Thanks to the partnership of two visionary businessmen, Mr. Benoît Vachon and Mr. Roland Lacroix, land located on Rang St-Étienne in Sainte-Marie caught their attention due to its proximity, terrain, and vegetation. Together, Mr. Vachon and Mr. Lacroix fully committed to realizing this great dream, investing their time and generously contributing significant financial support. From 1968 to 1969, under the supervision of architect Howard Watson, a series of major works were carried out to expand and improve the original nine-hole course.
The Beauce Golf Club of Sainte-Marie has also had the privilege of hosting prestigious events, including the Canadian Junior Championship in 1982 and the Québec District Junior Final in 2009, along with numerous amateur golf tournaments held annually. Over the years, the leadership of Golf de Beauce has ensured the best facilities for its visitors, including the expansion of the clubhouse and improvements to the golf course.
“Being selected to host a national-level event is a deeply meaning recognition. It reflects the quality of our course, the professionalism of our team and above all, the warm welcome for which the people of the Beauce region are known,” said Daniel Drouin, President, Club de Golf Sainte-Marie. “It is a great source of pride for our members to see their club shine on the Canadian stage. This championship is an opportunity to showcase the expertise of our organization, but also the celebrate the talent and determination of these young golfers who represent the future of the sport. To all participants, welcome to our home. May your stay in Sainte-Marie be filled with great performances and last memories. Wishing you all a great championship.”
The Championship was first contested in 1955 and operated by the former Canadian Ladies Association (CLGA) until the amalgamation of CLGA and Royal Canadian Golf Association (now Golf Canada) in 2005.

Judith Kyrinis becomes four-time champion after playoff win at the 2025 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship
Kyrinis tops Nonie Marler in three-hole playoff to win Mid-Amateur and Mid-Master titles; Team British Columbia retains Inter-Provincial Team title in Lachute
LACHUTE, Que. – Judith Kyrinis is a national champion once again, following a three-hole playoff win over Nonie Marler at the 2025 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, presented by BDO at Lachute (Club de golf) in Lachute, Que. on Friday.
Kyrinis, of Thornhill, Ont. tapped in her par putt on the third playoff hole to win the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship for the fourth time. Her previous wins came in 2016, 2019 and 2023. She sits second all-time, just behind Christina Spence Proteau who has six.
“It’s wonderful, you don’t really expect to do some of this stuff but I’m just very thankful for the opportunity and for the people that helped me get here and all the work that Liz and Mark Hoffman do for me and to help me achieve these goals and my family too,” said Kyrinis following the awards ceremony on 18.
Kyrinis opened the day one shot back of Marler, who held the 36-hole lead. The pair found themselves tied after two holes following a bogey from Marler. The co-lead was short lived however as Marler quickly answered with a birdie on the third to regain her lead by one. The biggest swing of the day came at the par-3 5th hole, where Kyrinis carded her lone birdie on the day to drop to even par, while a double bogey from Marler put Kyrinis ahead by two.
Kyrinis said there was “lots of golf left and many opportunities for the longer hitters to take advantage,” so she remained patient.
“I was hitting the ball really well and neither one of us were getting many putts to drop but getting really good looks at it, so I said just stay patient,” she said.
Marler responded with birdie at No. 6 to pull within a stroke of the lead and it would remain that way as both women went on to card five consecutive pars through 11 holes. Marler dropped her third birdie on the day at No. 12 to pull even with Kyrinis. Following consecutive pars, Kyrinis regained her one stroke advantage on No. 15 following a bogey from Marler. That lead was also short lived as Kyrinis dropped a stroke on the very next hole, putting both players at even par with two to play.
The final two holes solved nothing, and a playoff was required. The duo teed off on No. 18 to begin the playoff and both recorded bogey after Marler missed her chance at par. Kyrinis would just miss a birdie opportunity on the second playoff hole (Hole No. 1) to make par and force a return to No. 18 for the third playoff hole.
There Marler would hit her drive out of bounds, having to return to the tee. Kyrinis had a look at birdie from the fringe and left herself with a short par putt, which she sunk to seal the win and her fourth Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur title.
“I just wanted to make par, knowing with Nonie unfortunately going O.B. it gave me a little bit of room, but you never know,” she said.
“I knew I had to get my ball into the hole because she could have got it up and down and I could have three-putted. I mean I hit one less going into that green and I still kind of went long. Funny what adrenaline will do for you.
