people using golf to contribute to their community and we are extremely proud to celebrate the spirit and unwavering commitment of these community leaders through the Community Spirit Awards,” said Golf Canada President Liz Hoffman. “To be nominated for recognition by your peers is a special accomplishment, and we look forward to presenting these two awards to deserving members of the golf community.”

At the conclusion of the nomination period, all Community Spirit Award submissions will be compiled and evaluated by a selection committee that includes representatives from Golf Canada, the Golf Canada Foundation, Honoured Members of the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame, industry representatives and the Golf Journalists Association of Canada.

The inaugural Community Spirit Awards recipients will be announced at the 2022 World Junior Girls Championship.

CALGARY—The Shaw Charity Classic presented by Suncor is kicking off the nation’s birthday celebrations by announcing the two Canadians on the PGA TOUR Champions, along with four of golf’s greats who are also Canadian Open winners, will be back in Calgary this summer.

Canada’s Mike Weir and Stephen Ames will be joined by World Golf Hall of Fame members, Vijay Singh and Mark O’Meara, along with Billy Andrade and Scott Verplank at the Shaw Charity Classic, August 1-7.

“It’s always good to get back up and play in Canada. I had a chance to play last year and the golf course was very good. Whenever we play the RBC Canadian Open, or here, and then back in the day at the Air Canada Championship, the fans have always been just so wonderful to me and rallied behind me. Having that kind of support and the crowd cheering for you like that is incredible,” said Weir. “I’m still motivated and I still like to push myself. I’d love to be in contention and try to win again.”

The 52-year-old gave Calgary golf fans something to cheer about in the opening round of his Shaw Charity Classic debut last year where he was one-shot off the lead. 

Life has been good on the PGA TOUR Champions for the 2003 Masters champion and winner of eight events on the PGA TOUR. Since turning 50 two years ago, the five-time member of the International squad at the Presidents Cup has been a frontrunner on the senior circuit with multiple top-five finishes including his lone victory at the 2021 Insperity Invitational.

Fellow Canadian Stephen Ames — one of the key players behind bringing the Shaw Charity Classic presented by Suncor to Calgary — has confirmed he will tee it up for the eighth time in his own backyard at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club.

The former Calgary resident is coming into this year’s event on a hot streak, and sits fourth on the Charles Schwab Cup Money List thanks to his five top-10 finishes this season including a second-place finish at the Senior PGA Championship. The 57-year-old, who was one shot back of the leaders heading into Sunday’s final round one year ago, had his best finish at the Shaw Charity Classic in 2015 when he was T5.

The four-time winner on the PGA TOUR is part of a seven-person philanthropic Patron Group backing the award-winning tournament in Calgary since its inception in 2013. To date, the Shaw Charity Classic presented by Suncor has raised more than $76 million for youth-based charities in Alberta – largely through the tournament’s Shaw Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink charitable program.

“Many of us worked very hard to bring an event of this calibre to this market,” said Ames. “One thing that never leaves any of us on this Tour is that we still want to play well so it has been nice for me to be able to be doing that again this year. The real winner of the event is obviously going to be the charities again, and that’s what the tournament was made for, more than anything else.” 

Calgarians will also have an opportunity to watch four former RBC Canadian Open winners tee it up at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club, including Vijay Singh. The 59-year-old Fijian has won 63 times worldwide including 34 wins on the PGA TOUR, 13 European Tour titles and five victories on the Asian Tour.

Singh was the World Number 1 for 32 weeks between 2004 and 2005. He racked up 13 of his PGA TOUR victories during that two-year period — none more memorable for golf fans north of the border than when he topped Canada’s Mike Weir in a dramatic playoff duel at the Canadian Open, denying fans a celebration they had been waiting to have for 50 years. Capturing more wins than anyone after the age of 40, the “Big Fijian” has three Major titles throughout his illustrious career. He won the 2004 and 1998 PGA Championships, and put on a Green Jacket after winning the 2000 Masters.

“I have fond memories of playing in Canada. The fans share my passion for the game and have always treated me with great respect. I am excited to have the opportunity to try and win another title up north,” said Singh, who won the 2008 FedEx Cup and has played on eight President Cup Teams for the International squad.

