Coré hits historic hole-in-one at Canadian golf championships

HAMILTON – Melissa Coré of Beaconsfield, Que., shot a three-over-par 75 and became the first golfer in McGill history to fire a hole-in-one, at the Canadian collegiate championships at King’s Forest Golf Club in Hamilton, Ont., Wednesday.

Coré, a 22-year-old management student, used a 7-iron from 145 yards out for her ace on the 14th hole. After two rounds of play, she sits third of 51 golfers overall with a 9-over 153, four strokes behind leader Maggie Trainor from Humber College.

Trainer shot a 71 on the day to take the lead in the individual competition and now sits at 5-over for the tournament. UBC’s Kayla Inaba shot a 73 to put her at 6-over.

After Thursday’s third round, the field will be reduced to individuals within 15 strokes of the lead for a playoff round.

In the men’s competition, UBC’s Corey Renfrew shot a 6-under 66 on the day to take the lead in the men’s individual competition and now sits at 4-under for the tournament.  Sean Patrick of University of the Fraser Valley shot a 67, while Matt Jacobs of McMaster shot a 72. Both of them are at even par for the tournament.  Laval’s Mathieu Gingras sits alone in fourth at 1-over.


UBC, the defending champions, lead the team standings with a two-day team score of 582 (+6).  Fraser Valley and Humber College overtook the Laval Rouge et Or for second place.  Both teams carded a team score of 582 (+22). Laval is fourth, three strokes back with a score of 601 (+25).


On the women’s side, five-time champion UBC continues to lead the team standings with a two-day score of 614 (+38) while the defending champs from the University of Victoria are 15 shots back in second at 629 (+53). Humber College is third at 648 (+72) while the Montréal Carabins overtook Toronto for fourth place with 664 (+88).

Third round action continues Thursday at King’s Forest with tee times beginning at 7:30 a.m. (EST).

Starting times and post-round results for the tourney are available at www.rcga.org/championships.

In all, 154 male and female golfers from 26 post-secondary institutes across Canada are competing for both team and individual titles at this  event.  The field is comprised of 20 men’s and 10 women’s teams as well as six individuals.



The team championship involves five-player teams competing over 72 holes with the top four individual scores counting towards the team total.



As part of the RCGA’s Pathway to Champions, both the male and female individuals achieving the low score after 72 holes of play will earn an exemption into the 2009 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship and the 2009 Royale Cup Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship respectively.

The following are second-round scores for the 2009 Canadian collegiate championships, conducted by the Royal Canadian Golf Association on Wednesday. (Best four of five individual scores count towards the team total).