“It feels great, bit of a relief though to finally get it done,” added Kyrinis with a laugh.
Past champions, Marie-Thérèse Torti and Mary Ann Hayward greeted Kyrinis on 18, spraying her with champagne to celebrate their friend’s victory.
Kyrinis finished the tournament at 1-over following rounds of 77-70-73=220. In addition to winning the Mid-Amateur title, Kyrinis also won the Mid-Master title for a record, fourth time.
Kelsey Fuchs of King City, Ont. who held a piece of lead following the opening round fired a 2-under 71 on Friday to finish 3-over and tied for third with Haley Yerxa of Ottawa, Ont. Jordan Matheson of Burnaby, B.C. finished 4-over to round out the top five in the Mid-Amateur division. In the Mid-Master division, Connor Macon of Charlotte, N.C., Suzanne Ricard of Montreal, Que. and Charmaine Hayden of Winnipeg, Man. finished in a three-way tie for third at 9-over.
On Thursday, Team British Columbia (B.C.) retained the Margaret Todd Trophy, winning the Inter-Provincial Team Championship, finishing with a total combined score of 5-over, beating Team Ontario by eight shots. Team B.C. was represented by Nonie Marler of Vancouver, B.C., Aram Choi of Surrey, B.C. and Veronica Ivy of Victoria, B.C. Marler shot a 1-under 72, while Ivy shot a 3-over 76 and Choi a 6-over 79 on Thursday. On Wednesday, Marler shot 74, Choi shot 75 and Ivy shot 79. Team Manitoba and Team Quebec tied for third at 19-over. The two lowest scores counted towards the daily team total for the inter-provincial title.
The field of 57 female amateur talents (aged 25-and-over as of August 6, 2025), with a handicap index of 12.0 or less began play on Wednesday. In addition to winning the national championship, Kyrinis will receive exemptions into the 2025 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship at Monterey Peninsula Country Club (Dunes Course) in Pebble Beach, Calif. October 4-9, as well as the 2026 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship at The Toronto Golf Club in Mississauga, Ont. from July 20 – 24 and the 2026 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, at Burlington Golf & Country Club, in Burlington, Ont. from August 4 – 7.

Team British Columbia wins the Margaret Todd Trophy at the 2025 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship
Nonie Marler holds one shot lead over Judith Kyrinis in Mid-Amateur and Mid-Master divisions into Friday
LACHUTE, Que. – Team British Columbia has retained the Margaret Todd Trophy, winning the Inter-Provincial Team Championship on Thursday at the 2025 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, presented by BDO at Lachute (Club de golf) in Lachute, Que.
Team British Columbia (B.C.) finished with a total combined score of 5-over, beating Team Ontario by eight shots. Team B.C. was represented by Nonie Marler of Vancouver, B.C., Aram Choi of Surrey, B.C. and Veronica Ivy of Victoria, B.C. Marler shot a 1-under 72, while Ivy shot a 3-over 76 and Choi a 6-over 79 on Thursday. On Wednesday, Marler shot 74, Choi shot 75 and Ivy shot 79. Team Manitoba and Team Quebec tied for third at 19-over. The two lowest scores counted towards the daily team total for the inter-provincial title.
“Always proud to represent the province and we put some good scores up there the last couple days and we all hope to do it again tomorrow too and finish the tournament strong individually as well as collectively. It’s special to be able to represent the province and to go and come out on top,” said Marler, who won her second inter-provincial title with Team B.C. at the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship.
Marler credited her ability to hit the majority of fairways and greens helping her to sit as co-leader, while she struggled to see the lines on greens after the opening round. When asked if that improved on Thursday, Marler replied “marginally” with a laugh.
“There were a lot of things out there that I thought would break more than they did and they didn’t and conversely the opposite as well. I think it’s more a pace thing than a line thing now, what I am figuring out for my own game, but game plan is going to stay the same for the final round and just stay patient and hopefully get a few more to drop tomorrow,” she added.
Marler added that taking things one shot at a time and being particular with yardages was a continued approach on Thursday.
The battle for both the Mid-Amateur and Mid-Master division championships is shaping up to be an exciting one on Friday as Marler takes a one-shot lead over three-time Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur champion, Judith Kyrinis of Thornhill, Ont. The two will be playing together in the final group tomorrow.
