Former Canadian National Open Championship venues,
Wascana Country Club and TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley
to host prestigious national amateur championships

OAKVILLE, Ont. – Golf Canada is excited to announce the host venues for the 2026 Canadian Junior Boys Championship and 2026 Canadian Junior Girls Championship, both presented by BDO and running August 10 – 14, 2026.

The Canadian Junior Boys Championship will take place at Wascana Country Club in Regina, Sask. and the Canadian Junior Girls Championship will be contested at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (Heathlands course) in Caledon, Ont. The 2018 CPKC Women’s Open, won by Brooke Henderson was contested at Wascana, while the 2025 RBC Canadian Open was held at TPC Toronto on the North course.

“Golf Canada is incredibly proud to hold both of our Canadian Junior Championships at properties with such prestige and experience hosting both the CPKC Women’s Open and RBC Canadian Open,” said Mary Beth McKenna, Director, Amateur Championships and Rules, Golf Canada. “We appreciate all the work and enthusiasm from both Wascana and TPC Toronto for their continued support of our amateur championships and we are excited for both fields to compete at two of the top venues in our country next summer.”

The Wascana Country Club has a proud history dating back to 1911. Founded by a small group of Regina residents, Wascana was envisioned as more than a golf course, it was created as a true country club, a place for recreation, relaxation, and connection just beyond the growing city.

Today, the lush par-72 Wetlands Course stretches over 6,900 yards from the Championship tees, spanning 170 acres of natural beauty. Designed to both challenge and inspire, the course offers multiple tee options, ensuring an enjoyable experience for golfers of all skill levels.

“Wascana Country Club is honoured to host the 2026 Canadian Junior Boys Championship, one of Golf Canada’s premier national events and a proud milestone for our club. This championship is a chance to showcase our championship-calibre course, vibrant membership, and commitment to developing Canada’s next generation of golf talent,” said Craig Prentice, General Manager, Wascana Country Club. “We look forward to welcoming players and families to Regina for a true prairie experience, and to delivering a first-class event through the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and entire Wascana community.”

Inspired by Ireland’s Portmarnock Golf Club, the Heathlands course’s fescue-covered dunes, pot bunkers and severely sloped greens pay homage to classic golf design with one of the truest tests in Ontario. 

Opened in 1992, the Heathlands course harkens back to golf’s beginnings and the dune-swept hills of traditional Irish links. Once the carefully guarded secret of local aficionados, the course has become a favourite of those seeking a traditional golf experience and a stirring challenge that pays homage to the simple-yet-brilliant creativity of classic golf design. Heathlands is ranked in the top 25 for public golf courses in Canada and has been the long-time host venue of the Osprey Valley Open, a PGA TOUR Americas event.

“We are incredibly proud to welcome these outstanding young golfers to TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley for the 2026 Canadian Junior Girls Championship. Hosting this prestigious event on our Heathlands course is a tremendous honour, and we look forward to showcasing not only our championship venue but also the warm hospitality of our community. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the global growth of the game and inspire the next generation of players,” said Chris Humeniuk, President, TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley.

The Canadian Junior Boys Championship was established in 1938 and has seen those who claimed the Silver Cup go on to serve memorable careers in the game of golf, including Canadian Golf Hall of Famers Doug Silverberg (1950), George Knudson (1955), Gary Cowan (1956) and Doug Roxburgh (1970), as well as current PGA TOUR stars Nick Taylor and Adam Svensson who each won the tournament in 2006 and 2012 respectively. The Juvenile division has featured in the tournament since 1970, with the winner receiving the Jack Bailey Trophy. Only 12 players have claimed both the Juvenile and Junior championship in the same year, with Dawson Lew of Toronto, Ont. the most recent to accomplish the feat last month.

