Seaforth Golf and Country Club - Canadian Tour Results
SEAFORTH, Ont. - Kent Eger fired a seven under par 64 to capture the Canadian Tour's Seaforth Country Classic by two strokes over Wil Collins, John Ellis and Daniel Im.
Eger's 26 under par total falls just one short of Tim Clark's record 27 under par set at the 1998 New Brunswick Open.
Derek Gillespie closed with a 64 to grab solo fifth while Andrew Parr (66), Dong Yi (65) and Adam Bland (69) shared sixth spot at 21 under par 263.
"How's my confidence? It's great now," said Eger with a big laugh. "When you're in contention, you're confident. Once you get in the moment, you become more focused and block everything else out. The problem is getting there."
As the final groups made the turn, Eger, Collins and Im were battling for the lead with Adam Bland and John Ellis hot on their heels.
When Im eagled 14, Eger fell two strokes back of both Collins and Im while Bland began to fall away. However, Eger refused to give up.
"It's a long day and a lot can happen in a few holes, he explained. "A two shot deficit can disappear on even one hole. I never got out of touch with the leaders and there was no panic on my part.
"I was in control of my emotions all day. I started to hit some really good shots on the back and made a nice 40-footer for birdie at 12. That really pumped me up."
Eger made four in a row starting at the 14th and took a look at the scoreboard as he approached the final holes.
Ellis was threatening at 24 under but his approach to 18 fell short and right into deep rough, forcing him to get up and down for par.
Im ended up in the same spot and like Ellis, was forced to rescue par.
"As I was coming up 16, I saw that Im was 25 under. I then birdied the hole to tie him and when I birdied 17 from six feet, I knew what I had to do," said Eger.
"I hit a great 3-wood down the fairway and I realized as I walked up 18 that Daniel (Im) had bogeyed 17 .
"It feels great to win but at the same time, I expect to win each time I tee it up."
And yes, Eger spoke with his mother again on Saturday evening. "Well, we talk every night. She told me to have a good attitude, play well and to be tough.
"Out of everything today, I would have to say that my putter was the best. I drove it well, I putted very well and the wedges were good enough. They (the wedges) weren't spectacular but they got the job done.
For Wil Collins, it was his second runner-up finish of the season.
"I felt like I didn't leave anything out there," said Collins, of his seven birdie one eagle 62.
"I had my chances and converted a lot of birdies as opposed to yesterday when I made only two. I had a great week.
It could have been better if not for the par-5, 15th, a hole most players birdied.
"I hit a 3-wood at 15 and just slightly blocked it into the trees. I didn't know those trees were in play until I put it there," he said.
Collins was forced to pitch out and was faced with a 171-yard third shot.
"I told myself to settle down and that I still had a chance for birdie.
I hit a great shot in close but unfortunately thought too much on the putt. I bounced back, though, with a great up and down from off the green for birdie at 16.
"Overall, I played well today but my wedges were a little suspect on the last two holes and I was forced to hit long putts. It would have been nice to make those but you can't leave yourself the long ones."
In the Clubhouse
Wes Heffernan made a hole in one at the tenth hole. The Calgary native hit 9-iron to the 151 yard hole and watched the ball take one hop and roll into the hole. It was his first ace in five years and third overall.