“I love Judith, we’ve played a bunch of tournaments together and she caddied for me at the U.S. Mid-Am back in 2021 when we were both down there together. She’s a great friend and playing competitor and I respect her game immensely and I’m really looking forward to playing with her tomorrow, we have a lot of fun playing together,” said Marler.
Kyrinis fired the low round of the day with a bogey free, 3-under 70 on Thursday. Kyrinis said her goal for today was to get back in it and stay close to the leaders. She credited a couple aspects of her game that allowed her to bounce back on Thursday.
“I would say my irons were pretty good today and my pace on the greens was pretty good, I wasn’t struggling too hard on any of the comeback putts.”
Kyrinis added that fairways are indeed tough to hit in Lachute, but she won’t change her approach heading into Friday.
“Same thing that I always try to work on and that’s keep it simple. Fairways and greens. Par is your friend out here and just play my game. These girls can hit it down there pretty good, and I just have to know where my game is and play to my strengths,” she said.
In the Mid-Amateur division, Haley Yerxa of Ottawa, Ont. fired a 1-under 72 to move up into third at 4-over for the tournament. Yerxa, Marler and Kyrinis were the only players in the field that were able to shoot under par on Thursday. Jordan Matheson of Burnaby, B.C. and Kelsey Fuchs on King City, Ont. are tied for fourth at 5-over for the championship.
In the Mid-Master division, Tina Papatolis of Issaquah, Wash. and Suzanne Ricard of Montreal, Que. are tied for third at 7-over and Charmaine Hayden of Winnipeg, Man. is fifth at 8-over.
The field of 57 female amateur talents (aged 25-and-over as of August 6, 2025), with a handicap index of 12.0 or less began play on Wednesday. The winner of the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship will receive exemptions into the 2025 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship at Monterey Peninsula Country Club (Dunes Course) in Pebble Beach, Calif. October 4-9, as well as the 2026 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, at Burlington Golf & Country Club, in Burlington, Ont. from August 4 – 7, 2026.

LACHUTE, Que. – Nonie Marler and Kelsey Fuchs are tied for the lead after carding rounds of 1-over 74 on Wednesday at the 2025 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, presented by BDO at Lachute (Club de golf) in Lachute, Que.
Marler of Vancouver, B.C. credited hitting almost every fairway and green during her opening round although she felt she couldn’t see the lines well despite having several attempts at birdie.
Marler was able to grab one on No. 4 before bogeying one hole later to eventually finish her front nine at even par. Another birdie on No. 13 was erased after a double bogey on 14 following a three-putt. Marler rebounded strongly to finish with four consecutive pars to grab a piece of the lead.
“I just tried to keep it to a shot at a time,” said Marler after her opening round. “I just tried to keep it really simple and focus on what was ahead of me and not try to get ahead of myself score wise because you can let it get away from you super quick out there.”
Marler plans to approach Thursday, exactly as she did today knowing there is a lot of golf left to play, “it’s anybody’s tournament, there are a lot of really good golfers that are within a couple shots of the lead.”
Marler has consistently found her name amongst the top of the leaderboard in the previous four years at the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship. She finished runner-up after losing in a playoff to Christina Proteau of Port Alberni, B.C. in 2021 and has since earned three consecutive top 10 finishes in the national championship.
“I love this event, I think it’s amazing that Golf Canada is really supportive of mid-amateur female golfers and I want to continue to support this,” she said.
“I train and prepare for much of the summer to play in this and the U.S. Mid-Am qualifying, and I know a lot of the players and it’s just nice to come and be able to compete and see my friends every year and hopefully have some fun along the way and do well while doing it,” she added.
In addition to co-leading the Mid-Amateur division, Marler leads the Mid-Master division by three shots over a trio of golfers including three-time Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur champion, Judith Kyrinis of Thornhill, Ont., Suzanne Ricard of Montreal, Que., and Connor Macon of Charlotte, N.C. at 4-over.
Fuchs of King City, Ont. also carded two birdies on Wednesday and closed her round with a string of five consecutive pars to join Marler atop the leaderboard. Fuchs has enjoyed a successful summer having recently won the Ontario Women’s Mid-Amateur title in June.
Trailing the duo are Aram Choi of Surrey, B.C. who is alone in third at 2-over, Jordan Matheson of Burnaby, B.C. sits fourth at 3-over, while four golfers are tied for fifth at 4-over.
