Top Score Manitoba Men’s Amateur
Pine Ridge’s Tyler Mancini conquered the wind, rain and some early bad luck to post the best score mid-way through the first round of the Manitoba men’s amateur golf championship today at Links at the Lake.
Despite a double-bogey six at the second hole, Mancini shot a four-under-par 68 to lead the pack on Day 1 of the championship.
That’s three better than the next-best score posted, a one-under 71 from former two-time champ Garth Collings of Breezy Bend.
“I was two-over after two but I realized this is a marathon,” Mancini said after making seven birdies on a miserable day. “I’m proud of myself for staying with it.”
Mancini’s second shot at the par-4 second went out of bounds after he bladed a sand wedge from a greenside bunker.
Also in the hunt in the early going is former four-time champion Todd Fanning of Niakwa, who shot even-par 72, the same as Breezy Bend’s Brad DePape and Glendale’s Michael Goldberg. Defending champ Brad Kirton of Pine Ridge was in at 73.
