Gusty winds play havoc with Redmen in opening round at golf championship

 

VICTORIA, B.C. - The McGill men's golf team had a difficult first round at the national collegiate championship, conducted by Golf Canada, at the Cordova Bay Golf Course in Victoria, B.C., Tuesday.

High winds made a tough course even more difficult for McGill and other teams that began their rounds in the afternoon. Scores for the late grouping averaged close to five shots higher than those in the morning session. The top eight team scores were produced from the morning rounds.

Laval leads the men's division after the opening day with an 8-under par total of 276, five strokes better than second-place Waterloo and 14 ahead of third-place UBC.

McGill sits 19th of 20 teams, 37 shots off the lead.  Benoit Miquel, a civil engineering freshman from France who currently resides in Houston, Texas, led the Redmen with a 78 and is tied for 60th place overall. He was followed by teammates Ryan Boyd (80) of Montreal West, Tom Calvet (80), also from France, Brian Neill (83) of Ottawa and Sean McKinney (87) of Vancouver, B.C.

"We play in the morning group on Wednesday and have high hopes that the weather will be better," said McGill head coach Bob Dubeau.

Rounding out the Quebec teams is the Montreal Carabins, who sit seventh at 294 (+10) and UQTR, which ranks 20th with a 40-over 324. The Humber College Hawks, defending men’s team champions, are tied for fourth at 7-over 291, 15 strokes off the lead.

Only 13 of 105 men shot par or better in the first round. Harris Burry from the Western Mustangs leads the individual toteboard with a 5-under 66. Laval's Ugo Cussard and Waterloo's Garrett Rank, tied for second with 68 each.

On the women’s side, the University of Victoria Vikes carded a score of 19-over 232 to sit atop the leaderboard, three shots clear of the three-time defending champion UBC Thunderbirds.

Brantford, Ont. native Devon Rizzo of the Waterloo Warriors carded an opening-round 3-over 74 to lead the women’s individual division through 18 holes of play. Montréal Carabins team member Laurence Mignault of Varennes, Que. and Meaghan Pototschnik of Stratford, Ont., competing as an individual on behalf of the Windsor Lancers, are tied for second at 5-over 76.
