Kyrinis tops Nonie Marler in three-hole playoff to win Mid-Amateur and Mid-Master titles; Team British Columbia retains Inter-Provincial Team title in Lachute

LACHUTE, Que. – Judith Kyrinis is a national champion once again, following a three-hole playoff win over Nonie Marler at the 2025 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, presented by BDO at Lachute (Club de golf) in Lachute, Que. on Friday.

Kyrinis, of Thornhill, Ont. tapped in her par putt on the third playoff hole to win the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship for the fourth time. Her previous wins came in 2016, 2019 and 2023. She sits second all-time, just behind Christina Spence Proteau who has six.

“It’s wonderful, you don’t really expect to do some of this stuff but I’m just very thankful for the opportunity and for the people that helped me get here and all the work that Liz and Mark Hoffman do for me and to help me achieve these goals and my family too,” said Kyrinis following the awards ceremony on 18.

Kyrinis opened the day one shot back of Marler, who held the 36-hole lead. The pair found themselves tied after two holes following a bogey from Marler. The co-lead was short lived however as Marler quickly answered with a birdie on the third to regain her lead by one. The biggest swing of the day came at the par-3 5th hole, where Kyrinis carded her lone birdie on the day to drop to even par, while a double bogey from Marler put Kyrinis ahead by two.

Kyrinis said there was “lots of golf left and many opportunities for the longer hitters to take advantage,” so she remained patient.

“I was hitting the ball really well and neither one of us were getting many putts to drop but getting really good looks at it, so I said just stay patient,” she said.

Marler responded with birdie at No. 6 to pull within a stroke of the lead and it would remain that way as both women went on to card five consecutive pars through 11 holes. Marler dropped her third birdie on the day at No. 12 to pull even with Kyrinis. Following consecutive pars, Kyrinis regained her one stroke advantage on No. 15 following a bogey from Marler. That lead was also short lived as Kyrinis dropped a stroke on the very next hole, putting both players at even par with two to play.

The final two holes solved nothing, and a playoff was required. The duo teed off on No. 18 to begin the playoff and both recorded bogey after Marler missed her chance at par. Kyrinis would just miss a birdie opportunity on the second playoff hole (Hole No. 1) to make par and force a return to No. 18 for the third playoff hole.

There Marler would hit her drive out of bounds, having to return to the tee. Kyrinis had a look at birdie from the fringe and left herself with a short par putt, which she sunk to seal the win and her fourth Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur title.

“I just wanted to make par, knowing with Nonie unfortunately going O.B. it gave me a little bit of room, but you never know,” she said.

“I knew I had to get my ball into the hole because she could have got it up and down and I could have three-putted. I mean I hit one less going into that green and I still kind of went long. Funny what adrenaline will do for you.

“It feels great, bit of a relief though to finally get it done,” added Kyrinis with a laugh.

Past champions, Marie-Thérèse Torti and Mary Ann Hayward greeted Kyrinis on 18, spraying her with champagne to celebrate their friend’s victory.

Kyrinis finished the tournament at 1-over following rounds of 77-70-73=220. In addition to winning the Mid-Amateur title, Kyrinis also won the Mid-Master title for a record, fourth time.

Kelsey Fuchs of King City, Ont. who held a piece of lead following the opening round fired a 2-under 71 on Friday to finish 3-over and tied for third with Haley Yerxa of Ottawa, Ont. Jordan Matheson of Burnaby, B.C. finished 4-over to round out the top five in the Mid-Amateur division. In the Mid-Master division, Connor Macon of Charlotte, N.C., Suzanne Ricard of Montreal, Que. and Charmaine Hayden of Winnipeg, Man. finished in a three-way tie for third at 9-over.

On Thursday, Team British Columbia (B.C.) retained the Margaret Todd Trophy, winning the Inter-Provincial Team Championship, finishing with a total combined score of 5-over, beating Team Ontario by eight shots. Team B.C. was represented by Nonie Marler of Vancouver, B.C., Aram Choi of Surrey, B.C. and Veronica Ivy of Victoria, B.C. Marler shot a 1-under 72, while Ivy shot a 3-over 76 and Choi a 6-over 79 on Thursday. On Wednesday, Marler shot 74, Choi shot 75 and Ivy shot 79. Team Manitoba and Team Quebec tied for third at 19-over. The two lowest scores counted towards the daily team total for the inter-provincial title.

