Wes Heffernan Takes One-Shot Lead into Final Round of 2025 Assistants’ Championship
14 July, 2025
RYLEY, Alta.—One month removed from competing in his eighth RBC Canadian Open, Wes Heffernan has his name at the top of the leaderboard after the opening day of the 36-hole Assistants’ Championship, presented by Cold Stream Clear.
Arguably Alberta’s most accomplished golf professional carded nines of 36-34 to finish two shots in the red while mixing together five birdies with one bogey and one double bogey.
Heffernan finished one-shot clear of Chase Rau (Sturgeon Valley Golf and Country Club) and Shawn Proulx (River Ridge Golf and Country Club) who matched cards at 71 (-1).
Mitchell Fox (Speargrass Golf Course) was even par.
The Assistants’ Championship features 78 of the top associate golf professionals in Alberta competing in a head-to-head battle at the Coal Creek Golf Resort in northern Alberta.
