PONOKA, Alta. (Alberta Golf) – Round two saw a shuffle in the leader board, as different competitors top the rankings for the 2016 Alberta Men’s Mid Amateur Championship. All three leaders going into today’s round shot over par, opening the door for Levi McDermott to seize first place and Jordan Irwin to take second.
Levi McDermott had a low scoring round, carding birdies on each par 5 that Ponoka Golf Club had to offer. “I just hit driver a lot and my driver’s been my best club in my bag,” McDermott explained when asked about how he approached today’s round. His tournament score of -3, 141, leaves him in a great position heading into the final round tomorrow.
The consistent weather in round two also proved to be an advantage for Jordan Irwin from Banff Springs. “You almost throw out the window what happened earlier and just kind of start fresh,” he explained. Irwin, a past Pacific Coast Amateur Champion and three-time member of the Alberta Willingdon Cup team, credited his putting en route to second place, just a stroke behind the leader.

Senan Foley, a three-time Alberta Men’s Mid Amateur interprovincial team member, and Paul Briske share first place on the Alberta Mid Master Championship leader board going into the championship round.
