Thornhill, Ont. (Golf Canada) – Grace St-Germain carded a third round 1-under 71 to head into the final round atop the leaderboard at the Canadian Junior Girls Championship at Thornhill Golf and Country Club.

St-Germain’s third round was highlighted by six birdies, including one on the final hole, that gave her the outright lead over Team Canada Development Squad member Valérie Tanguay.

“Valérie was playing really well and I was having a couple of bogeys and I just tried to come back,” St-Germain said. “I was just trying to make birdies and sometimes my putts just wouldn’t go in or my drive would bounce out into the rough and I just tried to keep it together.”

The 15-year-old Ottawa native sits one-stroke ahead of Tanguay at 5-under 211 after rounds of 70-70-71. After her third round she admitted to nerves playing a factor on Thursday.

“I’ve been quite nervous, I was given some good advice just to stay calm, stay in the moment and relax so I’ve been trying to do that,” St-Germain continued. “Tomorrow I’m just going to play my best and see what happens, I still haven’t totally grasped [being in the lead] yet.”

Tanguay, of St-Hyacinthe, Que., opened her third round with a 3-under 33 and held the outright lead on the closing nine until carding a double bogey on the par-4 14th hole. The 18-year-old currently sits at 4-under 212 heading into the final round, while Selena Costabile of Thornhill, Ont. jumped into third place after a 3-under 69. Costabile, 16, sits at even-par 216 for the championship and will play in the final pairing on Friday.

After 54 holes, Team Canada Development Squad member Naomi Ko sits in fourth place at 6-over 222, while Courtney Tolton of Mitchell, Ont. and Michelle Kim of Surrey, B.C. share fifth place at 7-over 223.

In the Juvenile Division (16 and under), St-Germain leads by five strokes over Costabile.

KOMOKA, Ont. – Brooke Henderson become the youngest winner of the PGA Women’s Championship of Canada presented by Nike Golf after an unbelievable two days at FireRock Golf Club.

The 16-year-old posted a two-day total of 13-under par, setting a new championship scoring record and adding her name to a list of champions that includes Lorie Kane, Cathy Sherk, Gail Graham, Nancy Harvey, Jessica Shepley and Alena Sharp.

“Coming into this week I saw all those great names on the trophy and I wanted to have my name alongside them,” the Team Canada member said. “It’s a great feeling to know I am able to compete against the best players in Canada and someday the best players in the world.”

Henderson’s 36-hole total of 131 (65-66) was five shots better than 2008 winner Hannah Jun of San Diego. Hamilton’s Alena Sharp, a three-time winner of the PGA Women’s Championship, finished third at six under. Samantha Richdale of Kelowna B.C. and American amateur Simin Feng rounded out the top five.

The Smith Falls, Ont., native’s 36-holes at FireRock Golf Club featured 14 birdies and an eagle, with a stretch of five birdies in a row on the back-nine Thursday afternoon.

“I struggled a little bit on the front nine – I was hitting some great shots, but the putts just weren’t dropping,” Henderson admitted about her front nine score of 2-under-par 34. “But that all changed starting on No. 10 with a birdie. I think I had five in a row coming down the stretch and it was awesome.”

With the win, Henderson, who is currently ranked No. 2 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, pads her already impressive tournament stats in 2014. She was the low amateur (T10) at the U.S. Women’s Open, finished tied for 26th at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, and tied for 45th at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic. She’s also has wins this year at the Canadian Women’s Tour event in Niagara Falls, the Porter Cup, the Ontario Women’s Amateur and the Scott Robertson.

The PGA Women’s Championship of Canada counted as the third and final stop on the Canadian Women’s Tour, with points awarded toward the Jocelyne Bourassa Player of the Year at the conclusion of the championship.

Similar to past years, the champion of each Canadian Women’s Tour stop and the PGA Women’s Championship of Canada will receive an exemption into the 2014 Canadian Pacific Women’s Open to be held Aug. 18-24, 2014 at London Hunt & Country Club in London, Ont. As well, two (2) additional exemptions were awarded to the top competitors, not otherwise exempt into the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open from the 2014 Canadian Women’s Tour Order of Merit.

