David White, Bryan Hoops and Todd Wiseman co-lead Senior division;
Ronnie Clark maintains Super Senior division lead

WINNIPEG, Man. – Team Manitoba has won the Inter-Provincial Team title for the first time at the 2026 Canadian Men’s Senior Championship, presented by BDOat Niakwa Country Club in Winnipeg, Man.

Team Manitoba entered the day one back of Team British Columbia and shot a collective 1-over to finish the team competition at 4-over to win by five shots. Team Manitoba was represented by David White, Todd Fanning and Jay Doyle all of Winnipeg.

For the trio from Winnipeg, it had been something they had talked about for some time.

“At home at Niakwa, Todd and I have talked for years, about winning a senior title for Manitoba and we got the right piece of the puzzle that came with us [White], just thrilled, it’s great,” said Doyle.

“When I heard David was on fire again today, I knew Jay and I wouldn’t be as bad as we were yesterday,” said Fanning with a laugh. “You never quite know what anyone else is going to shoot but I felt quite confident being only one back going into today we had everyone where we wanted them.”

Fanning’s 1-under 71 and White’s 2-over 74 counted for the team on Wednesday with Doyle adding a 3-over 75. On Tuesday, it was White’s 3-under 69 that led the way with both Fanning and Doyle shooting 6-over 78s.

“We’re three old guys but we used to play junior golf together 45 years ago,” added White. “Amazing, we’ve been talking about this for a long time, it’s a great feeling.”

When asked about it being the first time winning for Team Manitoba at the Canadian Men’s Senior Championship, the three collectively took a deep breath and White responded jokingly with a smile, “just needed us to do it.”

The defending champions from Team Ontario finished at a collective 9-over to finish as runner-up with Team British Columbia in third at 10-over. Team Alberta and Team Nova Scotia tied for fourth at 13-over.

There is now a three-way tie atop the leaderboard in the battle for the John Rankin Memorial Trophy. Todd Wiseman of Port Moody, B.C. and Bryan Hoops of Tempe, Ariz. both fired rounds of 3-under 69 to move up the leaderboard to sit 1-under for the championship to join White. Wiseman nabbed five birdies in his second round, while Hoops added three of his own plus an eagle on Wednesday.

While White may not have shot as low as his opening round, he was pleased with his round on Wednesday even though it’s not a place he admits he is familiar being in.

“As a guy who doesn’t hold the lead in a lot of tournaments like this it wasn’t a lot of sleep last night, but I really played great golf today and just didn’t sink the putts I did yesterday but really great golf and to be playing the last group with some very good golfers is going to be fun tomorrow,” added White.

The co-leaders will play together on Thursday, teeing off at 10 a.m. local time.

Ronnie Clark of Scotland shot a 5-over 77 on Wednesday to drop to 3-over for the tournament but still holds the lead in the Super Senior division. Clark leads 2023 Canadian Men’s Senior and Super Senior champion Doug Hanzel of Savannah, Ga. by two strokes.

The field of 154 competitors has now been reduced to the low 74 players following a cut of 12-over based off the Senior division.

The Canadian Men’s Senior Championship was established in 1962 for golfers aged 55-and-over and includes a Super Senior division for golfers 65-and-over that was introduced in 1995.

A trio of Canadian Golf Hall of Famers lead the way having won the most Canadian Men’s Senior Championships in tournament history including, Bob Wylie of Calgary, Alta. with seven (1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1993, 1995). Nick Weslock of Oakville, Ont. with six (1973, 1974, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1983) and Graham Cooke of Hudson, Que. with four (2001, 2002, 2008 and 2009).

The winner will receive exemptions into the 2027 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship, 2027 Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship, 2027 Canadian Men’s Senior Championship (plus a 10-year exemption, if eligible) and the 2027 U.S. Senior Amateur Championship.

The famous par-3 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass can intimidate even the most seasoned PGA TOUR veterans. When PGA TOUR pro A.J. Ewart arrived at the tee for the first time this past March, he admitted to feeling the nerves too.

“I could have sworn that they shrunk that green,” the 27-year-old Canadian laughed, thinking back to his debut appearance at The Players Championship. “It was a real challenge, but just to be competing amongst those guys in that environment was kind of the big ‘Welcome to the Tour’ moment.”

The marquee event in March was one of many enjoyable experiences for Ewart, who recently finished his first full regular season on the PGA TOUR. But like most instances throughout his rookie campaign when the challenges and stakes were turned up, Ewart was unfazed. He proudly points to his clean wedge shots safely landing onto the island green in each of the tournament’s opening rounds as proof.