The Canadian Junior Girls 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. The Canadian Junior Girls Championship has a long list of distinguished past champions that have etched their name on the Brokenshire Trophy. Past champions include Canadian Golf Hall of Famers Sandra Post (1964-66), Betty Stanhope (1956), Judy Darling (1957), Gail Harvey Moore (1958-1960) and Gayle Borthwick (1961). In addition, LPGA Tour players, Alena Sharp (1999), Brooke Henderson (2012) and Maddie Szeryk (2013). Stollery Family Team Canada Women’s Head Coach Salimah Mussani (1996) is also a past Canadian Junior Champion. Last month, Shauna Liu of Maple, Ont. successfully defended her title to become the ninth multi-time winner of the national championship and the first back-to-back winner since Heather Kuzmich in 1982.

The full 2026 Canadian Amateur Championship schedule will be announced in the new year.

Liu becomes the ninth multi-time winner of the Brokenshire Trophy and first back-to-back winner since Heather Kuzmich in 1982

SAINTE-MARIE, Que. – Shauna Liu came from behind to win her second consecutive Canadian Junior Girls Championship, presented by BDO on Saturday and tied a couple records along the way at Club de golf Sainte Marie in Sainte-Marie, Que.

Liu of Maple, Ont. tied a women’s course record, previously set by 54-hole leader Ruihan Kendria Wang on Wednesday and tied a personal best, as well as the lowest round in tournament history with an 8-under 64, to finish at 10-under and win by four shots. Liu posted rounds of 70-70-74-64=278 to win her fifth title of the year.

“It means so much being able to defend my title. I know it’s not something that happens very often and definitely gives me more confidence,” said Liu after receiving the Brokenshire Trophy for a second consecutive year.

“Playing alongside my teammates and friends the past few days it’s been so fun and on this beautiful course, it’s just been a really good week.”

The Team Canada NextGen teammates battled neck and neck on Saturday making for a thrilling final round in Sainte-Marie. Wang of Vancouver, B.C. opened the day with a one-shot lead on Liu and three on fellow teammate Clairey Lin of Langley, B.C.

Wang pulled further ahead with a birdie on No. 4. Her lead increased again after Liu bogeyed the fifth, giving Wang a three-shot lead. Liu told herself to keep playing her own game.

“I missed a couple putts on the first few holes, and I think I was trying to focus too much on the score so I told myself focus on your own game and play the best you can.”

Liu responded with three birdies on her final four holes of the front nine to pull back to within a shot of Wang, who also recorded birdie on nine.

Liu said she felt the turning point in her round came at the eighth hole where she faced a lengthy look at birdie.

“I sunk a 24-footer there and it was the first putt I actually made,” Liu said with a laugh. “After that putt, on nine, I had a 15-footer, and I was able to sink that too so that gave me a little more confidence that I really needed.”

The battle continued as both players carded birdies on the par-3 11th, before Wang’s bogey on No. 12 evened things with both players sitting at 5-under with six holes to play.

On No, 13 Liu hit her approach shot within 10-feet of the cup but faced a big downhill break for a birdie.

“On that hole, I was mostly trying to get my speed for my putting. I realized throughout this week and on this round a lot of the times I was missing was because of my distance control. So, I was focusing on that and luckily it went in.”

The birdie put Liu ahead and she did not look back, grabbing another on No. 15 to take a two-shot lead. Liu knew that “Wang had an advantage heading to No. 17 and 18 with her length from the tee” so she had to keep pushing forward.

On No. 17 Liu was able to chip close and make the putt for another birdie and opened a three-shot lead with one to play. On 18, Liu slammed the door shut sinking a 21-footer for eagle and the win.

Wang carded a birdie on 18 to post a 3-under 69 and finish as runner-up at 6-under. Lin shot a 1-under 71 to finish third at 1-under for the tournament, marking another impressive finish at the national championship as Lin finished runner-up to Liu in 2024 at Marine Drive Golf Club in Vancouver. Maggie Zhang of Richmond, B.C. finished in fourth at 1-over and Ann-Sophie Bourgault of Gatineau, Que. finished fifth at 3-over.

