Scarborough – What started as a warm, windy and beautiful day at the Scarboro Golf & Country Club saw a brief rain delay before completing day one of the 2022 Ontario Men’s Amateur Championship.
The rain delay only lasted 30 minutes, allowing the golfers to get back on the course and wrap up the first round of play. To end round one, Jeff Fang (Players Club – Markham) finished top of the table with a 3-under (68). Behind Fang, with a score of minus-two (69), Aidan Gavey (Beverly Golf & Country Club) holds the second overall spot. Bennett Ruby (Westmount Golf & Country Club), Jeffrey Clarke (Glencairn Golf Club), Zachary Smith (Brampton Golf Club Ltd), and Justin Allen (Weston Golf & Country Club Ltd) all sit tied in third with a score of minus-one (70).
The men will start round two tomorrow morning at 8 am and will tee off on holes one and eight. For media coverage of the Ontario Men’s Amateur Championship, please visit the Golf Ontario Facebook page to view our photo albums. To follow along with the leaderboard, visit our Golf Genius page.