Team British Columbia (B.C.) opened its title defence of the Margaret Todd Trophy by taking a five shot lead into Thursday’s final round of the team championship. Team B.C. sits atop the lead with a collective score of 3-over. Team B.C. is represented by Marler, along with Choi who shot a 2-over 75 and Veronica Ivy of Victoria, B.C. who shot a 6-over 79. Team Quebec and Team Ontario are tied for second at 8-over heading into Thursday. The two lowest scores count towards the daily team total.
The field of 57 female amateur talents (aged 25-and-over as of August 6, 2025), with a handicap index of 12.0 or less began play on Wednesday. The winner of the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship will receive exemptions into the 2025 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship at Monterey Peninsula Country Club (Dunes Course) in Pebble Beach, Calif. October 4-9, as well as the 2026 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, at Burlington Golf & Country Club, in Burlington, Ont. from August 4 – 7, 2026.

Kamloops, B.C. – The 2025 Canadian All Abilities Championship, presented by BDO is set for August 4 – 7 at The Dunes at Kamloops in Kamloops, B.C.
The fifth playing of the national championship will be contested over 54-holes, featuring a field of 50 players with neurological, intellectual, sensory, and physical impairments. The tournament was expanded to three rounds last year after the first three editions were comprised of 36-holes.
There are four different divisions in the Canadian All Abilities Championship that players will compete in, regardless of disability classification: Women’s Gross Stroke Play; Women’s Net Stableford; Men’s Gross Stroke Play and Men’s Net Stableford.
The field of competitors includes four-time Women’s Gross Stroke Play defending champion Natasha Stasiuk of Oakville, Ont., three-time Women’s Net Stableford winner, Tess Trojan of St. Catharines, Ont., and defending Women’s Stableford champion, Emma Bittorf of Strathmore, Alta.
On the men’s side, two-time defending champion, Chris Willis of Aurora, Ont. currently ranked no. 11 on the World Ranking for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD), Vic McClelland of High River, Alta. (no. 12 WR4GD), 2022 Men’s Stableford winner, Kevin Delaney of Windsor, Ont. (no. 54 WR4GD) and Kelly Masson of Grand Prairie, Alta. (no. 47 WR4GD).
Earlier this season, both Willis and Stasiuk competed in the G4D Open at the Duchess Course at Woburn in Milton Keynes, England, where Willis finished in 12th and Stasiuk placed seventh on the women’s leaderboard. Both Stasiuk and Willis competed at the U.S. Adaptive Open Championship at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Md. in July. Stasiuk finished first in the women’s intellectual impairment category and fifth overall and Willis finished second in the men’s upper limb impairment category and 16th overall. Last month, the duo was successful winning the men’s and women’s individual division titles at the Ontario Adaptive Open at Weston Golf and Country Club in Toronto, Ont. The win marked Stasiuk’s sixth title and Willis’ second having won his first in 2023. Stasiuk has also won a bronze medal from the 2023 Special Olympics World Games in Berlin, Germany.
“We are excited to begin the fifth playing of the Canadian All Abilities Championship at The Dunes at Kamloops next week,” said Golf Canada Tournament Director Rogan Doyle. “Our championship expanded to 54-holes last year, featuring both a gross stroke play championship and a net stableford championship. This format provides equitability for the field competing in for the national championship. We appreciate the work of the staff and volunteers at The Dunes as we work to collectively deliver a memorable experience for those competing in Kamloops.”
The Dunes was founded in 1996 and has played host to a variety of big events including the CCAA Championship, B.C. Amateur, Western Canadian Summer games and many more. The Dunes is known for its rolling fairways and bountiful dunes mounds lining all fairways. Players will use all clubs in their bag at The Dunes, as well as some very imaginative shot shapes during their round.
“The Dunes at Kamloops is very pleased to be chosen as the host site for the 2025 Canadian All Abilities Championship. The participants are in for a treat as the course is in excellent condition and the forecast looks amazing,” said Bill Bilton, Owner and Head Professional, The Dunes at Kamloops. “Players will be challenged with true U.K. links style fairways, rolling hills and natural fescue. We eagerly await the opening tee shot and making new friends during the event.”
First conducted in 2021 at Humber Valley Golf Course in Toronto, Ont., the competition supports Golf Canada’s commitment to create a more inclusive and respectful sport environment across the Canadian golf community.
