ROSENEATH, P.E.I. - Humber College picked up where it left off
at the 2011 PING Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA)
Golf National Championships on Wednesday, as the defending men's
team champions are the first round leaders thanks to a strong
showing by 2010 CCAA medalists Adrian Cord and
Mark Hoffman.
Cord jumped out to a four-under 68 to lead all golfers after Day
1. Hoffman is on Cord's heals after posting a two-under 70 as both
Humber athletes were the only competitors to break par.
The 2011 PING CCAA Golf National Championships are taking place at
the Brudenell River Golf Course in Roseneath, P.E.I. and are hosted
by Holland College.
Hoffman is the two-time defending Ontario Colleges Athletic
Association (OCAA) men's champion, and the reigning national silver
medalist. Cord has won consecutive OCAA silver medals, and a CCAA
bronze last year.
Five OCAA golfers rank in the Top 10, including Fanshawe's
Taylor Booth and Durham's David
Lang who are tied for fourth place with scores of one-over
73. Humber's Conor Hache sits in a tie for ninth
place shooting a three-over 75.
Defending OCAA bronze co-medalists Alex Dumais of
Humber and Brennan Smith of St. Lawrence-Kingston
are tied for 24th overall shooting six-over 78.
With a first round score of 291, Humber leads the men's team
competition by 12 strokes over host Holland College of P.E.I.
Durham sits in fourth place with a score of 304.
In the women's competition, 2011 OCAA champion Tiffany
Albath of Durham is in third place, nine strokes behind
clubhouse leader Josee Doyon of Champlain St
Lawrence in Quebec after she shot even par. Albath's 81 is three
strokes better than teammate Kayleigh Kraemer and
Georgian's Nicole Belcourt, who are tied for fifth
shooting 84. Albath and Kraemer are defending national silver and
bronze medalists, respectively.
Durham leads the women's team competition with Albath and
Kraemer's combined score of 165. Georgian is in fourth place, 11
strokes off the pace. Two-time defending bronze medalist
Jasmine Paton had a tough round shooting 92. Paton