Mark O’Meara, who won the 1995 Canadian Open before capturing his two majors by winning the 1998 British Open, just three months after claiming the Masters, has also added his name to the Shaw Charity Classic tee sheet. One of five World Golf Hall of Famers confirmed to battle it out at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club, O’Meara is a 16-time winner on the PGA TOUR.

“Calgary and the Shaw Charity Classic is obviously one of the best on Tour. It is a wonderful place, an incredible city. I love the golf course. I love the Rockies and I’m a huge fisherman. Floating the Bow River is a beautiful experience so I can’t wait to get back to Calgary for both the golf and to get back onto the Bow again,” said O’Meara, who also has two PGA TOUR Champions victories.

O’Meara will be joined by two other golf legends who have a special place in their hearts for Canada – Billy Andrade and Scott Verplank.

Andrade fired his way into the winner’s circle four times on the PGA TOUR. One of his triumphs came in Canada after a thrilling playoff against Bob Friend at the 1998 Canadian Open. He came up on the short end of a thrilling head-to-head playoff with Fred Couples at the 2014 Shaw Charity Classic that ended on the first extra hole. Both players made eagles on the 54th hole to finish in a tie.

“I have always enjoyed coming to Canada to play the Open and obviously have fond memories of winning,” said Andrade. “I remember I hadn’t won in a while in 1998, and when that happens, sometimes you wonder if you’ll ever win again, but that day I had a good feeling and kept telling myself ‘I’m going to win.’ It is very difficult to win on the PGA TOUR Champions with so many great players in the field. Hopefully some of those good vibes will return in Calgary.”

Scott Verplank has also found success north of the border, winning the 2001 Canadian Open. A member of two U.S.A. Ryder Cup Teams, and two President Cup Teams, Verplank won five times on the PGA TOUR en route to racking up more than $25 million in career earnings.

“Canada has been a good country for me over the years. I have great memories of winning the Canadian Open so I’m excited about playing in Calgary,” said Verplank, who was elgible to play the PGA TOUR Champions with Andrade in 2014.

The six players will join previously announced major winner winners, Fred Couples, John Daly, Retief Goosen,  Padraig Harrington, Colin Montgomerie, Corey Pavin and David Toms.

NOTABLES

Léonie Tavares (Mirabel, Que.)

When looking for Léonie Tavares on any leaderboard, don’t look past the top-five, because chances are you won’t find her. The 11-year-old phenom, who won’t graduate high school until 2028 (!), has already taken her golf game south of the border. Not only did she compete, but she was crowned champion of the Girls 9-12 division at the Ocala Open on the Florida Junior Tour with rounds of 72 and 69, respectively. Prior to that, at the mere age of 10, the rising star won the club championship at her home course of Glendale in Mirabel, Que.

Samuel Breton-Gagnon (Québec, Que.)

Samuel Breton-Gagnon was near perfect at Golf Château Bromont for the 2022 University/College National Championship at the end of May but fell just short in the final round. The 18-year-old carded rounds of back-to-back five-under 67, contributing to a T2 finish against the country’s elite collegiate golfers. The Quebec native was also part of the Champlain St Lawrence Lions team that captured the 2021 CCAA Golf National Championship, an event in which he also recorded an 8^th place finish in the individual competition. Breton-Gagnon has proved he can go low, and he’ll look to do so again in Hemmingford.

Anne-Léa Lavoie (Québec, Que.)

This Team Canada National Junior Squad member won just about everything there was to win in Quebec in 2021, including the Junior Girls Championship and the Junior Girls Match Play. Additionally, the 18-year-old registered at T8 finish at last year’s Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship. Simply put, Lavoie knows her way to the top of the leaderboard, and she will bank on her winning experience at the NextGen Quebec Championship this week.

TSU, Japan – Canada Day is still a week away but there was reason to celebrate early for Team Canada’s National Junior Squad in Japan on Friday.

