Duncan Meadows Golf & Country Club prepares to host 108th playing of British Columbia Amateur Championship
Duncan Meadows Golf & Country Club in Duncan, B.C. is set to host the 108th playing of the British Columbia Amateur, conducted by the British Columbia (BCGA).
One of Canada’s oldest golf championships, the BC Amateur runs July 14-17 and will crown the province’s top amateur golfer.
North Vancouver’s Eugene Wong will be back to defend his title, fresh-off his stellar play at the 2009 B.C. Junior Boys’ Championship where he finished runner-up to Riley Wheeldon of Comox, B.C. Wheeldon’s final round 8-under 64 earned him the junior title with a record-tying 270.
Also among those in the 156 player field eager to have their name on the Bostock Cup are last year’s runner-up, Parker Lilly of Victoria, B.C., 2009 B.C. Mid-Amateur champion, Ben Griffin of Victoria, B.C. and national amateur team member, Lindsay Renolds of Cristina Lake, B.C.
Other top contenders include past Canadian amateur champion, Darren Wallace of Langley, B.C., 2009 Times Colonist Open runner-up, Brady Johnson of Mill Bay, B.C. and past B.C. amateur champions, Bryan Toth of Victoria, B.C. and Doug Roxburgh of Vancouver, B.C.
Selection of the Willingdon Cup team representing B.C. at the Canadian Men’s Amateur this year will be based on the low 3 finishers in the tournament. Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C. was named to the four-man Willingdon Cup team last week even though he won't be competing in the B.C. Amateur Championship – he accepted an exemption into the U.S. Public Links running the same week.
Competition will be 72 holes of stroke-play. There is a cut to the low 70 and ties after the second round.
In the event of a tie for the championship or positions on the Willingdon Cup Team there will be a sudden victory play-off immediately after completion of the final round.
Competition for the zone team championship and club team championship is on day one and two of the Championship only. Four person zone teams are named by each zone prior to the start of the tournament. The zone team competition uses the low 3 of 4 scores each day. Two-person club teams are selected after the first round by taking the two players with the lowest score from each club with two or more competitors.
The B.C. Amateur Championship is one of 13 provincial championships conducted annually by the BCGA.
A complete list of players, starting times and post-round results for the 108th playing of the British Columbia Amateur Championship can be found at www.bcga.org.