The field of 57 female amateur talents (aged 25-and-over as of August 6, 2025), with a handicap index of 12.0 or less began play on Wednesday. In addition to winning the national championship, Kyrinis will receive exemptions into the 2025 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship at Monterey Peninsula Country Club (Dunes Course) in Pebble Beach, Calif. October 4-9, as well as the 2026 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship at The Toronto Golf Club in Mississauga, Ont. from July 20 – 24 and the 2026 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, at Burlington Golf & Country Club, in Burlington, Ont. from August 4 – 7.

Nonie Marler holds one shot lead over Judith Kyrinis in Mid-Amateur and Mid-Master divisions into Friday

LACHUTE, Que. – Team British Columbia has retained the Margaret Todd Trophy, winning the Inter-Provincial Team Championship on Thursday at the 2025 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, presented by BDO at Lachute (Club de golf) in Lachute, Que.

Team British Columbia (B.C.) finished with a total combined score of 5-over, beating Team Ontario by eight shots. Team B.C. was represented by Nonie Marler of Vancouver, B.C., Aram Choi of Surrey, B.C. and Veronica Ivy of Victoria, B.C. Marler shot a 1-under 72, while Ivy shot a 3-over 76 and Choi a 6-over 79 on Thursday. On Wednesday, Marler shot 74, Choi shot 75 and Ivy shot 79. Team Manitoba and Team Quebec tied for third at 19-over. The two lowest scores counted towards the daily team total for the inter-provincial title.

“Always proud to represent the province and we put some good scores up there the last couple days and we all hope to do it again tomorrow too and finish the tournament strong individually as well as collectively. It’s special to be able to represent the province and to go and come out on top,” said Marler, who won her second inter-provincial title with Team B.C. at the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship.

Marler credited her ability to hit the majority of fairways and greens helping her to sit as co-leader, while she struggled to see the lines on greens after the opening round. When asked if that improved on Thursday, Marler replied “marginally” with a laugh.

“There were a lot of things out there that I thought would break more than they did and they didn’t and conversely the opposite as well. I think it’s more a pace thing than a line thing now, what I am figuring out for my own game, but game plan is going to stay the same for the final round and just stay patient and hopefully get a few more to drop tomorrow,” she added.

Marler added that taking things one shot at a time and being particular with yardages was a continued approach on Thursday.

The battle for both the Mid-Amateur and Mid-Master division championships is shaping up to be an exciting one on Friday as Marler takes a one-shot lead over three-time Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur champion, Judith Kyrinis of Thornhill, Ont. The two will be playing together in the final group tomorrow.

“I love Judith, we’ve played a bunch of tournaments together and she caddied for me at the U.S. Mid-Am back in 2021 when we were both down there together. She’s a great friend and playing competitor and I respect her game immensely and I’m really looking forward to playing with her tomorrow, we have a lot of fun playing together,” said Marler.

Kyrinis fired the low round of the day with a bogey free, 3-under 70 on Thursday. Kyrinis said her goal for today was to get back in it and stay close to the leaders. She credited a couple aspects of her game that allowed her to bounce back on Thursday.

“I would say my irons were pretty good today and my pace on the greens was pretty good, I wasn’t struggling too hard on any of the comeback putts.”

Kyrinis added that fairways are indeed tough to hit in Lachute, but she won’t change her approach heading into Friday.

“Same thing that I always try to work on and that’s keep it simple. Fairways and greens. Par is your friend out here and just play my game. These girls can hit it down there pretty good, and I just have to know where my game is and play to my strengths,” she said.

In the Mid-Amateur division, Haley Yerxa of Ottawa, Ont. fired a 1-under 72 to move up into third at 4-over for the tournament. Yerxa, Marler and Kyrinis were the only players in the field that were able to shoot under par on Thursday. Jordan Matheson of Burnaby, B.C. and Kelsey Fuchs on King City, Ont. are tied for fourth at 5-over for the championship.