More than the individual moments, though, the experience of playing alongside the best players in the world has changed Ewart’s perspective on his own game. In 21 starts, the native of Coquitlam, B.C., captured six top 25 finishes among his 15 cuts made. 

“Obviously very proud, but I feel like this year has made me even hungrier for more,” Ewart said.

That hunger has been one of the defining themes following his freshman year on Tour.

Competing in event after event at the highest level – also twice competing in six consecutive weeks – has exposed Ewart to a standard of golf he had previously only watched from afar and is motivated to reach. Compiling more complete four-round performances and gaining strength off the tee are areas of opportunity following his 105^th place finish in the FedEx Cup, which left him outside of the post-season. He’s since spent the past few weeks beginning to examine every part of his own game.

“Playing on the PGA TOUR has changed my golf game in so many different ways,” he said. “I’ve improved in every aspect of my game mentally and physically, but I think just playing at the highest level, competing against the best guys in the world and playing on world-class golf courses in a tough setup will benefit you in so many different ways.”

For a player making his first full run at the PGA TOUR, the learning curve can be steep but Derek Ingram, head coach of Team Canada’s Men’s team, believes Ewart’s best golf is still ahead of him.

“He looks like a PGA TOUR player, he acts like a PGA TOUR player and he’s going to be a really good one,” said Ingram. “I feel like he’s still getting better, and we have high expectations for him because we know he can achieve them.”

One event Ewart hopes to experience future success at is the one on home soil – the RBC Canadian Open.

“For me, it’s my favourite event of the year,” said Ewart, who’s teed it up three times in his National Open. “Stepping into the Rink at the RBC Canadian Open is really cool, and the crowd support from the Canadian fans is unbelievable.”

That first appearance came before Ewart was a full-time member of the PGA TOUR. Since then, he has put together strong campaigns on PGA TOUR Americas and won 2025 PGA TOUR Q-School. Now, he has a different perspective and a different level of expectation.

Ewart will be motivated this fall to improve his status for 2027, where he will compete in seven of eight Fall Series events. Getting inside the top 100 ensures his playing privileges for 2027, and a return trip to the Players Championship.

His rookie season gave him a taste of the biggest stages in golf, from the pressure of the island green at TPC Sawgrass to the atmosphere of the RBC Canadian Open. It has shown him that he can compete at the highest level — and, perhaps more importantly, shown him how much further he wants to go.

Team British Columbia leads Inter-Provincial Team Championship by one over Manitoba

WINNIPEG, Man. – David White battled the conditions to sit atop the leaderboard following the opening round of the 2026 Canadian Men’s Senior Championship, presented by BDO at Niakwa Country Club in Winnipeg, Man. on Tuesday.

Gusty winds played a key factor for the field during the opening round and intensified to greet the afternoon wave of players. White of Winnipeg, Man. was able to emerge from the field to fire a 3-under 69 to lead and is only one of two players under par following the opening round.

White began his round on the back nine where he carded four birdies to make the turn at 4-under before dropping strokes after a bogey on no. 2 followed by a double-bogey a hole later. White was able to grab a couple back following an eagle on no. 7 and close with two pars. He complimented his caddie for keeping him calm on Tuesday.

“Short game was really good, making more ups and downs than I probably should have. Conditions deteriorated on the back nine in terms of wind, so all things considered, I held it together pretty well,” said White.

With conditions expected to be similar on Wednesday, the 59-year-old will be taking a similar approach while aiming to control the ball in the wind while focusing on ball flight as well.

Close behind White is Ronnie Clark of Scotland who sits a shot back following a 2-under 70. Clark also began his round on the back nine, with two bogeys and one birdie before opening his second nine with three straight birdies to get him into red figures. Clark went on to close his round with six consecutive pars as he battled the conditions in Winnipeg. Clark holds the lead in the Super Senior division by six shots over Lars Melander of Burlington, Ont. and Ken Griffith of Red Deer, Alta.

Behind the duo in the battle for the John Rankin Memorial Trophy is Stephen Watson of Nanoose Bay, B.C. who finished with an even par 72. Watson is followed by a trio who are tied for fourth at 1-over including defending champion, Don Martone of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. Tied with Martone is Carlos Aranda of Springfield, Va. and Gregory Sato of South Pasadena, Calif.

