PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — The Future Links, driven by Acura Prairie Championship is set to take place from June 15-17 at Portage Golf Club.

With support from Golf Manitoba, the Future Links, driven by Acura Prairie Championship is the fifth of six regional junior championships presented in partnership with Acura. The 54-hole stroke play tournament will begin with a practice round on June 14 before the tournament gets underway with round one on June 15.

Before the golf course first opened on May 31, 1922, the land was littered with scrap iron until the club founders planted hundreds of trees on the course to divide the fairways. Now, Portage Golf Club is a true island gem and a beautifully manicured 18 hole golf course that is situated along the shores of Crescent Lake.

“Golf Canada and Golf Manitoba are delighted to present the 2018 Future Links, driven by Acura Prairie Championship,” said Lisa Andersen, this week’s Tournament Director and Director of Competitions at Golf Manitoba. “We are certain that Portage Golf Club will challenge Canada’s premier junior golfers as they showcase their skills.”

The field will consist of 33 junior golfers in the Junior Boys Division with the top six earning exemptions into the 2018 Canadian Junior Boys Championship on July 30-Aug. 2 at Medicine Hat Golf & Country Club in Medicine Hat, Alta. A tie for the sixth position will be decided by a playoff following the conclusion of play.

The Junior Girls Division will consist of 10 golfers with the top six (including ties) earning an exemption into the 2018 Canadian Junior Girls Championship on July 31- Aug. 3 at Beach Grove Golf Club in Tsawwassen, B.C.

The Atlantic Edition of the 2018 Future Links, driven by Acura Championship will conclude the regional championship series this summer from July 16-19 in Port Blandford, Nfld., at Twin Rivers Golf Course

ABOUT THE COURSE
First official opening day was May 31, 1922.

Joined the Manitoba Golf Association in 1924.

The finishing three holes run along picturesque Crescent Lake.

LACHUTE, Que. — Robbie Latter prevailed in a playoff victory while Emily Romancew went wire-to-wire to win in the girls division of the Future Links, driven by Acura Quebec Championship at Club de golf Lachute.

The battle for medallist honours in the boys division was fierce at Club de golf Lachute. The end of 54 holes saw three player sharing top spot — Robbie Latter, Remi Chartier and Frédéric Rousseau— with a playoff set to decide the victory.

Though the competition was stiff, Latter and Chartier outlasted Rousseau with 2 birdies at the second playoff hole. In the end, it was Latter who captured the fourth playoff hole with a birdie to win the Future Links, driven by Acura Quebec Championship.

The Mississauga, Ont., talent had started off the day tied for eighth with his younger brother. A share of the tournament-low 69 (alongside fourth-place Olivier Ménard) helped catapult him to share a piece of the lead before ultimately earning medallist honours.

“This is my first big win,” said the seventeen-year-old Team Ontario Member. “I just put everything together and stayed really calm throughout the round, making sure it was more of a marathon.”

Olivier Ménard (Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Que.), Freddy D’Angelo (Fonthill, Ont.) and Cam Kellett (London, Ont.) round out top-six players in the boys division advancing to the 2018 Canadian Junior Boys Championship on July 30-Aug. 2 at Medicine Hat Golf & Country Club in Medicine Hat, Alta.

In the junior girls division, Emily Romancew held on to claim victory after three consecutive days atop the leaderboard.

The Pierrefonds, Que., native ran into some trouble with four bogeys. A birdie on the last hole, however, helped her secure a comfortable 3-stroke win at 3-over-par 219.

“I had such a great day with the girls. I’m so happy with this result” said Romancew. “There’s no doubt that I’d rather be on the golf course than at home prepping for final exams!”

Ottawa, Ont. product Haley Yerxa shot the low-score in the girls division at 1 over. Though she struggled with a couple of bogeys in the front-nine, Yerxa finished strong with a birdie on the last hole to finish the tournament at 6-over-par 222 in solo-second. Élizabeth Labbé finished in third place at 8-over-par 224.

