Jamieson Tour makes stop at Rochester Place

By Bryce Evon

After the initial tour stop at Rochester Place was cancelled due to heavy rains, players were excited to get back out last Thursday and test their skill against the par-72 layout in Belle River.

In the Junior Girls Division, Kyla Charlebois (Pointe West) fired a one-under par 71 to claim the victory. Charlebois’ round included two birdies on the front nine, along with 2 birdies and 7 pars on the back nine. In second place was Alyssa Cowling (Ambassador), who shot a two-over par 74.

In the Collegiate Womens’ Division, Gioia DiCiocco (Erie Shores) shot an 87 to earn the win, while Erin Kopinak (Delaware State) and Hannah Prieur (Kingsville) finished second and third, respectively.

Aidan Webster (Willow Ridge/Wisconsin-Parkside Rangers) claimed the title in the Junior Boys’ Division by firing a two-under par 70, to best Alek Mauro (Essex/Detroit Mercy) and Nicholas Tanovich (Beach Grove) by two shots. Webster’s round got off to a rough start, but in his final 16 holes, he recorded 5 birdies and 11 pars to bring his total back to two-under.

James Hill (Essex/Detroit Mercy) blazed through the Rochester Place layout in impressive fashion, shooting an 8-under par 64 on the day and winning the Collegiate Mens’ Division by five strokes. His nines of 33- 31 included 7 birdies and an eagle on his final hole. In second place was Josh DiCarlo with a three-under par 69 (Pointe West/Wayne State Warriors).

The Jamieson Tour stopped at Kingsville Golf and Curling Club on Monday for the final event of the season. Full results can be found at www.jamiesonjuniortour.ca
