Medicine Hat College golfers sit near bottom after round one at CCAA Nationals
Both Rattlers squads trail the field in Quebec as the national tournament's compressed schedule may push final rounds into Saturday.
The Medicine Hat College Rattlers golf teams finished the first round of the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association National Championship in the back half of the standings on Wednesday at Blainvillier Golf Club in Blainville, Que.
The men's team sits last among 10 teams, four strokes behind ninth-place John Abbott and six behind eighth-place NAIT. Champlain St. Lawrence leads at nine-over par. Among the five Rattlers men, Wyatt Bishop is highest at 28th with a nine-over 81, followed by Cash Welk in 32nd, Hayden King in 36th, and Everett Leifso and Jaxon Magnus tied for 48th.
The women's team, competing as part of a combined ACAC 1 squad that also includes another ACAC golfer, sits fifth of seven teams, four strokes ahead of sixth and seventh place but eight behind fourth-place OCAA 1. RSEQ 1 leads the women's event at five-over par. Rattlers golfers Kiara Reesor and Rebecca Armstrong are 14th and 16th individually.
The four-round tournament was originally scheduled to run Tuesday through Friday but started a day late on Wednesday, meaning the event may extend into Saturday to complete all rounds.
