October 16, 2022
Ottawa, Ont. - It was a golden day two for the Toronto Varsity Blues women's and McMaster Marauders men's teams at the 2022 OUA Golf Championship at Hylands Golf Club in Ottawa.
FULL RESULTS
For Toronto, consistency was key in securing their ninth OUA title, leading into day two the Varsity Blues posted a collective score of 240, finishing with a two-day total of 474, seven strokes clear of their closest competition.
McMaster's path to their first OUA title in 18 years was a dramatic one, soaring up from third to first behind the outstanding performance of individual men's champion Nicolas Dessureault, who shot -9, with nine birdies on the day for a 63.
Dessureault rose 23 places on day two after shooting +6 on Saturday. In all, McMaster boasted two individual medal performances between Dessureault and Kavith Ranchagoda, who finished tied with for a bronze medal.
A complete effort made the difference for the Blues in their win with each of their four golfers finishing within the top nine including Sara Cumby and Stephanie Chen matching each other's score in a tie for fifth individually.
Western's Rylie Grogan was named the women's individual champion, finishing +9 on the tournament, maintaining her day one lead and helping earn the defending champions a silver medal.
It was heartbreak for the Laurier Golden Hawks on the men's side, settling for silver after slipping from their day one lead. Jonathon Cramton took home individual silver, while Guelph's Justin Allen finished tied for bronze. In all, the Gryphons took home team bronze after rising four places on Sunday.