Liu also claimed the Florence Harvey Trophy (Juvenile division title) for the second consecutive year, with the leaderboard mirroring the Junior division, minus Bourgault who was over the age of eligibility for the Juvenile division.

In addition to winning the national championship, Liu will receive an exemption into the 2026 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship and the 2026 Canadian Junior Girls Championship and 2026 U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship, if eligible.

Liu becomes the ninth multi-time winner of the Canadian Junior Girls Championship, the fifth two-time winner and the first player to win back-to-back titles since Heather Kuzmich won four in a row from 1981 to 1984. Past multi-time winners also include Canadian Golf Hall of Famers and three-time winners, Sandra Post (1964 – 66) and Gail Harvey Moore (1958-60). Stacey West also won three times (1974, 1976 and 1977). Liu also joins Stollery Family Team Canada Women’s Head Coach Salimah Mussani (1996, 1998) as a two-time champion.

Liu will also be competing in the CPKC Women’s Open next week in Mississauga, Ont. having earned an exemption by winning The Peloton Glencoe Invitational as part of the She Plays Golf Championship Series in Calgary, Alta. in June. The 16-year-old will be making her first LPGA Tour start in Mississauga.

“It’s such an honour to play along side the best in the world, I’m really excited and looking forward to a great week,” said Liu.

On Thursday, Team B.C. won its second consecutive Mary Pyke Trophy, finishing a collective 9-over, four shots ahead of Team Ontario in the Inter-Provincial Team Championship. Team B.C. was represented by Cadence Ko of Richmond, B.C., Emma Kral of Victoria, B.C., and Zhehui Yu of Burnaby, B.C.

Ko led Team B.C. over the two days posting scores of 75-72. Kral’s round of 75 counted on Wednesday, while Yu’s identical score of 75 counted on Thursday making it a total team effort.

Team Ontario, winners in 2022 and 2023, finished as runner-up at 13-over. Team Alberta finished third at 19-over, while Manitoba and Quebec rounded out the top five in the team competition.

The Canadian Junior Girls 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.

Team Canada NextGen teammates battle on Friday with
defending champion Shauna Liu now one back of the lead

SAINTE-MARIE, Que. –Ruihan Kendria Wang and Shauna Liu each held the individual lead following the opening rounds of the 2025 Canadian Junior Girls Championship, presented by BDO. It seemed as if the duo would enter Saturday as co-leaders, but a birdie on No. 18 put Wang ahead by one heading into the final round at Club de golf Sainte Marie in Sainte-Marie, Que.

The Team Canada NextGen teammates were tied through most of the day at 2-under, until Wang pulled ahead by birding the par-5 closing hole to take a one-shot advantage over the defending champion. Wang of Vancouver, B.C. finished the day with an even par 72, while Liu of Maple, Ont. finished with a 2-over 74. Right behind them is fellow Team Canada NextGen teammate, Clairey Lin of Langley, B.C. who sits even par for the tournament following a 72 on Friday. The trio will be playing together again on Saturday.

“I love playing with them. I love them, they’re so great,” said Wang of her teammates. “I was more focused on my own score and how to get myself lower, but hopefully they drop a little more tomorrow, maybe give myself shorter birdie putts, but I am excited and looking forward to it.”

Liu echoed Wang’s view of being grouped together again alongside her teammates.

“It’s awesome and an honour to be playing with your teammates. We’re such good friends and so close. Even though I’m playing against her, I still want the best for her. It’s really fun and still really competitive but playing with your friends, you’re able to be more relaxed in a way and I am excited for tomorrow.”

Liu began the day with a one-shot lead on Wang and both players traded opening birdies on Friday. Wang dropped a shot on No. 3 before responding with a birdie the very next hole. After Liu double bogeyed the fifth hole, Wang took a two-shot lead but ended up tied with Liu heading into nine following consecutive bogeys on Nos. 7 and 8. Wang would respond yet again, carding a birdie on nine to re-take the lead by one as Liu closed the front nine with four straight pars.

