By Earl Zukerman
VICTORIA – The ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Redmen remained 16th of 20 teams overall
after two rounds at the Royal Canadian Golf Association collegiate
championships, at the Cordova Bay course in Victoria, B.C.
Windy conditions resulted in higher scores for most teams but the
tourney-leading UBC Thunderbirds once again posted the day’s top
score, shooting a one-under par 283 to extend their lead in a quest
for their first RCGA championship. They have an 18-stroke lead over
second-place Victoria, followed by the defending champion Humber
College Hawks in third, two strokes back.
The Redmen fired three eagles and their top four scorers combined
to shoot a 22-over 306 on the day, a three-stroke improvement from
Tuesday’s opening round, which put them 22 strokes over with two
rounds completed. Combined with their opening round score of 148,
the Redmen have a 47-over 615.
Sam Hayes of Aylmer, Que., led ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ with a three-over 74. Other
individual scores for the Redmen on the day included Sebastien
Thibodeau (75) of Laval, Que., Kyle Schiissler (78) of
Beaconsfield, Que., Samuel Mamane (79) of Montreal and Aidan
Brownlie (80) of Springfield, Mass.
Western's Geoff McLeod retained his lead atop the individual
leaderboard, finishing the second round at five-under par through
34 holes.
After Thursday's third round, the field will be cut to the low 10
teams. The 72-hole tournament concludes on Friday.