In the Mid-Master division, Tina Papatolis of Issaquah, Wash. and Suzanne Ricard of Montreal, Que. are tied for third at 7-over and Charmaine Hayden of Winnipeg, Man. is fifth at 8-over.

The field of 57 female amateur talents (aged 25-and-over as of August 6, 2025), with a handicap index of 12.0 or less began play on Wednesday. The winner of the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship will receive exemptions into the 2025 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship at Monterey Peninsula Country Club (Dunes Course) in Pebble Beach, Calif. October 4-9, as well as the 2026 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, at Burlington Golf & Country Club, in Burlington, Ont. from August 4 – 7, 2026.

Team British Columbia carries five shot lead into Thursday, looking to retain Margaret Todd Trophy; Marler leads Mid-Master division

LACHUTE, Que. – Nonie Marler and Kelsey Fuchs are tied for the lead after carding rounds of 1-over 74 on Wednesday at the 2025 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, presented by BDO at Lachute (Club de golf) in Lachute, Que.

Marler of Vancouver, B.C. credited hitting almost every fairway and green during her opening round although she felt she couldn’t see the lines well despite having several attempts at birdie.

Marler was able to grab one on No. 4 before bogeying one hole later to eventually finish her front nine at even par. Another birdie on No. 13 was erased after a double bogey on 14 following a three-putt. Marler rebounded strongly to finish with four consecutive pars to grab a piece of the lead.

“I just tried to keep it to a shot at a time,” said Marler after her opening round. “I just tried to keep it really simple and focus on what was ahead of me and not try to get ahead of myself score wise because you can let it get away from you super quick out there.”

Marler plans to approach Thursday, exactly as she did today knowing there is a lot of golf left to play, “it’s anybody’s tournament, there are a lot of really good golfers that are within a couple shots of the lead.”

Marler has consistently found her name amongst the top of the leaderboard in the previous four years at the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship. She finished runner-up after losing in a playoff to Christina Proteau of Port Alberni, B.C. in 2021 and has since earned three consecutive top 10 finishes in the national championship.

“I love this event, I think it’s amazing that Golf Canada is really supportive of mid-amateur female golfers and I want to continue to support this,” she said.

“I train and prepare for much of the summer to play in this and the U.S. Mid-Am qualifying, and I know a lot of the players and it’s just nice to come and be able to compete and see my friends every year and hopefully have some fun along the way and do well while doing it,” she added.

In addition to co-leading the Mid-Amateur division, Marler leads the Mid-Master division by three shots over a trio of golfers including three-time Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur champion, Judith Kyrinis of Thornhill, Ont., Suzanne Ricard of Montreal, Que., and Connor Macon of Charlotte, N.C. at 4-over.

Fuchs of King City, Ont. also carded two birdies on Wednesday and closed her round with a string of five consecutive pars to join Marler atop the leaderboard. Fuchs has enjoyed a successful summer having recently won the Ontario Women’s Mid-Amateur title in June.

Trailing the duo are Aram Choi of Surrey, B.C. who is alone in third at 2-over, Jordan Matheson of Burnaby, B.C. sits fourth at 3-over, while four golfers are tied for fifth at 4-over.

Team British Columbia (B.C.) opened its title defence of the Margaret Todd Trophy by taking a five shot lead into Thursday’s final round of the team championship. Team B.C. sits atop the lead with a collective score of 3-over. Team B.C. is represented by Marler, along with Choi who shot a 2-over 75 and Veronica Ivy of Victoria, B.C. who shot a 6-over 79. Team Quebec and Team Ontario are tied for second at 8-over heading into Thursday. The two lowest scores count towards the daily team total.

The field of 57 female amateur talents (aged 25-and-over as of August 6, 2025), with a handicap index of 12.0 or less began play on Wednesday. The winner of the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship will receive exemptions into the 2025 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship at Monterey Peninsula Country Club (Dunes Course) in Pebble Beach, Calif. October 4-9, as well as the 2026 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, at Burlington Golf & Country Club, in Burlington, Ont. from August 4 – 7, 2026.