Rounding out the top six headed to the 2018 Canadian Junior Girls Championship held July 31-Aug. 3 at Beach Grove Golf Club in Tsawwassen, B.C. are: Lory Paradis (Blainville, Que.), Mathilde Denicourt (St-Césaire, Que.) and Heather McLean (Port Williams, N.S.) at 14-over-par 230.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Team Canada Young Pro Squad member Augusta James is the top Canadian at the Four Winds Invitational at Blackthorn Golf Club after two rounds. The Bath, Ont., talent sits T3 heading into the final round, three shots behind the lead at 7-under-par 137.

Also making the cut into the final round are Samantha Richdale  of Calgary (-3) and Megan Osland of Kelowna (-2).

Just as there was two players tied for the lead after the first round of the Four Winds Invitational, such is the story following play on day two at Blackthorn Golf Club, only this time Samantha Wagner (Windermere, Florida) is joined by Louise Stahle (Lund, Sweden).

They both sit at 10-under par overall and will be joined by Jordan Britt (Chattanooga, Tennessee) in the final pairing tomorrow, who is three shots back at 7-under.

“I’ll keep being aggressive, it’s my gameplan,” said Wagner, who carded five birdies and one bogey for a 4-under par effort today. “If I deviate, that’s when I start to struggle. Keep going after things when I feel comfortable with it and that’s when I’ll play well.”

As for Stahle, she remained consistent, firing a second-straight 5-under par 65 to get her to the double-digit under par mark for the tournament.

“Really hot start with four consecutive birdies. The putter was just really strong today,” Stahle said after finding seven birdies in the second round. “A good course for my eyes and I’m enjoying it. I’m happy to have two really solid rounds and try to make a third good round.”

Meanwhile, Britt finds herself in the final pairing for the first time since the 2015 Garden City Charity Classic. She finished fourth in that event, so is looking to capitalize tomorrow with a better result.

“The opportunity is exciting and knowing what I’ve been working on in my game has put me into contention is great feedback,” said Britt, who shot 5-under par today. “I think I prefer to chase. I don’t know what it’s like to be chased on the Symetra Tour just yet, but I hope to find out what that feels like soon. Mentally, I will try to focus on my one shot and not get ahead of myself.”

Also at the 7-under par mark for the 7th annual Four Winds Invitational is Augusta James (Bath, Ontario). She’ll be joined tomorrow in the penultimate group by Panitta Yusabai (Pattaya, Thailand), one of 12 players at 5-under par, and Cheyenne Knight (Aledo, Texas), who is solo fifth at 6-under par in her first career Symetra Tour event following an illustrious career at the University of Alabama.

“I like this golf course, I’ve played well on it before and I’ve played well the last two days,” said James, who went 3-under par today to enter the final round tied for third. “I like courses that are in good shape, honestly that’s my No. 1 thing. Even if the layouts are different or whatever, this course is really in good shape.”

A total of 71 players made the cut of even par to compete on Sunday at Blackthorn Golf Club. Play begins at 9 a.m. tomorrow of No. 1 and No. 10 tees.

ABE NOT BACKING DOWN IN FIRST CAREER SYMETRA TOUR START

Another member of the University of Alabama women’s golf family is turning in a strong showing this week at the Four Winds Invitational, as Lakareber Abe (The Woodlands, Texas) is not letting the nerves take over in her first career Symetra Tour event.

“I’m just trying to handle them. They’re not going away, but they’re getting better,” Abe said.

The Crimson Tide record-holder for low round (63) is tied for 24th at 3-under par overall; pretty impressive for her first tournament as a professional.

“It’s exciting, a little nerve-racking,” said Abe, who shot 1-under par today. “It’s something you dream of since you were a kid, so it’s really fun to have this chance. There were a little bit [of nerves] today because you still have to go out and play a good 18 holes to make the cut.”

She had an impressive list of collegiate accomplishments, including former two-time Second Team All-SEC performer to her name. In addition, Abe was named a Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) Third Team All-American her sophomore year.

One aspect of her amateur career that Abe said truly helped get her to this point is playing for Alabama. Not only did the team prepare her, but the tree of athletes who have gone through the program and now compete professionally that she has at her disposal to learn from.

“Every year we had five or six really good girls, so you’re constantly competing,” Abe said. “You’re lucky enough to have people like Stephanie [Meadow], and Janie [Jackson] and Emma [Talley], who have done it before you. Those people to call, ask for advice and ask for help. It definitely makes a huge difference coming out of there.”