As well, the top five (previously the top 3) players on the Canadian Women’s Tour season-ending Order of Merit will be awarded direct entry into LPGA Stage-2 Qualifying.

Henderson captured the Jocelyne Bourassa Player of the Year award, with Richdale and Feng earning exemptions into the CP Women’s Open.

WINDSOR, Ont. – Aurora’s Mary Ann Hayward will have her name engraved on the Investors Group Ontario Senior Women’s Amateur Championship trophy a fourth time, after winning her second consecutive title at the event 2014 edition of the event which took place at Ambassador Golf Club in Windsor.

The North Halton member entered the final round with a five-shot lead and would save her best for the last day. The Canadian, Ontario and Quebec Golf Hall of Famer would finish the day six-under (66) and end the tournament at seven-under to win comfortably by 12 shots.

“I wasn’t really thinking of the number of times or back-to-back, I think just shooting 66 today is what I am going to remember from this,” said Hayward after the round.

It was obvious the 54-year-old was on her game during the round, as she began the day with three-straight birdies. She did have back-to-back bogeys on the fifth and sixth holes, but was able to settle down after that. She birdied the ninth and then added four more on the back nine, including one on No. 18 that brought the gallery to their feet as she clinched the title.

After the round, Hayward thanked her caddie, Dave Mulholland, for keeping her calm after her mistakes.

“Dave is a great guy,” she said. “He is always encouraging me – just telling me ‘you’re good, just calm down’. I tend to beat myself up a little bit, so he just reels me back in.”

Her play throughout the week was spot on, but Hayward said it was her ball-striking and final-round putting that were the best parts of her game.

“The ball-striking was pretty good all three days,” she added. “The putter comes and goes, but today it was unbelievable. I think I made almost every birdie putt I had.”

Finishing in second spot was Whitevale Golf Club member and Uxbridge resident Gail Pimm. Pimm was the only other player to finish the round under par at one-under (71) for the round. She finished the tournament at five-over.

Picking up the bronze medal was Thornhill resident and Thornhill Golf and Country Club member Judith Kyrinis who carded a final round at two-over (74) finishing the tournament at six-over.  Etobicoke’s Terrill Samuel, nine-over, and Stouffville’s Ivy Steinberg, 14-over, rounded out the top five.

Hayward, along with Kyrinis and Steinberg will all represent Ontario in the inter-provincial competition at the Canadian Senior Women’s Championship, Aug. 19-21 at the Milby Golf Club in Sherbrooke, Que.

The 60+ division winner was Sue Postian, from London and the Sunningdale Golf Club who finished the tournament 19-over. The 70+ division was won by Ellen Horton, from Collingwood and the Blue Mountain Golf & Country Club, at 54-over for the tournament.

The Ada Mackenzie Matches Team was also announced after the final round. The matches are a team-competition between Ontario and New York State in the spring of 2015. The team members are: Hayward, Pimm, Kyrinis, Steinberg, Lynn Morrison, Andrea Blackwell, Marion Reid, Jane Hedges-Morrison, Postian and Sarah-Anne Smurlick.

The Investors Group Ontario Senior Women’s Amateur Championship is contested annually and features the province’s best female amateurs age 50 and over. Past champions of the event include Ada Mackenzie, Kay Helleur, Gayle Borthwick Hitchens and World Golf Hall of Fame member Marlene Stewart Streit.

AKRON, Ohio – Dustin Johnson is taking a leave of absence from golf to seek help for “personal challenges,” a swift end to his season that will keep him from playing the PGA Championship, the FedEx Cup playoffs and the Ryder Cup.

In a statement Thursday from Hambric Sports Management, the 30-year-old Johnson said his leave of absence was effective immediately. It did not indicate how long he would be out, though agent David Winkle told the PGA of America he would not be at the PGA Championship next week or the Ryder Cup at the end of September.

“I will use this time to seek professional help for personal challenges I have faced,” Johnson said. “By committing the time and resources necessary to improve my mental health, physical well-being and emotional foundation, I am confident that I will be better equipped to fulfill my potential and become a consistent champion.”

