She stumbled but she did not fall.
After rounds of 69 and 70 Ottawa’s Grace St-Germain had a three-stroke lead heading into the third round of the Investors Group Ontario Women’s Amateur. While she faltered slightly on Thursday with a 76 (+4) at the Ambassador Golf Club in Windsor, the Canadian National Development Team member still remains just one stroke off the lead at -1 overall.
With St-Germain sliding backward it left room for no less than four players to have a share of the lead at some point during the third round.
Holding top spot with one day left on the schedule are Ridgeway’s Madeline Marck-Sherk and Guelph’s Rachel Pollock who now sit on two under par.
On Wednesday 18 year-old Marck-Sherk (74-71-69-214) matched her final round score from last week’s Ontario Junior Girl’s Championship, 69, to move up from a share of 6th.
21 year-old Rachel Pollock,(68-75-71-214), currently a student at East Tennessee State University, has a slow start in round three but the Whistle Bear Golf Club member turned it around quickly to get into a share of the lead.
Thornhill’s Judith Kyrinis is fourth at even par (71-73-72-216) for the tournament. Kyrinis, a member at Thornhill Club, had another solid round finishing the third round at even par (72).
Rounding out the top five is a four-way tie at two-over. In that tie are: Ruthven’s Alyssa Getty (74-73-71-218), St. Thomas’ Mary Ann Hayward (71-74-73-218), Richmond Hill’s Monet Chun (68-75-75-218) and Richmond Hill’s Jessica Ip (71-71-76-218).
In total 64 players began the four-day, 72-hole tournament. In addition to playing for the Marlene Stewart Streit Trophy, the top three finishers will earn for the right to represent Ontario in the team competition at the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship, July 26-29 at the Ken-Wo Golf Club in New Minas, Nova Scotia.