If you’re lucky enough to don the Crimson and White like Abe, the plethora of guidance as she begins her professional career is never-ending.

“These are the girls that I recruited, so it’s cool to see them out here,” said Stephanie Meadow (Jordanstown, Northern Ireland), a 2014 University of Alabama graduate. “No matter what year you’re at, when you graduated, or if you played with them or not, Alabama alums are going to stick together and do what they can.”

Abe tees off No. 1 at 9:11 a.m. tomorrow in the final round and is paired with Muni He (Chengdu, China) and Annabel Dimmock (London, England).

VICTORIA, B.C.— With low scores hard to come by Saturday afternoon at Uplands Golf Club, Lufkin, Texas, native Sam Fidone fought through a windy day to shoot 66 to take a two-stroke lead over Blake Sattler into the final round of the Bayview Place DCBankOpen presented by Times Colonist.

Three Canadian players head into Sunday’s round in the top ten. Team Canada’s Jared Du Toit is the top Canadian three strokes off the lead, alone in third. He is joined by Calgary’s Wes Heffernan (-9) and Stonewall’s Aaron Cockerill (-8) who sit T5 and T9, respectively.

Beginning the day in the second-to-last group, Fidone quickly narrowed the gap to one shot between him and overnight leader Zach Wright, with back-to-back birdies out of the gate.

“I watched Wes (Heffernan) make a 35- or 40-footer on one, so I decided to do the same thing,” said Fidone. “Holes 1 and 2, making birdies, that start affirmed to me that I was doing the right things.”

From there, Fidone cruised through the rest of the nine despite tough conditions, taking advantage of the par-5 seventh, with his third birdie of the round.

“I looked at the Weather Channel this morning and saw 17- or 18 mile-per-hour winds. On Monday, I said ‘I hope it blows out here at least one day,’ and I got my wish,” said Fidone.“Being from Texas, a windy part of the world, it’s fun to play in wind, and I don’t actually mind it that much.”
The defining moment of the round came on the par-5 12th hole. Despite hitting his tee shot a bit fat by his own admission, Fidone hit his second to the edge of the fringe, 15 feet from the hole. Utilizing a shot he learned from a friend at Southern Methodist University, Fidone elected to belly-wedge the ball, taking a potential unpredictable jump from the collar out of the equation.

Fidone watched his shot roll into the hole, giving him a three-stroke lead.

“I’ve never made an eagle like that, I’ve never bellied an eagle, so watching it go in was awesome.”

After making his only bogey of the day on the 13th, Fidone made five consecutive pars to finish off his 66.

“I’ll stick to the same morning routine I always do tomorrow,” said Fidone. “it’s impossible not to think about what ifs, but you have to finish that thought and get on to the next task at hand.”

The Bayview Place DCBank Open is the second of three events on the B.C. Golf Swing, which entails tournaments in picturesque Vancouver, Victoria and next week’s Tour stop in Kelowna.

GALLOWAY, N.J. -Sei Young Kim birdied seven of her last 10 holes for a share of the lead with Celine Herbin in the suspended second round of the ShopRite LPGA.

Kim was 10 under for the tournament with three holes left when play was suspended because of darkness.

Herbin had her second straight 5-under 66.

Herbin birdied No. 18 after play resumed following a delay of nearly three hours because of lightning strikes in the area. The Frenchwoman left her job as a biochemical engineer at age 27 to become a professional golfer.

Herbin had made the cut in just five of 11 tournaments prior to this week.

“There is no secret really, just keep working on what I’m doing,” she said. “I don’t care if you miss 10 cuts if you win the 11th. The missed cut doesn’t mean too much. What means more is the work you do every day.”

Kim, a six-time LPGA Tour winner, was one of 36 players unable to complete the round.

Mariah Stackhouse (65), Annie Park (65), Ashleigh Buhai (66) and Su Oh (two holes left) were two strokes back. Stackhouse is trying to become the tour’s first black winner.

