« Nick Taylor Reaches U.S. Public Links Final | Home | Nick Taylor -- A Jolting Taste Of Reality »
Using his imagination during time at the driving range worked to perfection for Daniel Brown of Kelowna who is the new British Columbia Amateur Champion for 2009.
Brown fired a final round of 5-under par 67 to win the 108th provincial men's amateur title by one stroke at Vancouver Island's Duncan Meadows Golf Club.
“It was great to play at a level I know I’m capable of,” said Brown, who came in at 11-under 277. “It’s hard to put together four good rounds but I knew I had it in me.”
Brown, who plays out of Creston Golf Club but calls the range his second home, won the 2009 Ogopogo championship at Kelowna Golf Club a few weeks ago and is looking to pick up even more of the momentum of late.
“I don’t get in many rounds and really only have time for the driving range,” says Brown, who has three young children at home and finds it very difficult to play many full rounds of golf. “I don’t just get out there and drive the balls. I create a course in my head and play it out.”
Brown's final round Friday at Duncan Meadows included six birdies and just one bogey.
Third round leader, Brady Johnson of Mill Bay, was on a rampage through the front nine at 5-under par but, alas, carded a triple-bogey on the 13th hole and a double on the 16th to finish in second place at 10-under 278.
Kevin Carrigan was on fire, shooting a 6-under par 66 and finished tied with defending champion Eugene Wong of North Vancouver at 6-under 282. Wong prevailed in a four hole playoff for the final spot on the B.C. Willingdon Cup Team and third place.
The BC Willingdon Cup Team for the 2009 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship at Club de golf Le Blainvillier in Blainville, QC, August 9-13 will be made up of Daniel Brown, Brady Johnson, Eugene Wong and World No. 1 ranked amateur Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, who was named to the team last week before embarking on a journey to Oklahoma to participate in the U.S. Men's Amateur Public Links championship. Taylor has qualified to play in the 36-hole final Saturday.
