Kathrine Chan capped a busy stretch of competitive summer golf with a 13th place finish at the Canadian Girls Championship which wrapped up on Friday at the Beach Grove Golf Club in Tsawwassen.
The Quilchena Golf and Country Club junior member fired a 4-over 76 in her final round which included birdies on the par-4 10th and par-5 17th holes. She had fired earlier rounds of 75-75-76. Mayfair Lakes’ Sherri Yang was tied for 19th after closing out the tournament with an impressive 73. Her scorecard included birdies on the par-4 5th and 10th holes, along with 17.
The event was won by Quebec’s Céleste Dao who closed out the championship with a 74 and was the only player to finish at even par. She was three shots better than Ontario’s Emily Zhu.
A week earlier, Chan finished 66th at the Canadian Women’s Amateur at Marine Drive. She recorded rounds of 74-75-80-74.
Three others from Quilchena made the cut at the Canadian Junior Girls. Karen Zhang finished tied for 32nd — highlighted by an even par-72 in her final round to make a big move up on the leaderboard. Tina Jiang (81-84-77-80) was tied for 47th, while Elise Liu (83-81-86-80) was 64th.
