Kingsville, ON – Spectators were in for a treat at Kingsville Golf & Country Club today for the final round of the 2022 Ontario Junior Girls Championship.
Clinching her very first Ontario tournament win, Swetha Sathish (Hidden Lake Golf Club) deservedly claims the 2022 Junior Girls Champion title after four fantastic rounds of golf this week.
Sathish demonstrated her strong composure today as she would comfortably hold her lead throughout the entire final round. With two bogeys to begin the day, Sathish did not seem bothered and would bounce back with two late birdies to finish even par (72) on the day and for the tournament (288). One of her birdies came on the 18th hole, where she would drop her tee shot within a foot of the hole to nearly hole-out to end the tournament. Players, parents, volunteers and other audience members at the 18th green erupted as the ball rolled towards the pin. Sathish tapped in the easy putt for her second birdie of the day and would welcome a massive ovation from what seemed like every individual on the course.
Team Ontario member Sarah Gallagher (Trafalgar Golf & Country Club) also had a terrific week. Gallagher finished 6-over (294) for the tournament and took home the Silver Medal after finishing even par (72) in rounds three and four. Kelly Zhao (Station Creek Golf Course) took home the Bronze Medal, finishing 8-over (296) for the week.

Scarboro G&CC Ready to Host Centennial Men’s Amateur
Golf Ontario
Scarborough, ON – Scarboro Golf and Country Club’s distinguished hosting resume has seen four Canadian Opens, the Canadian Tour Championship and several amateur championships. With prestigious championships being nothing new at Scarboro, the 100th playing of the Ontario Men’s Amateur Championship is set to get underway from July 12th – 15th. This year, a field of 156 competitors is ready to play to their strengths to determine who’ll take home the prestigious Men’s Amateur Crown.
“Scarboro Golf & Country Club is a Tillinghast design that’s challenging for all skill levels. Even though the course specs out at 6500 yards, it plays much longer and has undulating greens that defend it against today’s long hitters,” said Chris Piedimonte, Head Professional at Scarboro Golf & Country Club.
As 2021 Champion Thomas Giroux is not set to return, we will have a new champion lifting the trophy after four rounds. Some past Golf Ontario Champions to keep an eye out for include: Dave Bunker (Cherry Hill Club), Ben MacLean (Cherry Hill Club), Dave Greenaway (Barrie Country Club), and Charles Fitzsimmons (St. Thomas Golf & Country Club). MacLean, Greenaway and Fitzsimmons have already secured championship hardware in 2022 and are looking to keep their hot play going for the Men’s Amateur Championship this week.
The championship sees round one underway at 8:00 am on Tuesday, July 12th. For qualifying, pin locations, tee times, and leaderboard information check out our Golf Genius page.

Feschuk wins the 100th Ontario Junior Boys (U19) Championship
Golf Ontario
Sudbury, ON – Oscar Feschuk (Weston Golf & Country Club Ltd.) rightfully wins the 2022 Ontario Junior Boys Championship after shooting 3-under (69) in the final round from Timberwolf Golf Club. Feschuk began the day three strokes back from his groupmate Cameron Pero (Picton Golf & Country Club). However, Feschuk quickly addressed the three-stroke deficit, as he would sink two birdie putts on the first two holes. Feschuk would gain even more momentum after another birdie on the 9th, giving him a single-stroke lead over Pero heading onto the back nine. Feschuk would continue to build off this momentum for the rest of the round, gaining four more strokes and securing his first tournament win.
In addition, another notable player in today’s round is Bronze Medal winner Matthew Javier (Scarboro Golf & Country Club). Javier finished today’s round 3-under (69) and continues his hot streak with his second, third-place finish in two championship tournaments.
Pero, a Team Ontario member, had a fantastic tournament and put up three consecutive 68’s in rounds one, two and three. This week, he was a delight to watch and couldn’t have been more supportive of his friend Oscar as he received his championship trophy.
Golf Ontario would like to thank the players, staff, and volunteers for supporting the Ontario Junior Boys Championship.