The stableford scoring format of the Canadian All Abilities Championship awards set points based off a golfer’s net score for the hole. The points will be awarded as follows: Albatross (5 points), Eagle (4 points), Birdie (3 points), Par (2 points), Bogey (1 point), Double Bogey or higher (0 points). The golfers with the highest total of accumulated points over 54-holes will win their respective divisions.
Practice rounds are scheduled for Monday, August 4, and the tournament gets underway on Tuesday, August 5.

Michelle Xing wins the 111th Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship
Xing joins prestigious list of Canadian Women’s Amateur champions and
earns an exemption into the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open
ROTHESAY, N.B. – Michelle Xing fired her third consecutive round of 1-under 71 on Friday to win the 111th Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship, presented by BDO at The Riverside Country Club in Rothesay, N.B.
The 17-year-old from Richmond Hill, Ont. finished the tournament as the lone player under par at 2-under following rounds of 73-71-71-71=286 to claim the Duchess of Connaught Gold Cup by four shots over Macy Pate of Winston-Salem, N.C. and Eunseo Choi of Auckland, New Zealand who both finished tied for second at 2-over.
“It means everything to me,” said Xing after receiving her gold medal and the Duchess of Connaught Gold Cup. “It’s something I’ve been working towards since I was little and winning it a day after my birthday is the best present for me.”
Players battled the wind at The Riverside Country Club throughout the week and fog rolled in as players began play on Friday before lifting as the final groups teed off.
On the opening hole both Xing and Choi dropped a stroke to still co-lead the tournament at even par before Xing grabbed the solo lead with a birdie on No. 4. Choi responded with a birdie on No. 5 and took the lead on No. 7 following a bogey from Xing. That lead was short-lived as Xing carded another birdie on No. 9 to pull even with Choi heading to the back nine.
Xing said throughout the front nine that she was doing her best to stay present and not look too much into the future. “The back nine is quite scoreable so I wasn’t thinking too much. Just play my game, hit the green, give myself a look for birdie and if not two-putt.”
Choi opened the back nine with a pair of bogeys to put Xing atop the leaderboard by two. Xing dropped a stroke with a bogey on No. 13; it would be the closest anyone would get to her on Friday.
Xing fired back-to-back birdies on Nos. 14 and 15 to open up to a three-shot lead on Pate and went four ahead of Choi with three to play and that’s when it started to feel like she was closing in on the title.
“On 13 I hit my drive to a bad spot and knew that bogey was likely the outcome, on 14 I knew if I could hit a good drive, I could hit on and two putt for birdie,” she said.
“On 15 I hit a good putt and I kind of started to feel the pressure a little bit because we were coming into the closing three holes but again, I was just trying to stay present and distract myself with anything really,” she added.”
Xing closed her round with three consecutive pars, tapping in on 18 to win the national championship. After handshakes, she was greeted by her Team Canada teammates and friends who stormed the green and dumped water on her in a celebratory manner.
As for what Xing was feeling as she tapped in for par on 18.
“It was happiness and relief. It’s just something that I’ve been dreaming of really, to win a tournament of this level. It feels great honestly.”

In addition to winning the Duchess of Connaught Gold Cup, Xing has earned an exemption into the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open taking place at the Mississaugua Golf and Country Club in Mississauga, Ont. from August 20 – 24.
Xing will be making her second consecutive appearance in Canada’s National Women’s Open Championship having earned qualification through the She Plays Golf Championship Series last year.
“I am so excited. I was going to try, and Monday qualify for that but…” she paused and began to laugh. “Being exempt into the field feels great and I get to play with the pros again and try to learn from them.”
She has also earned an exemption into the 2025 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship, taking place August 4 – 10 at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Ore and an exemption into the 2026 Canadian Women’s Amateur, taking place at The Toronto Golf Club, July 20 – 24, 2026.
Xing joins a prestigious list of past champions in the tournament’s storied history led by Marlene Stewart Streit, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, who sits atop the class with 11 victories. In addition to some of golf’s brightest stars on the LPGA Tour including Ariya Jutanugarn (2012), Brooke Henderson (2013), Hye-Jin Choi (2016), Jennifer Kupcho (2017) and Yealimi Noh (2018).
Anna Iwanaga of Hyogo, Japan and Kaitlyn Schroeder of Jacksonville, Fla. finished tied for fourth at 3-over. Team Canada member, Vanessa Borovilos of Etobicoke, Ont. fired a 2-under 70 on Friday to jump up and finish sixth at 4-over. Fellow Team Canada members, Tillie Claggett of Calgary, Alta. and Vanessa Zhang of Vancouver, B.C. finished T7 at 6-over along with Jazy Roberts of West Bendigo, Australia. Molly Smith of Westford, Mass. Finished at 7-over to round out the top 10.