British Columbia looks to defend 2024 Inter-Provincial title through opening 36 holes of competition 

LACHUTE, Que. – The 2025 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, presented by BDO, is set to get underway Wednesday, August 6 at Lachute (Club de golf) in Lachute, Que.  

58 of the best female amateur talents above the age of 25 will tee off in their respective divisions on Wednesday, with the mid-amateur (players aged 25-and-over as of August 6) and mid-master (players aged 40-and-over as of August 6) competitions both running concurrently through the completion of 54 holes.  

A trio of previous winners headline the field competing in Lachute, Que. including 2010 champion and Quebec Golf Hall of Famer Marie-Thérèse Torti of Candiac, Que. who will be playing the event in her home province for the first time in four years.  

Torti will be joined by Canadian Golf Hall of Famer and 2008 champion Mary Ann Hayward of St. Thomas, Ont., as well as three-time champion Judith Kyrinis of Thornhill, Ont. Kyrinis joins the field after missing last year’s event to compete overseas at the R&A’s Women’s Senior Amateur Championship, and has since claimed a record seventh Ontario Senior Women’s Championship title to add to her impressive list of accomplishments in the game of golf. 

Shelly Stouffer of Nanoose Bay, B.C. claimed her third title in four years at the 2024 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship in Crown Isle Resort and Golf Community (Crown Isle) in Courtenay, B.C. The 54-year-old edged out 39-year-old Catherine Matranga of Fort Worth, Texas by a pair of strokes to move within three wins of the national championship record (six) set by Christina Proteau of Port Alberni, B.C. 

Though Stouffer will not be competing in 2025, her win last year helped Team British Columbia claim the Margaret Todd Trophy (awarded annually to the province with the lowest score after 36 holes. Team B.C. bested Team Alberta by 10 strokes to soundly take the 36-hole event in their home province last year.  

“We are thrilled to be in Quebec this week for the 18th playing of the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship,” commented Golf Canada Tournament Director Madeline MacMillan. “This is the third year in which the tournament will be held independently from other national championships on our calendar, and we are looking forward to an exceptional week of golf on a historic course alongside supportive staff and volunteers at Lachute (Club de golf).”  

With over a century’s worth of history and a pair of championship-caliber golf courses nestled in its 500-acre property, Lachute (Club de golf) stands definitively as a premier golf facility in the nation. Founded in 1923, the course’s original 18-hole design was crafted and completed through the work of renowned Canadian architect Stanley Thompson in 1949. A dozen years later and with inspiration from Thompson, Lachute native Howard Watson designed the property’s second course, stretching over 7,000 yards and providing another stout test for golfers of all levels. Watson was inducted to the Quebec Golf Hall of Fame as a builder in 2021.  

“The Lachute Golf Club, it’s members and the entire community is very eager to host the 2025 Women’s Canadian Mid-Amateur Championship,” said Benjamin Painchaud, General Manager of the course. “In 2024, Golf Quebec made it an absolute priority to promote and develop women’s golf. The Lachute Golf Club has followed suit in 2025 by donating funds to this cause, hosting women’s junior events and the Canadian Mid-Amateur Championship. The entire community here in Lachute is looking forward to meeting the athletes and ensuring a quality Championship experience,” he added.  

Lachute (Club de golf) has hosted numerous major golf tournaments throughout its history, including the 1977 Peter Jackson Classic (now known as the CPKC Women’s Open) won by World Golf Hall of Famer Judy Rankin of St. Louis, Mo. In addition to the LPGA TOUR great, the course’s greens have also been graced by the presence of other legends in the game, including Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino and Nick Price among the many to tee off at one of Quebec’s finest golf locations.  

Female golfers (aged 25-and-over as of August 6, 2025), with a handicap index of 12.0 or less are eligible to compete in the Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship in Lachute, Que.

Stouffer completes clean sweep winning Mid-Amateur, Mid-Master and Inter-Provincial Team titles at Crown Isle Resort and Golf Community

Courtenay, B.C. – It was quite the battle during Saturday’s final round between Shelly Stouffer and Catherine Matranga, but in the end, Stouffer pulled ahead to win the 2024 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur, presented by BDO at the Crown Isle Resort and Golf Community (Crown Isle) in Courtenay, B.C.

