Greg Koster Claims BC Men's Mid Amateur Crown

"I really prepared for this championship," sayid he jubilant Koster. "This was the tournament I wanted to win this year. I drove down here a few times to play the course and it paid off for me. My game came together at the right time."

Defending champion, Ben Griffin of Victoria, B.C. finished at 1-under 209, four shots ahead of veteran amateur Craig Doell of Victoria, B.C.

Naniamo's Sandy Harper carded a final round of 1-over 71 to claim the Master 40 title at 4-over 214. Although he lost ground on the final hole, Steve Berry of Sooke, B.C. managed to hang on for a second place finish at 8-over 218. Noel Pumfrey of Victoria, B.C. moved into the top three by retrogression at 9-over 219.

Greg Koster, Ben Griffin, Sandy Harper and Steve Berry will now represent B.C. at the Mid-Amateur Inter-provincial Team Championship at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club in Gatineau, Quebec, August 16-20, 2010