On Wednesday, Team British Columbia (B.C.) reclaimed the Inter-Provincial Team Championship from Team Ontario after consecutive runner-up finishes the past two years.
Team B.C. finished with a two-day collective score of 9-over, six shots clear of the two-time defending champions to claim the title for the first time since 2022. The team was represented by Angela Arora of Surrey, B.C., Yeeun (Jenny) Kwon of Vancouver, B.C. and Amy Seung Hyun Lee of Langley, B.C.
Arora’s back-to-back rounds of 2-over 74 and Kwon’s scores of 73 and 76 counted on both days for Team B.C. The two lowest scores from the three-person team counted towards the combined team total for each round. Team Ontario finished as runner-up with a combined score of 15-over. Team Alberta and Team Quebec finished in a tie for third at 30-over, with Team Manitoba rounding out the top five at 32-over.

Michelle Xing and Eunseo Choi share the lead after thrilling third round at the 111th Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship
Nine golfers within six shots of co-leaders, setting up exciting
final round on Friday
ROTHESAY, N.B. – Moving Day certainly delivered and then some following the third round of the 111th Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship, presented by BDO; as Michelle Xing and Eunseo Choi are tied for the lead at 1-under heading into Friday’s final round at The Riverside Country Club in Rothesay, N.B.
While the wind remained a factor, more favourable conditions paved the way for a number of lead changes and scoring opportunities over the course of 18 holes on Thursday in Rothesay.
Xing, of Richmond Hill, Ont. was just two shots back of the lead entering play and was able to respond to any setback she faced, keeping her name atop the lead for most of the day.
After opening with a bogey, she responded with back-to-back birdies followed by a string of pars. Xing dropped another stroke on No. 12 before answering with birdies on 14 and 15 and closed her round with three straight pars on route to a 1-under 71 to sit 1-under.
“I think I was hitting the ball pretty well today, I was making my shorter putts so that was working really well,” said Xing.
Equally as exciting for the Team Canada NextGen member, was that Thursday marked her 17th birthday, “not a bad way to spend my birthday,” said Xing with a smile.
As for how she may celebrate tonight.
“I have a cheesecake in my hotel room and had dinner with friends last night, so in a way we kind of celebrated already so maybe I’ll just have some more cake tonight,” said added with a laugh.
Xing said she plans to stick with what has worked with her for the past couple days from a routine and game plan perspective and will adjust as needed on Friday.
Choi of Auckland, New Zealand got off to a hot start with opening birdies on No. 3 and 4 before dropping back to even par for her round through nine. She ran into trouble again with a bogey on No. 10, but it would be the final blemish on an impressive back nine as Choi birdied four of her final seven holes to fire a 3-under 69 to move atop the leaderboard with Xing. Choi credited her putting and a strong mental game for her round.
“I wasn’t really shaken by anything and just tried to enjoy the game as much as I could – honestly, just tried to lock in as they say and really just enjoy it and I think that’s what went really well today,” she said.
Wind looks to be a factor again on Friday and Choi is prepared for whatever comes her way.
“This course is great, but the wind always makes variables for it. As long as I try to enjoy it, just stay in the moment and don’t think too much about it, just be comfortable in my own situation I think I’ll play well tomorrow.”
Xing and Choi hold a one-shot lead over Kaitlyn Schroeder of Jacksonville, Fla. who shot a 1-over 73 on Thursday to drop to even par for the tournament and is alone in third. Aira Nagasawa of Yamanashi, Japan moved up to fourth following a 1-under 71 to sit at 2-over while Raegan Denton of Fulham Gardens, Australia fired a 3-under 69 to move into fifth place at 3-over.
Team Canada member Vanessa Zhang of Vancouver, B.C. also recorded a 3-under 69 on Thursday to move up and into a tie for sixth at 4-over with fellow Team Canada member, Tillie Claggett of Calgary, Alta., Molly Smith of Westford, Ma. and Macy Pate of Winston-Salem, N.C. who held the 36-hole lead into Thursday.
Joline Truong of Mississauga, Ont. fired the low round of the day with a 4-under 68 to jump into a tie for tenth with Anna Iwanaga of Hyogo, Japan at 5-over.