The Canadian Junior Boys team – made up of Félix Bouchard (Otterburn Park, Que.), Ethan Wilson (St. Albert, Alta.), Cooper Humphreys (Vernon, B.C.) and Eric Zhao (North York, Ont.) – captured the 2022 Toyota Junior Golf World Cup with a two-stroke victory over Japan in the seven-team competition.

Canada’s team victory at the World Cup is its first in the 28-year history of the event. Rob McMillan (1994) and Corey Conners (2009) have previously been crowned individual champions of the tournament representing the Maple Leaf.

Consistency was the key to success for the Boys team, who each recorded top-10 results or better in the individual competition. Bouchard and Humphreys spearheaded the Canadians, the pair finishing at eight-under par for T5, while Wilson closed the tournament at seven-under par for T8 and Zhao wrapped up his World Cup in T10 at six-under par.

None of the members of four-man squad carded a score higher than 73 over the course of the three-day event at the Hakusan Village Golf Club in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture, Japan. Bouchard earned the low score of the week amongst the Canucks, firing a six-under par 66 in the second round of the international competition.

Team Canada’s Junior Girls – made up of Nicole Gal (Oakville, Ont.), Michelle Liu (Vancouver, B.C.), and Yeji Kwon (Port Coquitlam, B.C.) – secured a well-deserved top-3 finish of their own. Gal’s T4 result in the individual competition charged the Canadians to a podium finish, totalling an eight-under par score as a team, just one stroke shy of the Japanese in second place.

Kwon’s opening round three-under par 69 was matched by her teammate Gal the following day, and stood as the low scores of the week for the Canadian girls.

Canada’s third place finish matches their best result (T3 in 2018) since the Girls division was added to the global golf tournament in 2014.

Spain ran away with the Junior Girls division, winning by seven strokes over Japan. The Spaniards were lead by Andrea Revuelta, Cayetana Goicoechea and Fernández Garcia-Poggio, who finished tied atop the individual female leaderboard at seven-under par.

Conners, Adam Hadwin, Adam Svensson and Nick Taylor are other names to have previously represented the red and white at the marquee international event. Master’s champions Scottie Scheffler (USA) and Hideki Matsuyama (Japan), along with John Rahm (Spain) and Cam Smith (Australia), have also sported their countries colours at the World Cup since it began 1992.

2022 marked the 28^th playing of the Toyota Junior Golf World Cup and the first since 2019. The event was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Belmont, MI. – The LPGA Tour returned to Blythefield Country Club this week for the eighth playing of the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give.

Coming off her victory last week at the ShopRite LPGA Classic, Brooke Henderson fired a 72 to finish at 15-under.

In addition to her win in NJ, Henderson now has five additional top-10s this season, including a solo second at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions and a tie for fourth at the Honda LPGA Thailand. Though she struggled with her game after the Asian swing, a change in her putting grip seems to have made a major difference, which will be critical as she looks to add a third Meijer LPGA Classic to her resume.

“I started off the year really hot and I had a lot of great finishes, and kind of cooled off and I wasn’t feeling so well and things kind of went a little bit cold there for a little while,” said Henderson. “Definitely having the putting back in my corner and feeling a little bit more comfortable all the time is really key. I feel like left-hand low has made a big difference and so I’m excited moving forward.”

Henderson is the only player to win the Meijer LPGA Classic multiple times; she was victorious in 2017 and 2019, on Father’s Day both years.

After missing a two-foot eagle putt on the first hole of a playoff, Jennifer Kupcho won the LPGA Meijer Classic when Leona Maguire’s three-foot birdie try lipped out on the second extra hole.

Fellow Canadian Maude-Aimee LeBlanc finished the weekend 8-under (T40), with Alena Sharp coming in at minus 6 (T56).

TORONTO, Ont. – Rory McIlroy’s bid to defend his RBC Canadian Open title is complete.

McIlroy fired an eight-under par 62 in the final round of Sunday’s National Open at St. George’s Golf & Country Club to win his second consecutive RBC Canadian Open, three years and four days after he hoisted the trophy in 2019 at Hamilton Golf & Country Club.

“It means an awful lot. I feel like it’s getting tougher and tougher to win on the PGA TOUR,” said McIlroy. “I went out with a lead and had to shoot 8-under par to get the job done. So, the depth of talent on this TOUR is really, really impressive.”