Stouffer and Matranga were tied at 2-over heading to the 17th at Crown Isle, and that is where Stouffer grabbed the lead with a birdie to move ahead of Matranga, who pared. On 18, Stouffer secured the victory in convincing fashion with another birdie to finish the tournament at even par, two shots clear of Matranga of Fort Worth, Texas.

“Yeah, it’s amazing, really happy about it,” said Stouffer with a smile. “I was just keeping track of it, thinking she’ll make that and then she did and now it’s a two-shot game and I had to make some long putts too, some long par saves that I made which was good. I just go through my routine and do the same thing and you lean on your routine and hope that gets you through it and was able to make a birdie-birdie finish,” said Stouffer following her round on Saturday.

“17 is a double fairway where you can go right or left and in the middle is a bunker and group of trees so I am trying to go right and I hit a terrible tee shot that went left and went over the bunker and bounced into the fairway leaving me 85 yards to the hole, I hit that shot pin high to 12 feet and left of the hole and made birdie,” said Stouffer.

On 18, Stouffer hit her drive right down the middle of the fairway, leaving herself 93 yards to the pin. She put her second shot to within five feet of the hole to close with a birdie and the national championship.

This marks the second Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur title for Stouffer of Nanoose Bay, B.C. who was triumphant in 2022 in Manitoba, prior to the Women’s Mid-Amateur becoming a standalone event last year.

Stouffer finished with rounds of 75-68-73-216 and also claimed the Mid-Master title by nine shots over Taya Battistella of Bellingham, Wash. She was also part of Team British Columbia, who earned the Margaret Todd Trophy as Inter-Provincial Team champions on Friday. Team British Columbia finished with a combined score of 8-over, to beat Alberta by ten shots. In addition to Stouffer, the host province was represented by Jamie Oleksiew of Vancouver, B.C. and Aram Choi of Surrey, B.C.

Stouffer enjoyed the week at Crown Isle, “it was awesome, the course was great and before this year I hadn’t played it in probably 25 years but I knew the tournament was here so I came up and played five times beforehand, so I got to see the golf course a number of times which was great.”

With her victory, Stouffer has earned exemptions into the 2024 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur, taking place from September 7-12 at Brae Burn Country Club in West Newton, Mass., as well as an exemption into the 2025 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship.

In addition to winning all three trophies at Crown Isle, Stouffer has also won the B.C. Women’s Mid-Master Championship and the B.C. Women’s Senior Championship this season. Saturday was extra special as her son, Brett caddied the final nine holes for her. Following the trophy presentation, Stouffer reflected on her season to date.

“It’s going well so far,” she said with a laugh. “I am liking the way the direction is going. My son is playing golf too and it’s been hard to organize because he was over at Ledgeview this week playing in the B.C. Amateur so that’s why he was here for the last nine holes and finished caddying for me. It’s been a good ride so far and I’m just going to try to keep going.”

Shelly Stouffer leads both the Mid-Amateur and Mid-Master
divisions following play on Friday

Courtenay, B.C. – The Margaret Todd Trophy won’t have to travel far, as the host province, Team British Columbia have claimed the team championship beating out Team Alberta at the 2024 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur, presented by BDO at the Crown Isle Resort and Golf Community (Crown Isle) in Courtenay, B.C.

Team British Columbia finished with a combined score of 8-over, to beat Alberta by ten shots in the 36-hole event. The host province was represented by Shelly Stouffer of Nanoose Bay, B.C., Jamie Oleksiew of Vancouver, B.C. and Aram Choi of Surrey, B.C.

On Friday, Stouffer led the charge firing a 4-under 68, while Oleksiew recorded a 7-over 79 to have their scores count toward the team total. The two lowest scores from the three team members are recorded towards the team’s combined score for the day.

“It’s nice to finish on top, it doesn’t feel good to come in second and we came in second both at the Mid-Am and the Senior last year, so I am pretty happy to get back to winning and with a different team. It’s always fun to win the gold for sure,” said Stouffer on her team’s win on Friday.