Team British Columbia leads the Inter-Provincial Team Championship by one over Team Manitoba after shooting a combined score of 2-over on Tuesday. Team B.C. was led by Watson’s even par 72 and Andrew Pinette of Surrey, B.C., who carded a 2-over 74. Teammate Mark Henrich of Langley, B.C. finished with a 7-over 79.

White is also representing Team Manitoba along with Todd Fanning and Jay Doyle of Winnipeg, Man. who both finished with rounds of 6-over 78. The defending champions, Team Ontario sit third at 7-over.

The Canadian Men’s Senior Championship was established in 1962 for golfers aged 55-and-over and includes a Super Senior division for golfers 65-and-over that was introduced in 1995. The national championship consists of 72 holes of stroke-play with a cut to the low 70 plus ties after 36 holes. Additionally, a minimum of five Super Seniors will make the cut as well as any Super Seniors within 10 shots of the division leader. In addition, the Senior Inter-Provincial Team Championship will run concurrently through the first 36 holes of the tournament.

A trio of Canadian Golf Hall of Famers lead the way having won the most Canadian Men’s Senior Championships in tournament history including, Bob Wylie of Calgary, Alta. with seven (1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1993, 1995). Nick Weslock of Oakville, Ont. with six (1973, 1974, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1983) and Graham Cooke of Hudson, Que. with four (2001, 2002, 2008 and 2009).

The national championship features a field of 154 competitors with seven past champions among those battling in Winnipeg.

The winner will receive exemptions into the 2027 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship, 2027 Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship, 2027 Canadian Men’s Senior Championship (plus a 10-year exemption, if eligible) and the 2027 U.S. Senior Amateur Championship.

EUROPEAN TOUR

Thriston Lawrence made an 18-foot birdie putt on the fourth playoff hole to defeat Paul Casey and win the Omega European Masters. It is his sixth European Tour victory and the third time he has won this event in the last five years. The South African is the seventh player to win the tournament three times, the first since Seve Ballesteros. Lawrence erased a six-stroke deficit with a bogey-free final round 62. Casey, who started the final round with a three-shot lead, had four chances to win the tournament at the 18th green. He missed a 20-footer in regulation, a 35-footer on the first playoff hole, a 10-footer on the second extra hole, and an eight-footer on the fourth trip down the 18th fairway. The runner-up finish extended Casey’s five year winless drought. Harry Hall had four birdies and an eagle on the back nine to climb the leaderboard and finish solo third. Patrick Reed finished tied for 11th to increase his lead over Rory McIlroy in the Race to Dubai rankings to just over 437 points. McIlroy is scheduled to play in this week’s Amgen Irish Open.

Seven past champions will compete in Winnipeg including defending champion Don Martone

WINNIPEG, Man. – The 2026 Canadian Men’s Senior Championship, presented by BDO is set for September 8-11 with a field of 156 amateur golfers competing over four rounds at Niakwa Country Club in Winnipeg, Man.

The field competing for the John Rankin Memorial Trophy features seven past champions including Don Martone of Sault Ste Marie, Ont. (2025), Doug Hanzel of Savannah, Ga. (2023), Rusty Strawn of Eatonton, Ga. (2022), Darren Ritchie of St. John, N.B. (2021), two-time champion Gene Elliott of Norwalk, Iowa (2019, 2017), Brad Exber of Las Vegas, Nev. (2018) and David Schultz of Calgary Alta. (2013).

“We are proud to welcome a strong field that includes seven past champions and a number of accomplished competitors to the 2026 Canadian Men’s Senior Championship next week at Niakwa Country Club,” said Sam Brown, Tournament Director, Golf Canada. “We are grateful for the tremendous support from the staff and volunteers at Niakwa, whose efforts have helped create a challenging championship experience along with a memorable week for everyone involved.”

Niakwa Country Club is an 18-hole parkland course designed by Stanley Thompson, recently updated by Doug Carrick to remain true to this philosophy. The Niakwa Country Club was launched in the fall of 1921 by a few enthusiasts who envisioned a need in Winnipeg for a high-quality golf course, close to the city. On November 1, 1921, a final decision was made to move forward with development and to name the club “Niakwa” meaning “Winding River”. Stanley Thompson, internationally renowned Canadian golf architect, arrived in November 1922 to begin design. Thompson took full advantage of the Seine River and the ravines that ran through the property.