He asked for privacy “as I embark upon this mission of self-improvement.”

Johnson, who tied for fourth in the U.S. Open and tied for 12th in the British Open, was No. 5 in the Ryder Cup standings and virtually certain to earn one of nine automatic spots when qualifying ends next week at the PGA Championship.

As long as he stays in the top nine, he will be replaced by the next player in the standings.

“We will certainly miss Dustin Johnson at Gleneagles, and we wish him the best,” U.S. captain Tom Watson said. “As one of the longest hitters in the game with an undefeated record of 3-0 at Medinah in 2012, he has clearly been an asset for the United States team. That said, the United States is a team with an abundance of talent.”

Players at the Bridgestone Invitational said they were surprised by the announcement.

“If anything, I just hope this is the start of something really, really positive,” Zach Johnson said. “And I don’t know what happened. I don’t know what the specifics are, nor should I know. That’s none of my business. I feel for him.”

Justin Rose called it “big blow for the tour.”

“He’s always been a charismatic player and popular player out here,” Rose said. “He’s not going to play in the Ryder Cup. That will be a blow for the American team. Just wish him well, whatever he’s facing right now. Can’t be easy for him.”

Johnson played poorly in his first Ryder Cup at Wales, not winning a match until the final day in singles. He was the only American to go undefeated last time in Medinah, winning both fourballs matches with Matt Kuchar and handily beating Nicolas Colsaerts in a singles match.

“I’ll tell you what, you always want guys with that kind of power to play on any team,” Tiger Woods said. “I’ve been his partner in the Presidents Cup in Australia, and the firepower that he has, it’s pretty cool to be around. It’s not too often you see the guy carry the ball 320 (yards) without even trying, and then when he steps on it, he can hit it even further. When he gets it going, it’s awfully impressive.”

Johnson was replaced in the PGA Championship by Jerry Kelly. Pat Perez is now the first alternate, and will get into the PGA provided the Bridgestone Invitational winner is already eligible.

Johnson won the HSBC Champions in Shanghai last October at the start of the PGA Tour’s wraparound season. He has seven top 10s this year on the PGA Tour and was at No. 4 in the FedEx Cup standings. He will not be replaced in the 125-man field at The Barclays when the FedEx Cup playoffs begin Aug. 21.

It’s the second time in two years that Johnson has missed a major under curious circumstances.

He pulled out of the Masters in 2012, saying that he tweaked his back while lifting a jet ski. He wound up missing three months, and won in his second tournament back.

Johnson played in the final group in the third round of the British Open with Rory McIlroy, fading with a 71-72 weekend and tying for 12th. He missed the cut the following week at the RBC Canadian Open, and then withdrew from the World Golf Championship at Firestone.

The PGA Tour, which does not comment on disciplinary action, offered little in a statement.

“We have nothing to add to Dustin’s statement, but we wish him well and look forward to his return to the PGA Tour in the future,” the tour said.

Johnson is No. 16 in the world ranking with eight PGA Tour victories. He is the first player since Tiger Woods to go from college to winning in each of his first seven seasons on the PGA Tour. He lost a three-shot lead in the final round of the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, closing with an 82. Later that year, he was assessed a two-shot penalty on the final hole of the PGA Championship for grounding his club in a patch of sand, not realizing it was a bunker at Whistling Straits.

Johnson last year got engaged to Paulina Gretzky, the daughter of NHL great Wayne Gretzky.

Niagara Falls, Ont. – After Wednesday’s suspension of play during the second round of the Canadian Junior Boys Championship, Austin James, 18, of Bath, Ont. resumed his round at 7:00 a.m. to grab the top spot on the leaderboard.

James shot a second round 8-under 64 that matched the course record on Legends on the Niagara’s Battlefield Course, originally set on Tuesday by 17-year-old Patrick Murphy of Crossfield, Alta. James was 9-under through 12 holes at the time of yesterday’s suspension for the championship. He birdied two additional holes when play resumed Thursday morning to finish at 11-under 133.

“I came back out this morning planning to just keep playing the way I was playing yesterday. The first couple swings were a little tight because I was a little nervous, but other than that it was good.” said James. “I’m going to go get some sleep, then when I come back hopefully the next round will go the same way.”