Liu’s run of consecutive pars extended to 11 holes in total on Friday as both players opened their back nine with seven straight pars. On the par-4 17th both Wang and Liu recorded bogey remaining tied until Wang took the lead on 18 to close play.

“Bogey on 17 was really disappointing. I only had 55 yards in, and it was not a great shot from there but I’m really glad I hit a good drive, then got just short of the green to get up and down for birdie on 18,” said the 54-hole leader Wang.

Lin remains in solo third after and up-and-down round with four birdies and four bogeys on Friday. Ann-Sophie Bourgault of Gatineau, Que. is alone in fourth at 2-over while Team Canada NextGen member, Nobelle Park of Oakville, Ont. and Maggie Zhang of Richmond, B.C. are tied for fifth at 4-over.

Saturday’s final round will begin at 8 a.m. local time with the final group of Wang, Liu and Lin teeing off at 10:01 a.m.

Following a run of birdies to start, Wang followed up with two more on the front and added three on the back nine and credited her driving and her putting for helping her achieve her own personal best round.

“I find when those (driver and putter) are good my round ends up pretty well and honestly the weather was perfect, there was very little wind,” added Wang.

The weather unfortunately took a turn during the afternoon, as winds grew heavy and rain began to fall forcing an hour-long stoppage in play shortly before 2:30 p.m. local time.

Vancouver, B.C. – Team Canada NextGen member Shauna Liu of Maple, Ont., played a competitive and exceptional final round to win the 69th playing of the Canadian Junior Girls Championship, presented by BDO at Marine Drive Golf Club in Vancouver, B.C. on Thursday. 

After heading into the third round tied for the lead with three others, Liu carded a final round of 1-under 71 on Thursday, to finish at 2-under for the tournament, three shots better than Clairey Lin (Palos Verdes Estates, Calif.) who finished at 1-over for the tournament.  

During the final round, Liu played very consistent golf. After a bogey to start her opening nine, Liu bounced back by making a birdie on the par 5 second hole. She then played an impressive bogey free back nine rolling in two back-to-back birdies on the way to her third round under par of the week. The 15-year-old fired rounds of 70-71-74-71 to secure the national title. 

“It feels great, winning this tournament is something I have always wanted and it’s really great to be here,” said Liu. “My family and I will probably go out and get some ice cream after this one.” 

Liu also won the Juvenile division, which ran concurrently for girls aged 16 and under, ahead of Lin. The bronze medal was awarded to Ruihan Kendria Wang (Bellevue, Wash.) who finished at 3-over.  

In the Junior division the bronze medal was shared by three players, Kartusch, Wang and Vanessa Zhang (Vancouver, B.C.) at 3-over. 

“I am playing the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship also next week in B.C. so for next week, the course and conditions are going to be playing different, but we are still going to be trying to hit the fairways and greens and make some putts,” said Liu. 

Along with the national title, Liu’s win comes with an exemption into the 2024 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship taking place next week at the Royal Colwood Golf Club in Victoria, B.C., Liu will also receive an exemption into the 2025 U.S Girls Junior Championship and will be awarded a cheque for $1,200 CAD.

On Tuesday, the host province, Team British Columbia, consisting of Ha Young Chang (Surrey, B.C.), Amy Seung Hyun Lee (Langley, B.C.) and Chelsea Truong (Victoria, B.C.) took home the Inter-Provincial Team Championship.

Defending champion Eileen Park grabs share of the lead following a 5-under 67 on Wednesday 

Vancouver, B.C. – The leaderboard experienced numerous shifts, as the top players traded positions in a battle for the lead at the third round of the 2024 Canadian Junior Girls Championship, presented by BDO, at Marine Drive Golf Club in Vancouver, B.C. on Wednesday. 