“It’s not added pressure,” said Stackhouse, a second-year LPGA Tour player. “When I’m on the golf course, I’m not performing as a black American. I’m just trying to make as many birdie putts as I can and saving all the pars that I can.”

Two-time champion Anna Nordqvist had a 73 to drop from a tie for first to a tie for 34th at 3 under.

Canadians Brooke Henderson and Brittany Marchand were able to complete the round on Saturday. Henderson posted a 4-under-par 67 to climb up the leaderboard while Team Canada’s Marchand shot a 1-under-par 70.

MUNDELEIN, Ill. – It was moving day for Canada’s Ryan Yip at the Rust-Oleum Championship on Saturday. The Calgary, Alta., product climbed 32 spots to sit tied for fifth at 12-under-par 204 going into Sunday’s final round.

Fellow Canadian Mike Weir had a tough day but remains in the tournament going into the final round at 5-under-par 211.

Kyle Jones carded a flawless 4-under 68 in the third round of the Rust-Oleum Championship to take the first 54-hole lead of his Web.com Tour career. The 24-year-old from Victorville, California is 15-under-par heading into Sunday, one ahead of Christian Brand and two clear of Justin Lower and Chase Wright.

There are 13 players within four strokes of Jones, including 36-hole leader Maverick McNealy, who carded a 1-over 73 on Saturday at Ivanhoe Club.

Playing in Saturday’s final group was something new for Jones, but he found comfort in being paired with McNealy. McNealy struggled on Saturday afternoon while Jones remained poised and moved to the top of the leaderboard.

“All the nerves I felt going into today, I felt before the round,” he said. “Once I got on the course it was back to golf and trying to make birdies. It was nice playing with a guy that you know.”

Jones made four birdies in the third round, but it was the par-saves that kept the momentum positive. Each time the Baylor University graduate missed the green, he got up-and-down to remain blemish-free. Jones left little doubt when left with a putt for par, as each attempt hit the back of the cup and disappeared into the hole.

“That’s how I putt,” said Jones. “I don’t see the lines where I die them in. I like to ram them in, and if I miss I have a 3- or 4-footer coming back. I’m putting good, so I feel comfortable over those.”

Jones has posted one top-10 this season and is currently No. 67 on the money list. In 2017, the 24-year-old competed on mini-tours before regaining his status at the Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament this past December. A win in Mundelein would move the three-year pro to No. 12 on the money list and one step closer to earning his PGA TOUR card.

“I’m excited,” said Jones, about the challenge Sunday presents. “I’m going to try and not think about it too much because it can get in my head.”

Brand made a significant move on Saturday, posting seven birdies and no bogeys. Last year, the Dick Nugent layout wasn’t kind to the Charleston, West Virginia native as he carded 72-73 and missed the cut. Brand had no trouble on Saturday, hitting nine of 14 fairways and 17 of 18 greens in regulation en route to the second lowest third-round score.

“Today was a great day,” said Brand, who matched his personal best third-round score on Tour. “Ivanhoe played awesome for us. The course is in phenomenal shape and I hit a couple of good shots, so it worked out.”

Brand entered the week No. 124 on the money list. In 13 starts, the 30-year-old Marshall University graduate has made five cuts with his best performance coming at the Savannah Golf Championship (T22). In just his second year on Tour, Brand has a chance to win his first Web.com Tour event and move closer to the top 25 on the money list.

“There’s still a long way to go,” said Brand. “Everyone knows how 18 holes can go. There are a lot of golf shots to be hit. Great round today, I’ll enjoy it for now. Try to rest up and be ready.”

MEMPHIS, Tenn. –  Andrew Putnam matched the best round of his short PGA Tour career with a 6-under 64 and tied Dustin Johnson atop the St. Jude Classic on Saturday.

In position to reclaim the No. 1 ranking with a victory, Johnson had a 65 to match Putnam at 15-under 195.

A two-time winner on the Web.com Tour, Putnam birdied No. 18.

Putnam was bogey-free playing a group ahead. Now he will play in the last group on the final day for the first time on the PGA Tour with Johnson.

Stewart Cink, who had a hole-in-one on No. 8, matched his low round of the year with a 64 to get to 10 under.

Canadians Corey Conners and Ben Silverman also made the cut and head into the final round at 1-over-par 211.