The Northern Irishman’s win in Canada marks his first-ever successful title defence on the PGA TOUR and his 21^st tournament victory, putting him in a tie for 31^st on the all-time wins list.

“Super happy to get that 21st win [and] to defend,” said McIlroy. “To play in a final group like that with that atmosphere all day. I mean the fans here this week have just been absolutely unbelievable – like so good and so cool to play in an atmosphere like that. Boisterous, loud, but respectful.”

The 33-year-old joins J. Douglas Edger, Leo Diegel, Sam Snead, Jim Ferrier, Jim Furyk and Jhonattan Vegas as players to win back-to-back at the RBC Canadian Open. McIlroy is also the first champion since Jim Furyk in 2006-07 to win back-to-back titles at two different venues—Furyk accomplishing the feat at Hamilton Golf & Country Club (2006) and Angus Glen Golf Club (2007) while McIlroy followed up his 2019 victory at Hamilton Golf & Country Club.

McIlroy is now two-for-two north of the border and his return for 2023 at Oakdale Golf & Country Club is all but confirmed.

Justin Rose’s final round 10-under par 60 is the lowest final round score in the history of the tournament, one upping McIlroy’s 61 in the final round of the 2019 RBC Canadian Open.

Corey Conners went out with a bang, matching McIlroy’s round of eight-under par 62 and catapulting up the leaderboard for a sixth-place finish. The Listowel, Ont. native earned the Rivermead Challenge Cup as the low-Canadian professional at the RBC Canadian Open for the first time.

“There’s a great list of Canadians who have their names on that trophy, so definitely an honor to have my name added,” said Conners. “It was a great week and hopefully start there and can challenge for the title in the next few years.”

Tony Finau entered Sunday’s final round with a share of the lead, and albeit a respectable six-under 64, he could not keep pace with the eventual winner. Justin Thomas also carded a final round 64 to finish in sole position of third place.

Keith Mitchell and Wyndham Clark have qualified for the 150^th playing of The Open Championship as the leading two finishers within the top-eight who weren’t otherwise already exempt into the tournament. The Open will be played at St. Andrews, July 14-17.

Brooke Henderson returned to the winning circle with a comeback victory at the 2022 ShopRite LPGA Classic.

The 24-year-old trailed by four strokes entering the final round, but rallied on Sunday, firing a bogey-free, seven-under par 64 on the Bay Course at Seaview Golf Club en route to her 11^th LPGA Tour title.

“Coming into today I just was trying to go low and see what happens. I didn’t think — I mean, I thought the victory was a possibility, but there are a lot of really talented players ahead of me and I think I was four shots back starting the day,” said Henderson. “I knew it was going to take a little bit of magic, and I’m just really happy that I’m sitting here next to the trophy.”

Henderson tapped in for birdie on no. 18 to secure the clubhouse lead at 12-under, but Lindsey Weaver-Wright matched the Canadian’s effort to force a playoff. In extra holes, Henderson prevailed, making an eagle to claim the trophy.  

“I had 193 to the pin. It was a little into the wind and I hit knock-down 7-wood. It’s the same club I hit on 9 that I made eagle there, too, so that was — that club was definitely working for me today. I’ll have to give it a pat on the head later,” said Henderson.

Henderson’s final round score of 64 is the Smith Falls, Ont. native’s lowest score of the 2022 season, and lowest score on the LPGA Tour since the final round of last year’s LPGA Classic where she finished T2. 

The winningest Canadian in golf history inched closer and closer to the top in Galloway, before finally getting her hands on the trophy this week. 

In 2019, Henderson notched a T11 finish, followed by a T6 result in 2020. One year later, in 2021, she returned to Seaview Golf Club and secured a T2 finish, before competing her run to glory on Sunday for her first LPGA win since the 2021 DIO Implant LA Open. 

With her win, Henderson is projected to climb ten spots, from 12^th to second, on the CME Globe points list.  

Next up for the Canadian is the Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give, an event Henderson has won twice before, in 2017 and 2019.