Along with firing the low round of the day, Stouffer has found herself back in familiar territory as she now sits atop the leaderboard in both the Mid-Amateur and Mid-Master divisions. Stouffer is currently at 1-under for the tournament and holds a three-shot lead on round one leader Catherine Matranga of Fort Worth, Texas, heading into the final round at Crown Isle.

Stouffer credited her strong round to hitting 16 greens coupled with strong putting on Friday.

“My putting and distance control was really good, so I didn’t really have a lot of stressful pars. I made one key sand save on number six and had to make a 12-footer there and that kept me going because I had just birdied five and was nice to not have a birdie then a bogey right after, so it was awesome to make that putt,” added Stouffer.

Stouffer noted that one of the two holes that she three-putted on Thursday happened to be the 6th after finding a bunker. She went on to double bogey the hole in the opening round but made up for it with par on Friday. The back nine is where Stouffer really took charge, birding three of her final four holes to record a 68.

“I just kept hitting greens and two-putting and getting close to birdies and I thought I’m going to make one here or there. I made a long one on 15 and then about a 15-footer on 16 and then I made a 30-footer on 18, so I rolled in some long ones at the end,” said Stouffer.

Stouffer admitted that she didn’t do any scoreboard watching on Friday, and that the course felt a bit shorter during her round although some pin placements made for some trickier shot making. This is familiar territory for Stouffer, who won the Mid-Amateur, Mid-Master and Inter-Provincial Team Championship in 2022, she will rely on that experience heading into tomorrow’s final round.

“All the experiences you go through definitely help to prepare for any tournament. The more tournament experience you have the better and also being able to know how to win is a definite plus.

“So, I will just do the same thing as I have the past two days. Just keeping in the present and just be calm and hit fairways and greens that’s all I’m going to try to do and make some putts like I did today,” she added following her round on Friday.

In addition, Stouffer also holds a five-shot lead in the Mid-Master division over Taya Battistella of Bellingham, Wash. Battistella also sits alone in third in the Mid- Amateur division.

The tournament began with a field of 64 golfers (aged 25-and-over as of July 11, 2024), with a handicap index of 12.0. The individual winner of the Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship will receive an exemption into the 2024 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur, taking place from September 7-12 at Brae Burn Country Club in West Newton, Mass. In addition, the champion will receive an exemption into the 2025 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship.

Shelly Stouffer leads Mid-Master division and Team British Columbia lead
Inter-Provincial team championship following Thursday

Courtenay, B.C. – Catherine Matranga fired a 1-under 71 on Thursday to take the lead following the opening round of the 2024 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur, presented by BDO at the Crown Isle Resort and Golf Community (Crown Isle) in Courtenay, B.C.

Matranga of Fort Worth, Texas was the only player to shoot under par at Crown Isle on Thursday. She began her round with nine consecutive pars to start, followed by back-to-back birdies to open the back nine. Matranga said her solid round was due to playing simple golf on Thursday.

“I got off to a pretty good start, felt like I was hitting my irons well, drove the ball well and just felt very comfortable out there today.

“Gave myself a lot of good looks for birdie but made easy pars to start off the round and continued that through the back nine and just overall felt really comfortable and kept it simple today,” said Matranga following her round.

Matranga also credited her consistent play and ability to recover well. She highlighted two shots on the front nine which allowed her to save pars after finding trouble. First from the bunker on three and then putting a wedge shot close on the seventh hole.

Matranga holds a three-shot lead in the mid-amateur division over Jamie Oleksiew of Vancouver, B.C. and is ahead by four shots over 2022 champion, Shelly Stouffer of Nanoose Bay, B.C. Matranga said she intends to stick to her game plan on Friday.

“Being committed to each shot. I have a plan and just making sure I am picking good targets and being committed to everything and each decision I make out there and see what happens in the end,” added Matranga.

Stouffer leads the Women’s Mid-Master division by one shot over Taya Battistella of Bellingham, Wash. Stouffer shot a 3-over 75 on Thursday. Tina Papatolis of Issaquah, Wash. And Marie-Thérèse Torti of Candiac, Que. are tied for third at 6-over, three back of Stouffer.

The inter-provincial competition is contested over the first 36-holes of the tournament.
