Fox Eyeing First Assistants’ Title
06 August, 2024
Sirocco GC hosted round 1 of the Cobra/Puma Golf Assistants Championship today with 68 of Alberta’s Assistant Professionals looking to set themselves up to hoist the trophy on Wednesday.
A change in weather brought some familiar faces to the top of the leaderboard as Mitchell Fox (Speargrass GC) got off to a hot start as he finished the day shooting a 6-under 66. Fox had five birdies and an eagle to hold a three shot lead over back-to-back defending champion, Wes Heffernan (Dynamic Motion Golf Performance Centre).
Dillon Batsel (Desert Blume GC) and Mike Belbin (Royal Mayfair GC) are sitting in a tie for third after opening the tournament with a 2-under 70. They will both look to stay in the mix later in the morning on Wednesday.
Tee times for round 2 will start at 7:00am.
