DUNCAN, B.C. (July 14, 2009) – Scott Kral of Victoria, B.C. fired a sizzling 5-under par 67 to set the early pace at the 108th playing of the B.C. Amateur Championship being played at Duncan Meadows Golf & Country Club in beautiful Duncan, B.C.

Kral, a two-time B.C. Junior Boys champion and former Wilingdon Cup team member played a nearly bogey free round that saw six birdies and his only bogey at 18.

“I was hitting it pretty good today,” says Kral. “I made a few good putts and it worked for me.”

Defending champion Eugene Wong of North Vancouver, B.C., newly-crowned B.C. Junior Boys’ champion Riley Wheeldon of Comox, B.C., Kyle Sobczak of Invermere, B.C., Brent Wilson of Victoria, B.C. and Cory Renfrew also of Victoria, B.C. are all in the mix for second place at 3-under par 69.

Alexander Michalowski of Burnaby, B.C., Jarred Callbeck of Victoria, B.C. and Brett Stewart of Abbotsford, B.C. share seventh at 2-under par 70.

Competition is contested over 72 holes of stroke-play. There is a cut to the low 70 and ties tomorrow after the second round.

Zone 5 team members, Bryan Toth of Gorge Vale Golf Club, Craig Doell of Victoria Golf Club, Scott Kral of Cowichan Golf & Country Club and Ben Griffin of Uplands Golf Club lead the B.C. Amateur Zone championship at 5-under 211.

Zones 3 and 6 are tied for second, at 1-over 217 followed by Zone 4 in fourth at 6-over 222.
