“This win feels really good,” says Lindbjerg. “It’s very tough to defend and this course was a real challenge. You really have to manage this course - you don’t just bang the driver every hole. I stayed calm and played well with the help of a great caddie.”

With his win today, Lindbjerg will captain the B.C. team to the Canadian Senior Men’s Championship at Gorge Vale Golf Club in Victoria, B.C. The team representing B.C. for the inter-provincial championship will be Lindbjerg, Wilms, Berry and Gallacher.

In the Super Senior division, Bill Wilms of Delta, B.C. repeated for the title at 5-over par 221. Ron Petersen of Coquitlam, B.C. finished in second at 14-over par 230 followed by local favourite, John Yasinchuk of Terrace, B.C. at 22-over par 238.

The play of the day went to Patrick Kelly of Vancouver, B.C. who carded an albatross on the par 5 hole #6.