In addition to winning the Duchess of Connaught Trophy, the Canadian Women’s Amateur champion will receive an exemption into the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open taking place at the Mississaugua Golf and Country Club in Mississauga, Ont. from August 20 – 24.

Team British Columbia wins Inter-Provincial Team Championship at the 111th Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship
Macy Pate holds one-shot lead heading into third round;
Michelle Xing two shots back
ROTHESAY, N.B. – After consecutive runner-up finishes the past two years, Team British Columbia (B.C.) has reclaimed the Inter-Provincial Team Championship from Team Ontario in the 111th playing of the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship, presented by BDO.
Team B.C. finished with a two-day collective score of 9-over, six shots clear of the two-time defending champions to claim the title for the first time since 2022 on Wednesday at The Riverside Country Club in Rothesay, N.B.
The team was represented by Angela Arora of Surrey, B.C., Yeeun (Jenny) Kwon of Vancouver, B.C. and Amy Seung Hyun Lee of Langley, B.C.
“This win means a lot, we all have a lot of B.C. pride and any chance to play for our province is really good and being able to win for our province is a super great accomplishment,” said Arora.
The team mindset was to play smart heading into Wednesday, which has certainly been a requirement at Riverside Country Club over the first two rounds. For Kwon, the team dynamic played a key role in securing the title.
“Our team is very supportive of each other and the team made me feel very welcome and a very positive environment. This team was amazing and worked very well in the tournament,” she said. “Overall, I am proud and happy that I could play on the course with Team B.C.”
Lee, the lone returning player from last year’s team added, “I think it was great, I had really great teammates, and it was nice creating a bond with Team B.C.”
Arora’s back-to-back rounds of 2-over 74 and Kwon’s scores of 73 and 76 counted on both days for Team B.C. The two lowest scores from the three-person team counted towards the combined team total for each round.
Team Ontario finished as runner-up with a combined score of 15-over. Team Alberta and Team Quebec finished in a tie for third at 30-over, with Team Manitoba rounding out the top five at 32-over.
Pate keeps pace
Day two began with warmer temperatures, but the winds picked up as the day progressed, flipping the script on Tuesday’s opening round conditions.
Macy Pate of Winston-Salem, N.C. maintains a one-shot lead following a 2-over 74 to now sit at 2-under for the tournament, ahead of Kaitlyn Schroeder from Jacksonville, Fla. who shot a 1-over 73 to move up one spot on the leaderboard at 1-under.
Pate began play on the back nine, recording a birdie and two bogeys before heading to the challenging front nine, where the winds played havoc for the field. After carding a birdie on the fifth hole, Pate struggled with consecutive bogeys before regaining her lead with a birdie on her final hole of the round.
Team Canada NextGen member, Michelle Xing of Richmond Hill, Ont. was one of only two players that shot under par on Wednesday, following a 1-under 71 to move to even par for the tournament to jump up to third. Xing opened with five birdies through her first seven holes.
“I got off to a good start,” said Xing. “Hitting my wedges well and putting the ball well. I didn’t think too much of it because it was the morning and was just trying to have some fun.”
Xing added that her putting has been a strong point over the first two rounds of the championship despite some challenging conditions for the field coupled with stronger winds over the first two days.
“It’s been tough, the pin positions today were really tough, the course has been pretty firm, and the greens have slope, but I think there are still some scoring holes, especially the par fives,” she added.
Angela (Yilin) Liu of Irvine, Calif., Eunseo Choi of Auckland, New Zealand, Anna Iwanaga of Hyogo, Japan and Team Canada member, Tillie Claggett of Calgary, Alta. are tied for fourth at 2-over. Fellow Team Canada member and 2023 Canadian Women’s Amateur champion, Lauren Kim of Surrey, B.C. is tied for eighth with four others at 3-over.
The field has been reduced to the top 68 and ties (73 players total) advancing to the final 36-holes with a cut line of 15-over.
In addition to winning the Duchess of Connaught Trophy, the Canadian Women’s Amateur champion will receive an exemption into the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open taking place at the Mississaugua Golf and Country Club in Mississauga, Ont. from August 20 – 24. The winner will also earn an exemption into the 2025 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship, taking place August 4 – 10 at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Bandon, Ore and an exemption into the 2026 Canadian Women’s Amateur, taking place at The Toronto Golf Club, July 20 – 24, 2026.
