It looks like the Nicol Thompson designed Midland Golf & Country Club is a good fit for Ottawa-area golfers. They are excelling there at the CN Future Links Ontario Championship.
Orleans’ Grace St-Germain leads the girls’ competition after round one while Jake Bryson of Dunrobin has a share of the top spot on the boys’ side of the draw.
St-Germain, a member of the Team Canada Development Squad, posted an opening 68 (-2) over the scenic course. That has her three strokes ahead of the nearest competitor, Isabella Portokalis of London, Ontario.
St-Germain, the 2014 Canadian Junior Girls’ Champion, had four birdies during the first of three scheduled tournament rounds. Her scorecard was only marred by back-to-back bogies on the 8th and 9th holes.
