Native of St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, Que., won $36,000 for finishing first.
Étienne Papineau said he didn’t dare look up at the leaderboard Sunday at Uplands Golf Club until the 16th hole. He liked what he saw when he finally trained his eyes on it.
“I had surgery in December and you never know how you are going to bounce back from surgery,” said Papineau. The volunteers at Uplands sang O Canada as Papineau approached the podium to accept the championship trophy. It was appropriate as his win continued a big month for Canadian golf following Nick Taylor’s victory last week to become the first Canadian to win the Canadian Open since Pat Fletcher of Victoria in 1954.
“Our young Canadian pro golfers see our PGA Tour players such as Nick Taylor, Adam Hadwin, Corey Conners, Mackenzie Hughes and Adam Svensson and think ‘why can’t that be me?’ ” said Pritchard. “There is strength in numbers and there are going to be more Canadians making it in pro golf over the next 10-15 years,” said du Toit.
“If you can shave off a stroke here and there, who knows what can happen in your career?” said Rowe, of chasing the pro dream.
