Entwistle, AB – The day started with a frost delay, but that didn’t stop the players from heating up on the golf course as the first round of the 2024 Men’s Mid-Master Championship got underway today at Trestle Creek Golf Resort.

Chris Thayer, who came up from the United States for the championship, is tied after Day 1 for the lead with an impressive score of 3 under 69 complete with 6 birdies. Tied with Thayer at the top is Grant Oh, who won both the 2020 Men’s Mid-Master Championship and the 2020 Men’s Senior Championship.

Looking down the leaderboard to the top 10, plenty of contenders are within shouting distance of the leaders. Tom McKinlay Jr, the 2017 Men’s Mid-Master Champion sits in solo third. The defending Men’s Senior Champion, James Varnam, sits alone in 4^th with solid 1 under 71. Three players sit tied in 5^th at 72, including Brian Laubman who helped the Men’s Senior Interprovincial team defend their title at the Canadian Men’s Senior Championship this past fall.
