ROSENEATH, P.E.I. - Inclement weather has forced the
cancellation of Round 2 at the 2011 PING Canadian Collegiate
Athletic Association (CCAA) Golf National Championships on
Thursday, putting Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA)
student-athletes in great position to bring home some hardware.
The originally scheduled three round, 54-hole tournament will be
shortened to two rounds and 36 holes, with the final 18 holes being
played on Friday. 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.
A pair of Humber golfers lead the men's competition entering
Friday's final round. Adrian Cord jumped out to a
four-under 68 to lead all golfers after Day 1 on Wednesday.
Mark Hoffman is on Cord's heals after posting a
two-under 70 as both Humber athletes were the only competitors to
break par.
Hoffman is the two-time defending 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
is currently tied for 15th individually, along with St. Clair's
Ashley Unrau.