LACHUTE, Que. — Remi Chartier and Emily Romancew fired a 1 under and 2 over, respectively, to lead their divisions after the second round of the Future Links, driven by Acura Quebec Championship.

The battle in the boys division heated up today as players vied for top position, with Chartier ultimately overtaking the lead.

Chartier, who started the day tied for third, began the round strong with a bogey-free front-nine. Though he struggled with three consecutive birdies on holes 14, 15 and 16, a strong finish gave him a one-stroke advantage heading the final day at 1-under-par 143.

“The back nine wasn’t really to my liking. But what did go well was my luck,” said the seventeen-year-old, who currently resides in Naples, Fla. “If I manage my game well tomorrow, it should be just fine.”

Frédéric Rousseau (Longueuil, Que.) and Brandon White (Bourget, Ont.) fired even-par 72s for the second day to share a piece of second close behind to round off the top-three.

In the junior girls division, Emily Romancew posted a low-round 2 over par on Saturday to sit atop the leaderboard for the second consecutive day.

“With the wind in the morning, it was tough to pick the right club but my putts were going in and it shows in my score,” said the Pierrefonds, Que., native. “Tonight will be rest time with the family so that I’m ready to go tomorrow!”

Romancew, who was the only junior girl to score in the red during round one, built a comfortable 5-stroke lead to head into the final round at an even-par 144.

Élizabeth Labbé of Levis, Que. overcame a rough seven-bogey second round to share a piece of second with Ottawa’s Haley Yerxa, who scored a low-round 2 over alongside Romancew.

The top six finishers in the junior boys’ division will earn exemptions into the 2018 Canadian Junior Boys Championship on July 30-Aug. 2 at Medicine Hat Golf & Country Club in Medicine Hat, Alta. The top six finishers in the junior girls’ division will earn exemptions into the 2018 Canadian Junior Girls Championship on July 31-Aug. 3 at Beach Grove Golf Club in Tsawwassen, B.C.

MONTREAL, Que. – Golf Québec is proud to announce that Mario Brisebois, the well-known columnist of Le Journal de Montréal, current blogger for Golf Canada and mongolf.ca, and precious collaborator of the Golf International magazine, will be inducted into the Québec Golf Hall of Fame.

Native to the Mauricie area, Mario stood out from the crowd during his years as a junior at the Club de golf Shawinigan and on the provincial stage. As a matter of fact, he was selected to represent Golf Québec, formerly known as the Québec Golf Association (QGA), in the prestigious competition for the Williamson Cup held in 1970 at the Aronimink Golf Club, in Philadelphia. This was a huge honour in his region where very few juniors had the opportunity to participate in such high level tournaments.

Later on, his studies and budding career as a journalist at Le Journal de Montréal kept him too busy to participate in sporting events. As a result, he stopped competing in amateur golf tournaments. Fortunately, Mario’s love for the game of golf continued. In 1973, he had the best seat in the house to witness Jocelyne Bourassa’s triumph at the Canadian LPGA event, La Canadienne, held at the Montréal Municipal Golf Club. And rightly so, as he was nothing less than the official caddy of the legendary competitor, also a Shawinigan native, in this historic championship.

Throughout his career as a journalist, Mario dedicated his time to covering golf, tennis and skiing. He always made a point to understand every aspect of the sport he was writing about. For this reason, he was honoured in 1985 as Best Journalist by Tennis Québec and was inducted in the Laurentian Ski Hall of Fame in 2003.

Mario always attached great importance to supporting Québec’s hopefuls. Many athletes, both amateurs and professionals, benefited from exceptional media coverage throughout their athletic development. A warm, cheerful and energetic character, he always promoted sports with extraordinary generosity throughout the province and in Canada. His work and leadership have earned him the recognition and respect of athletes and the entire industry.

At Golf Québec, more specifically, we are grateful for Mario, who along with a group of colleagues created the Pierre-Nadon Prize in 2005. Every year, the recipient of this honour is a person who has contributed in an exceptional way to the development and promotion of golf in Québec.

Mario will become the 29th member inducted into the Québec Golf Hall of Fame during a ceremony to be held at a date later this year.
