Dan Colquhoun Wins Ontario Senior Championship
Dan Colquhoun of Kitchener eked out a one-shot victory at North Halton Golf & Country Club to win the 68th Ontario Senior Amateur Golf Championship, Presented by Baka Wireless.
Colquhoun, 61, overcame a one shot deficit entering today's final round and managed to hold off Roger Self of Peterborough by a single stroke after both golfers carded identical 2-over par, 74's today. "I'm ecstatic, I've worked so hard and I've wanted to win this event since I turned 55."
First round leader - Chris Ingram of Brampton began the final round with a slim one stroke lead over Colquhoun, consecutive bogeys on holes 3 through 5 and Ingram's lead evaporated as Colquhoun managed to build his own one shot lead after the outward nine.
"When Chris got into trouble on #13 I kind of felt for him, but I knew I had a job to do," said Colquhoun. "That was definitely the turning point," referring to Ingram's double-bogey 5 on the par three, 13th.
Self, 56, matched Colquhoun stroke-for-stroke and wound up a single shot in arrears. The Kawartha Golf & Country Club member was thrilled following his second place showing. "This is a great feeling," said Self.
"My approach today was to put the ball in the right spots, I knew the pins were going to be tough," revealed Colquhoun, a former 30-year member of the Waterloo Police Force. "Fortunately, I didn't get into any trouble and my putter didn't let me down."
Ingram, Fred Silver of Lewiston, New York and Etobicoke's Patrick Suraj tied for third place at 223 (+7). The top four competitors from this event earned the chance to represent the province at the Canadian Inter-Provincial Team Championship next month in Newfoundland and Labrador; this event is run in conjunction with the Canadian Senior Amateur Championship. Because Silver is not a resident of Ontario, the 2003 Provincial Team is comprised of Colquhoun, Self, Ingram and Suraj, who is making his seventh appearance on Team Ontario.
The affable Suraj, a four-time champion of this event competed for the first time since undergoing surgery to remove a gastrointestinal carcinoid tumor only seven weeks ago. "I'm glad to be back, although it took a cancelled appointment for me to play this week," revealed the double Canadian Senior Champion. "I feel good and I'm happy with the way I played."
Although he missed the 36-hole cut, George Hevenor Jr. of Toronto was awarded the Super Senior Trophy as the tournament's top competitor in the 70+ age category. The Albert Hinton Trophy was awarded to Colquhoun in the 60 and over age bracket.
Defending champion - Brian Jeffery of Collingwood tied for 31st place at 231 (+15).