“On behalf of the membership and staff at Niakwa Country Club, it is our privilege to welcome you to the 2026 Canadian Senior Golf Championship. We our very proud of our historic Stanley Thompson design and know it will be an excellent test for all the competitors,” said Todd Fanning, member, Niakwa Country Club. “Enjoy not only our hospitality but also our great city that we invite you to explore during your stay in Winnipeg. Best of luck to all and may your tee shots be straight this week.”

The Canadian Men’s Senior Championship was established in 1962 for golfers aged 55-and-over and includes a Super Senior division for golfers 65-and-over that was introduced in 1995. The national championship consists of 72 holes of stroke-play with a cut to the low 70 plus ties after 36 holes. Additionally, a minimum of five Super Seniors will make the cut as well as any Super Seniors within 10 shots of the division leader. In addition, the Senior Inter-Provincial Team Championship will run concurrently through the first 36 holes of the tournament. There will be a practice round on Monday, September 7 followed by tournament play beginning on Tuesday, September 8.

Team Ontario will look to go back-to-back in the Inter-Provincial Team Championship after winning the 2025 Inter-Provincial Team Championship at KenWo Golf Club in New Minas, N.S. Martone, Ashley Chinner of Brooklin, Ont. and Mike Kray of Oakville, Ont. were victorious last year ending Alberta’s quest for five straight team titles at the Canadian Men’s Senior Championship. Team Alberta will be in search of their seventh championship in nine years.

A trio of Canadian Golf Hall of Famers lead the way having won the most Canadian Men’s Senior Championships in tournament history including, Bob Wylie of Calgary, Alta. with seven (1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1993, 1995).

CHILLIWACK, B.C. — Nick and Andie Taylor are celebrating a significant milestone in their ongoing support of First Tee – Canada.

Since making First Tee – British Columbia a charitable beneficiary of the Nick Taylor Charity Classic in 2024, the Taylors have raised $104,589 for the chapter, helping grow First Tee programming in British Columbia and communities near Nick’s hometown of Abbotsford.

“First Tee – Canada is incredibly grateful to Nick, Andie and the entire Taylor family for their commitment to creating more opportunities for youth to experience the game of golf,” said Sean Reczulski, Senior Director of Development, First Tee – Canada at Golf Canada. “Their generosity through the Nick Taylor Charity Classic is making a meaningful difference in British Columbia, helping us bring accessible and welcoming programming to more youth in the communities Nick knows and loves. Reaching more than $100,000 in giving is an incredible milestone, and we are proud to celebrate it alongside the Taylor family.”

The milestone comes as the Nick Taylor Charity Classic celebrates its 10th anniversary. Founded in 2017, the annual event brings together community leaders, businesses and sport enthusiasts in support of youth sport and education in the Fraser Valley and beyond.

The 10th annual tournament takes place Thursday, September 3 at Cultus Lake Golf Club. First Tee – British Columbia is one of five charitable beneficiaries, alongside Archway Community Services, the University of the Fraser Valley, Chilliwack Community Services and Canadian Tire Jumpstart.

The Taylors’ support of First Tee extends beyond the Charity Classic.

Nick became a First Tee – Canada ambassador in 2025, adding the program’s logo on his golf bag and helping raise awareness for its mission to make golf more accessible to youth across the country.

As an adidas ambassador, Taylor also supported First Tee programming during the 2026 RBC Canadian Open, participating in an adidas-branded First Tee clinic and connecting with youth through the game. Additionally, adidas further supported First Tee – Canada through its Birdies for Game Changers initiative, pledging $300 for every birdie or better Taylor made during the 2026 PGA TOUR season.

As a member of Team RBC, Taylor has also helped raise awareness and funds for First Tee – Canada through the RBC Community Junior Golf 72’ Putt activation at the RBC Canadian Open. Inspired by his historic 72-foot putt to win the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, the activation has given Taylor an opportunity to connect with youth and teach them how to attempt the same challenging putt.

Together, the Taylor family’s support has helped create more opportunities for youth to discover golf and develop skills that extend beyond the course.

“I’m very proud to be an ambassador for the First Tee – Canada in supporting the continued growth of grassroots golf in our country,” said Nick. “Andie and I are incredibly humbled by the generous support from so many in our community these past ten years, and we’re excited to share and celebrate this fundraising milestone with all of those supporters.”

For First Tee – British Columbia, the Taylors’ $104,589 in giving represents more than a fundraising milestone. It is an investment in the continued growth of programming in the communities where Nick grew up and where his connection to the sport began.

The 2026 Nick Taylor Charity Classic is sold out. Donations can be made through the event website, with proceeds supporting its five charitable beneficiaries.
