Tyson Shelley won’t forget this round.
He shot an 8-under-62 at Capilano Golf and Country Club, Canada. This tied a course record for a competitive golf course. He won the 56th Pacific Coast Amateur in a playoff on Friday.
Shelley won the playoff after Jack Buchanan and Shelley both made par on the hole. Buchanan, however, missed the green on the second par-5 hole and scrambled to get par, while Shelley was able to find the putting surface with two shots, and she got the birdie.
Shelley, told Amateur Golf that “everything just clicked” when she was on the course. “I was confident that I could hit the fairways off the tee and I was able execute this.” My putter was dialed in this week once I had the ball into play. I was able hit some great putts and was lucky enough to have a few long putts fall.
After four rounds of strokeplay, the duo were tied at 13-under.
Shelley said to Amateur Golf , “It’s a big deal for me and my self-confidence.” “Especially this final round. I realized that a tournament doesn’t end until the final round. “I think that this victory has given me a lot of confidence, and I can compete at high levels anywhere.”
Chuan-Tai Lin finished in T-3 with Neal Shipley, Jeffrey Guan and all three of them at 11 under.
