Speirs’ worst round of the week came Sunday when he posted an even-par 72, but earlier rounds of 67, 67 and 69 were enough to carry him to a one-stroke win over Wes Heffernan and Byron Smith.

Speirs finished the tourney at 13 under par and collected a cheque for $16,000 for the win.

The win comes one week after Speirs endured a wild weekend at the CanTour’s Victoria stop where he opened with rounds of 67 and 66 but closed with a 71 and a 76 to wind up in a tie for 37th.

Ben Fox finished in fourth place at (71-69-70-68) 278 while fellow American John Ellis was one stroke back in fifth. Ellis was a sentimental favourite for many local golf fans at the GVCC in the wake of the tragic death of South Surrey teen Patrick Dooley. The Elgin Park student caddied for the American golfer when he placed fourth at Hazelmere last year but when the teen passed away from viral encephalitis in February, Ellis welcomed Patrick’s father Stephen as his caddy for this year’s event.

Canadian Derek Gillespie fired a course-record 62 on Saturday but was unable to replicate the magic on Sunday where he shot a 77 to finish tied for ninth overall at (72-70-62-77) 281.

Defending champion James Lepp of Abbotsford was part of a four-way tie for first after the opening round only to wind up in a tie for 17th at (67-71-72-74) 284.

Hazelmere teaching pro Philip Jonas was consistent all weekend with rounds of 71-73-71-71 to finish in a tie for 24th.

Playing in just his second CanTour event, North Delta’s Mark Kitts missed the cut after opening rounds of 74 and 73. Things didn’t go any better for Guildford Golf and Country Club head pro Dan Swanson who also missed the cut with scores of 76 and 74.

Hazelmere club member Shane Dent posted the best score of any amateur in the tourney with rounds of 78 and 77 but it was not enough to make the cut.

- Meanwhile in Vernon, Surrey’s Elaine Blatchford placed fourth overall at the 2008 B.C. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship.

Port Alberni’s Jackie Little took top honours when she was the only golfer to break par at the event held at Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club.
