UBC Doubles Up At Canadian College Championships

For the women, who won by 25 strokes over defending champion University of Victoria Vikes in the rain-shortened 54-hole final, this was sweet revenge for last year's upset loss to the Vikes who had interrupted a string of five consecutive victories by the TBirds. Toronto's Humber College was a distant third, 75 shots behind UBC

UBC women's teams have now won six titles in the seven-year history of the National college championship, staged annually by the Royal Canadian Golf Association.

In the men's competition, the UBS TBirds scored a resounding 29-stroke triumph over Quebec's Université Laval, with the UVic Vikes and Humber College tied for third, 42 shots behind.

“It was a great feeling winning today,” said UBC fourth-year general sciences student Kyla Inaba. “Especially since we were coming back from our close second last year and then to win it like we did was really great.”
 
Inaba and her teammates Lindsay Manion, Marianne Banton, Jocelyn Alford and Alyssa Human were the picture of consistency at this week’s championship, finishing with a team score of 921 (+57).

In the women’s individual competition, Humber College’s Maggie Trainor of Dundas, Ont. broke British Columbia’s dominance to capture her first Women’s individual title.  Trainor drained two birdies for 6-over on the day, finishing with a three-day total of 78-71-78--227 (+11).  Finishing two strokes back was Inaba of Kelowna, BC, who shot 7-over on the day for a three-day total of 77-73-79--229 (+13). The University of Toronto’s Danielle Greene and UBC’s Marianne Banton tied for third at 16-over.
 
On the men’s side, UBC captured their second consecutive team title with a tournament total of 874 (+10).  Université Laval recorded a total of 903 (+39) while the University of Victoria and Humber College tied with 906 (+42).
 
UBC’s victory was especially sweet for Cory Renfrew of Victoria, BC. He claimed the men’s individual title with his score of 73 on the day, for a total score of (74-66-73) 213 (-3) for the tournament.
 
“It feels great to win, but it’s even better that the team won,” said Renfrew. “We came here viewing this as a whole other start.  We focused on what we could control this week and wanted to win as a team.”
 
Three players finished tied for runner-up - Université Laval’s Mathieu Gringras, McMaster University’s Matt Jacobs and UBC’s Andrew Robb - with a score of 3-over 219.
 
The championship was shortened to 54 holes after heavy rainfall on Thursday rendered the King’s Forest Golf Course unplayable to force the cancellation of the third round.
 
Both the male and female individual champions earned an exemption into the 2009 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship at Club de golf Le Blainvillier in Blainville, Que., and the 2009 Royale Cup Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship held at Royal Oaks Golf Links in Moncton, N.B., respectively.
