The PGA of Canada and PGA of New Zealand started the Four Nation’s Cup strong at The Pulpit Club on Wednesday, with Canada claiming 3.5 of a possible 6 ‘game points’ vs. New Zealand, and South Africa winning 5 of a possible 6 ‘game points’ vs. Australia to win their opening matches.

Maggie was the wife of 43-year PGA of Canada member Bob Beauchemin. Bob was the commissioner of the Canadian Tour (now PGA Tour Americas) from 1985 to 1997 and helped elevate the Tour from pro-am events to recognized full-field 72-hole events across Canada. He’s now the Head Teaching Professional at Oakdale Golf and CC.
Pinegrove Country Club is difficult. So difficult, in fact, that the course-record of 64 has held up since Tommy Aaron shot the number on his way to a 1969 Canadian Open victory. The winning score at the 103rd PGA Championship of Canada – 15-under - came as a shock to many. But for those who witnessed Craig Stefureak plot his way around the course the past three days, the score sounds about right.
Jumping out of the gate with five birdies in his first seven holes on Wednesday morning, Craig Stefureak, a teaching professional at The Bunker in Ottawa, ON, backed up a first-round 67 with a 66 to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the PGA Championship of Canada.
Without a blemish on his card, Chris Vandette fired an opening-round 65, which included five birdies in his final eight holes, at Pinegrove Country Club to take a two-stroke lead of the 103rd PGA Championship of Canada.
The PGA of Canada’s flagship event is back for its 103rd edition this week, with Pinegrove Club de Golf providing the backdrop for 119 of the top professional golfers in the country.

Amateur Tillie Claggett put a pin in a memorable week at Burlington Golf & Country Club on Thursday, winning the PGA Women’s Championship of Canada by a commanding seven strokes with a total score of 13-under, the lowest mark in relation to par since Brooke Henderson’s 13-under performance in 2014.
