BATHURST, N.B. – The second round of the Canadian Junior Boys Championship, presented by BDO, was suspended on Wednesday due to inclement weather at Gowan Brae Golf Club in Bathurst, N.B.
Play was suspended at 2:20 p.m. local time just moments after first round co-leader Dawson Lew of Toronto, Ont. teed off on the first hole. Lew did not complete the hole and his fellow co-leaders William Bellavance of I‘Isle-Verte, Que. and Austin Krahn of Christina Lakes, B.C. didn’t start their second round prior to the suspension of play.
Players who teed off in the morning were able to complete their rounds on Wednesday as the entire morning wave wrapped up before weather disrupted play. Carter O’Brien of Spencerville, Ont. highlighted the limited action by pocketing four birdies through his opening ten holes to shoot a 2-under 68 and pull into a tie for fourth with Henry Dao of La Prairie, Que. at 3-under.
Sixteen players were able to get their second round into red figures ahead of the weather delay, with O’Brien tying Nathan Le-Nguyen of Toronto, Ont. and Evan Hall of Elmira, Ont. for the low round of the day at 2-under. Additionally, Oscar Ricketts of Pointe Claire, Que. was able to climb towards the top of the Juvenile Boys Championship with a 1-under 69 to pull within two strokes of Lew and sit alone in second at 2-under.
Team Ontario and Team British Columbia (B.C.) were unable to get any action in ahead of the delay, resulting in Team Ontario continuing to lead Team B.C. by a pair of strokes at 5-under. The leaders are represented by Spencer Shropshire of Ramara, Ont. Andy Dai of Markham, Ont. and Lew. Maxim McKenzie of Chilliwack, B.C., Oakley Mayner of Kelowna, B.C. and Krahn will tee off for Team B.C. on Thursday to formulate a comeback.