A.J. Armstrong, 17, of St. Albert, Alta. sits five strokes behind James at 8-under 136, while Team Canada Development Squad member Matt Williams, 18, from Calgary is in third. After an eagle on the par-5 11th hole, Williams sits at 5-under 139 heading into the third round. Murphy, who shot 64 in the first round to lead, fell into a tie for sixth after shooting a second round 5-over 77.

Thursday’s third round will begin at approximately 3:45 p.m. on Legends on the Niagara’s Battlefield Course, with the field being cut to low 70 players and ties.

In the Inter-Provincial Team Competition, which was contested over the first 36 holes of the Championship, Team Alberta claimed first place over Team Manitoba. The Team Alberta contingent of Tyler Saunders, 18, of Sturgeon County, Andrew Harrison, 17, of Camrose, and Jack Wood, 18, of Banff, finished at 5-under 283. Team Manitoba finished four strokes behind at 1-under-287, while Team British Columbia was third at even-par.

In the juvenile division (16 and under) Team Canada Development Squad member Tony Gil of Vaughan, Ont. shares first place with Tristan Mandur of Mill Bay, B.C. The pair sit at 1-under-par 143.

Winnipeg, Man. (Golf Canada) – Top male amateur golfers from Australia, Canada, Colombia, New Zealand, Taiwan and the United States will vie for national supremacy at the 2014 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship.

The championship will be contested August 1-7 at both Elmhurst Golf and Country Club and Southwood Golf and Country Club in Winnipeg. The Canadian Men’s Amateur Qualifier will be held on Friday, August 1 at Elmhurst Golf and Country Club. The practice rounds along with the first 36 holes of the championship will be held at both clubs with the final two days contested at Elmhurst Golf and Country Club.

“We are thrilled to bring another national championship back to Winnipeg,” said Adam Helmer, Tournament Director. “The field is very strong this year and both golf courses will certainly challenge some of the world’s top amateur players this week.”

The winner of the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship will earn exemptions into both the 2015 RBC Canadian Open at Glen Abbey Golf Club, as well as the 2014 U.S. Amateur Championship. Additionally, the winner is eligible to receive exemptions into the U.S. Junior Amateur, U.S. Mid-Amateur and the USGA Senior Amateur Championship, if applicable.

The 240-player field is led this year by Team Canada’s Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., alongside his teammates, Taylor Pendrith of Richmond Hill, Ont., Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C. and Chris Hemmerich of Kitchener, Ont., who all ranked inside the Top-100 on the World Amateur Golf rankings. Garrett Rank of Elmira, Ont. sits narrowly outside at No. 109.

A recent graduate of the Kent State University Golden Flashes, Conners is the field’s highest ranked Canadian at No. 33 in world. In 2013, Conners finished runner-up at the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in Victoria and was a semi-finalist at the U.S. Men’s Amateur Championship. His teammate Pendrith recently finished T43 at the RBC Canadian Open and also captured the prestigious Monroe Invitational in June.

Ranked inside the Top-55 in the world, California’s Rico Hoey (No. 27) and Lee McCoy (No. 53) of New Pork Richey, Fla., will also vie for the historic Earl Grey Trophy.

In 2008, Elmhurst Golf and Country Club played host to the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship and co-hosted the 2011 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship, while Southwood Golf and Country Club recently hosted the 2014 Canadian University/College Championship.

“Everyone at Elmhurst has been looking forward to hosting the Canadian Men’s Amateur as part of our centennial celebrations,” said Dave McMillan, Director of Golf Operations at Elmhurst. “The members have rallied around this championship and we’re working really hard to make this a memorable experience for everyone involved.”

Additionally, teams will compete for the Willingdon Cup that will take place in conjunction with the first two rounds, with three-member teams competing towards an overall team total. Team British Columbia captured the title in 2013, finishing one-strokes ahead of Team Ontario. This year Team Yukon and Team Northwest Territories will also be competing in the competition.

