NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. - Thirty six holes are now complete at the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) Golf Championships, with the excitement about to pick up for Wednesday's final round.
Fanshawe College's Mitchel Hampson and Humber College's Madison Ouellette are still setting the pace as both remain atop their respective leaderboards. Hampson fired a second straight two-under 70 to sit four-under with 18 holes to play, four shots ahead of Trey Ross of Humber.
Ouellette meanwhile came within a stroke of matching her Monday round, posting an impressive one-over 73. Ouellette is currently one-over for the tournament, 15 strokes ahead of Humber teammate Hayley McCallum and Devyn Fraser of Durham College.
The team competition is tight on the men's side with Fanshawe (592) overtaking Humber (593) on Tuesday to take a one-stroke advantage heading into Wednesday. Georgian College (621) sits in the bronze medal position 29 shots behind the front runners, but with a nine stroke lead on Durham (633).
