Three-Way Tie for Top Spot at the Club Pro Championship
26 July, 2020
It was a beautiful day for Round 1 of the annual PING Club Pro Championship hosted this year at Windermere G&CC in Edmonton.
Coming ready to play today and sitting in a three-way tie for 1st is the likes of Jeff Cuthbertson (Stony Plain GC), and former Champions Craig McArthur (Edmonton Junior Golf at Jagare Ridge) who won in 2017 at The Derrick G&WC, and Jamie Gerlitz (Picture Butte GC) who won two years ago in 2018 at Innisfail GC. All players made their fair share of birdies today mixed in with a few bogeys to finish at even-par 71, giving them a two-stroke lead over their nearest competitors heading into tomorrow.
Sitting at a respectable two-over par 73 and tied for 4th is Host Professional Brice MacDermott (Executive Professional at Windermere G&CC) and PGA of Alberta President/former Champion Greg McGarry (Glendale G&CC), who won the Championship back-to-back years in 2005 and 2006.
Alone in 6th place is Eric Porter (Lethbridge CC) after carding a 74 (3-over) to maintain some pressure on the leaders. Right behind Eric in 7th sits our other Host Professional Jason Hnatiw (Head Professional at Windermere G&CC) at 75 (4-over).
In a four-way tie for 8th at 77 is Dallas Cantera (Cardiff G&CC), Gord Courage (Hamptons GC), Jeremy Lavallee (Northern Bear GC), and former Champion Jason Stanier (Inglewood G&CC) who won the Championship back in 2010 at Earl Grey GC.