The final spots (minimum of five) into the field will be determined at the Canadian Men’s Amateur Qualifier on Friday, August 1. Pairings and start times for the qualifier can be found here.

After the first two rounds the field will be reduced to the low 70 players and ties for the final 36 holes of the championship finishing on Thursday, August 7 at Elmhurst Golf and Country Club. In addition, admission is free to all spectators throughout the week.

AKRON, Ohio – Tiger Woods finds out over the next two weeks if his season is over or just getting started.

The first stop is Firestone, where Woods is an eight-time winner and the defending champion. After that, he heads to Valhalla Golf Club for the PGA Championship, where he won in 2000 on his way to an unprecedented sweep of the majors.

At stake is a chance to extend a season already cut short by back surgery.

“I would like to win these two events and not have to worry about anything,” Woods said Wednesday. “That’s the plan. That’s the mindset. That’s the focus. We’ll see how it falls after these few weeks. I’m so far out of it right now that I need to play well to … get myself into the playoffs and ultimately – hopefully – play all four weeks.”

It’s hard to believe that just one year ago, Woods won this World Golf Championship by seven shots for his fifth victory of the year.

Not much has gone his way since then, mainly because of back pain that eventually led to surgery on March 31 and kept him out for three months. The Bridgestone Invitational will be only his third tournament since his return from surgery a month ago at Congressional, where he missed the cut.

And during his time at home, his position in two key standings plunged.

Woods is No. 215 in the FedEx Cup – only the top 125 qualifying for the playoffs.

He is No. 70 in the Ryder Cup standings, so far away from being among the nine automatic qualifiers after next week that even if he were to win at Firestone, he wouldn’t even crack the top 20 in the standings.

At least he is playing courses that bring happy memories.

Woods has been so dominant at Firestone that he averages $10,138 for every hole he has played in competition dating to 1997. His victory last year was the third time he had won at Firestone by at least seven shots.

But that’s because he was playing well.

Firestone also is the course where he finished 30 shots out of the lead in 2010, a week before he hooked up with Sean Foley, his third swing coach as a pro.

“There’s no secret formula,” he said. “It’s just go out and play well. This golf course is right in front of you. There’s no hidden secrets out here. You’ve just got to go out there and play well.”

Different from previous injuries is that Woods said he returned to competition not much longer after he was fit enough to play. After various knee injuries, he worked himself into shape by playing a lot of golf at home. This time, he only got in a couple of rounds.

Missing the cut at Congressional was satisfying because he knew he was pain-free. Finishing in 69th place at the British Open – his worst position at a major when making the cut – was more of a disappointment. Woods said he is progressing, though it starts with eliminating mistakes.

“My good shots are still really good,” he said. “My bad shots need to be in positions where I know I should miss the golf ball, instead of places where I have been missing it.”

The field is the toughest of the year for the World Golf Championships, missing only Dustin Johnson (No. 16) from the top 50.

Rory McIlroy is playing for the first time since his wire-to-wire win at the British Open two weeks ago. Woods is playing the opening two rounds with Martin Kaymer, who went wire-to-wire at Pinehurst No. 2 to win the U.S. Open.

McIlroy and Henrik Stenson each have a mathematical chance to replace Adam Scott at No. 1 in the world.

Some of the pairings for the opening two rounds are a reminder that the Ryder Cup is not too far away. Justin Rose is playing with Rickie Fowler, who has finished second in the past two majors. McIlroy is playing with Matt Kuchar. Jordan Spieth is paired with Victor Dubuisson of France, both expected to be Ryder Cup rookies.

Woods and Kaymer would be another Ryder Cup attraction – assuming Woods is on the team. U.S. captain Tom Watson has said he wants Woods on the team, provided he is healthy and playing well. At the moment, Woods is healthy.

“I think what it’s going to boil down to, would be my guess, is how healthy Tiger is and how he feels like his game is,” said Jim Furyk, who has secured his spot on the team for the ninth straight time. “But it’s hard to imagine not having a healthy Tiger Woods on the team. He’s arguably the best player ever. If he’s healthy and he’s been playing, it’s hard to imagine he wouldn’t be on the team. But that’s not my call.”

That decision is for Watson.