Eileen Park of Red Deer, Alta., Addison Kartusch of Winnipeg, Man., Shauna Liu of Maple, Ont., and Swetha Sathish of Oakville, Ont., all sit atop of the leaderboard tied at 1-under heading into tomorrow’s final round. 

Team Canada NextGen member Park, who is the defending champion, played an impressive bogey free opening nine carding three birdies on the front. She also carded three birdies on the back nine, shooting her lowest round of the tournament with a 5-under 67 on Wednesday.  

“Everything in my game went really well, it was really easy for me to hit the ball today and I don’t think there was anything hard in my game today, maybe making more putts,” said Park. “Tomorrow I will try not to get too excited, just be calm like last year and just play my game the right way.” 

Fellow Team Canada NextGen member, Sathish also made a few birdies on the day. After two birdies to start her opening nine on holes two and four, Sathish made a pair of bogeys but bounced back down the stretch closing out with two birdies on the back nine.  

Kartusch of Winnipeg, Man. carried on her momentum with another strong showing in round three. Kartusch who was tied for fourth place after yesterday’s second round, made a major comeback – rolling in four birdies on the way to a 2-under 70.  

Team Canada NextGen member Liu who carried the lead through the second round now finds herself in a four-way tie for the lead, following a 2-over 74 on Wednesday.  

“I think the best part of my game today was my tee shot with my driver and hitting a lot of fairways,” said Liu. “For tomorrow, I am just going to focus on hitting the fairways and greens and then hopefully will make some putts.” 

Going into the final round there is a three-way tie for fourth place, Ruihan Kendria Wang (Bellevue, Wash.), Ha Young Chang (Surrey, B.C.), and Clairey Lin (Palos Verdes Estates, Calif.) are all three shots back of the leaders sitting at 2-over.

Shauna Liu leads both the junior and juvenile divisions at the  
Canadian Junior Girls Championship 

Vancouver, B.C. – Humid and sunny conditions continued into round two of the 2024 Canadian Junior Girls Championship, presented by BDO making for another exciting day. With a stellar performance, Team British Columbia secured the coveted title of this year’s Inter-Provincial Team Championship at Marine Drive Golf Club in Vancouver, B.C. 

Team British Columbia were represented by Ha Young Chang (Surrey, B.C.), Amy Seung Hyun Lee (Langley, B.C.) and Chelsea Truong (Victoria B.C).  

Chang contributed to the teams winning efforts carding rounds of 4-under 68 on Monday and 77 on Tuesday, while Lee shot 76 on Monday and 73 on Tuesday and Truong’s 4-over76 on Monday and 72 on Tuesday. The team combined for a total score of 1-over, eight shots clear of runners-up, Team Manitoba.  

“It’s great to win here at home. We’re going for the sweep of these Inter-Provincial team championships on the west coast swing of national championships and that makes two out of three. This part of the championship is great for bringing the girls together and is obviously a very prestigious honour,” said Deb Pyne, BC Golf Managing Director of Player Development. 

For the individual component of the competition, Team Canada NextGen member, Shauna Liu of Maple, Ont. played an impressive round carding three birdies on the front nine and kicked off the back nine with a pair of birdies on the first two holes.  Liu went into the second round two strokes behind Chang at 2-under and fired a 1-under 71 on Tuesday to take a two shot lead heading into the third round. 

“Today, I think for this course especially, it’s important to hit the fairways and to be in a good position on the greens, so I was really focusing on that today,” said Liu. “Having some birdies in my first few holes helped me gain some confidence going further into the round.” 

Going into the third round, fellow Team Canada NextGen member, Swetha Sathish of Oakville Ont., is second place heading into tomorrow’s third round. Sathish remains only two strokes back of Liu following a 2-under 70 on Tuesday..  

Clara Ding (White Rock, B.C.), who shot two back-to-back rounds of 72 sits in third place at even par. 

Two players are tied for fourth at 1-over; first rounder leader, Ha Young Chang (Surrey, B.C.) and Addison Kartusch (Winnipeg, Man.).