And Woods can make it a lot easier depending on how he plays the next two weeks.

Calgary – Rockville, Maryland’s Daniel Balin and Peterborough, Ont.’s Ted Brown shared the lead at 8-under par when play was suspended due to dangerous weather on Thursday at the ATB Financial Classic. Balin shot 64 to take the clubhouse lead, while Brown was 8-under through 15 holes.

The pair was one stroke ahead of defending champion Joe Panzeri of Meridian, Idaho and Linus Gillgren of Sweden, who shot a pair of 65s earlier in the day.

“I hit it pretty solid all day. I got a couple of good breaks to start off my round and didn’t really hit it off line, so I was able to take advantage of a few of the opportunities I had and just played solid,” said Balin, who recently became a PGA Tour Canada member thanks to some timely play earlier in the season.

A teaching pro out of Burning Tree Country Club in Greenwich, Connecticut, Balin has played in the last four PGA Championships thanks to solid performances in the Professional National Championship, and recently earned conditional status as one of the top three non-members on the Order of Merit through the Staal Foundation Open presented by Tbaytel. He open qualified into the field at the SIGA Dakota Dunes Open presented by SaskTel, where he finished in the top 20 to gain entry into the following week’s The Players Cup, where he finished tied for 13th. His earnings were enough to put him 52^nd on the Order of Merit six events, second among non-members.

“I just needed to go out and play,” said Balin, who also plays on NEC Series – PGA Tour Latinoamérica, where he has two top-10 finishes. “I finished top 20 in Saskatoon as well as the next week and found out there were three spots for non-members. I’m excited that I can come out here and hopefully play the rest of the events.”

With his number of starts on PGA Tour Canada and in South America making him ineligible to play the PGA Championship again this year, Balin has changed his focus towards a goal of making it to the PGA Tour as a full-time tour player.

“It’s a bit of a downer with that being always something to look forward to, but at the end of the day, trying to play full time, it’s something that I had to give up,” said Balin. “I experienced it four years in a row playing in a major, and I figured the next time I play will hopefully be as a player and not as a teaching pro or club professional.”

Brown, who has been named Freedom 55 Financial Canadian Player of the Week twice in his first season on PGA Tour Canada, continued what has been a strong season with a good start on Thursday to sit one shot ahead of Gillgren and Panzeri, who is looking to defend his title in Calgary.

Thornhill, Ont. (Golf Canada) – Grace St-Germain fired a second consecutive 2-under 70 to grab the outright lead after the second round of the Canadian Junior Girls Championship at Thornhill Golf and Country Club. 

During play on Wednesday the second round was suspended due to inclement weather at 2:40 p.m. ET and resumed after a 1.5 hour delay at 4:10 p.m. ET.

After the brief delay, St-Germain returned to the course and carded birdies on three of her final six holes to close with a 2-under 34 back-nine. The Ottawa native currently sits at 4-under 140 for the championship one-stroke ahead of Team Canada Development Squad member Valérie Tanguay. 

“I think the delay got me to calm down a bit and just regroup and I think that was good for me,” St-Germain said. “These are probably my best tournament scores in a row so far.”

Tanguay of St-Hyacinthe, Que., narrowly trails St-Germain after a second-round 1-under 71, while Christina Foster of Concord, Ont. vaulted into third place after a second round 4-under 68. Foster’s second round is the lowest score of the championship and was highlighted by a back-nine 4-under 32.

Nova Scotia’s Allison Chandler of Chester sits in fourth at 1-over 145 after a 1-under 71, while Michelle Kim of Surrey, B.C. sits in fifth place at 2-over 146.

In the Inter-Provincial Team competition that is conducted over the first 36 holes of the championship Team Quebec and Team Ontario went to a hole-by-hole playoff after finishing the championship tied at 5-over 293. Team Quebec’s contingent of Tanguay, Ocèane Jacques of St-Gabriel de Valcartier and Annie Lacombe of Laval captured the title on the third playoff hole. The teams played the first hole continuously until a champion was decided.

In the Juvenile Division (16 and under), St-Germain continues to lead by five strokes over Chandler.
