The Copa de las Americas is a biennial amateur team competition for countries in North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean. There are three 72-hole competitions – men’s, women’s and overall – with 18 holes played on each of the four days.
Canada has enjoyed tremendous success at the Copa de las Americas since the event’s inception in 2003. Canada won the overall team championship in 2003 and 2005, the men’s team titles in 2003 and 2005 as well as the women’s title in 2003.
Canada also played host to the 2007 Copa de las Americas at Beacon Hall Golf Club in Aurora, Ont., where the team of Keven Fortin-Simard of Roberval, Que., Graham Hill of Bright’s Grove, Ont., Laura Matthews of Essex, Ont. and Stephanie Sherlock finished third overall. The men’s team finished fourth while the women’s squad finished second.
Accompanying the four-member team to Argentina as Team Canada’s Co-Captains are men’s head coach, Henry Brunton, and women’s head coach, Derek Ingram.
The venues for the 2010 Copa de las Americas – Buenos Aires Golf Club and Olivos Golf Club – are the same two golf courses that will be used during the 2010 World Amateur Team Championships, scheduled to be played in October.
Originally scheduled to be contested in 2009, the Copa de las Americas were rescheduled to 2010 due to the troubled world economy.
Matt Hill, 21, captured eight individual NCAA wins, including six in-a-row as a member of the North Carolina State Wolfpack golf team. He won his regional championship, conference (ACC) championship and the NCAA individual title. For his efforts, Hill was awarded with the Jack Nicklaus award as the NCAA’s top golfer. Hill was also a member of Canada’s winning Four Nations Cup team, won the Ontario Men’s Amateur Championship, tied for third at the Canadian Men's Amateur Championship and made the cut at the PGA TOUR’s AT&T National (T70).
Nick Taylor, 21, finished first at the 2009 U.S. Open Sectional Qualifier in Roslyn, WA and went on to capture the Low Amateur Medal at the U.S. Open held at Bethpage State Park - Black Course after finishing tied for 36th. He also won the Sahalee Players Championship, was a member of Canada’s champion Four Nations Cup team, was runner-up at the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship and managed a tie for third at the Canadian Men's Amateur Championship.
The University of Washington Husky also tallied three individual victories (Hawai’i-Hilo Intercollegiate, Oregon Duck Invitational, and U.S. Intercollegiate) and a tie for medalist honours at the CordeValle Collegiate. He finished second at the NCAA Regional Championship and the Pac-10 Championship, tied for ninth at the NCAA Championship and was named Pac-10 Player of the Year as well as a semi-finalist for the prestigious Ben Hogan Award. He also was presented with the Mark H McCormack Medal which recognizes the top-ranked golfer in the R&A’s World Amateur Golf Ranking at the end of each amateur season and following the European and U.S. Amateur Championships.
Jennifer Kirby, 18, claimed a slew of titles across Canada in 2009 including the Royale Cup Canadian Junior Girls Championship, the Royale Cup Canadian Women's Amateur Championship, the Ontario Women’s Amateur Championship, the Ontario Junior Girls Championship, the 2009 CN Future Links Pacific Championship and the Toronto Star Women's Amateur Championship. This fall, she also joined the University of Alabama Crimson Tide golf team as a freshman.

Nick Taylor named to B.C. Willingdon Cup team
RICHMOND, BC - George Faithfull, president of the British Columbia Golf Association (BCGA), announced today that Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C. has been named to the B.C. Willingdon Cup team.
Taylor, the world’s top ranked amateur in the R&A amateur rankings, has been having a stellar year. At the University of Washington, he won a school record four tournaments and became just the fourth Husky to be named a first-team all-American. He topped it all off by making his second appearance at the 109th US Open and emerging as the low amateur after scoring a 65 in the second round. The 65 featured seven birdies and tied for second-lowest round of the Open. Last week, Taylor captured the title at the 2009 Sahalee Players Championship.
“British Columbia has never had a golfer ranked number one in the world,” says Faithfull. “We recognize that it’s in Nick’s best interest that he continues to play in events that ensure he maintains that ranking over the course of the summer. Regrettably, this means he needed to accept the exemption into the U.S. Public Links that runs the same week as the B.C. Amateur”
Traditionally, the BCGA has picked the Willingdon Cup team based on the top four finishers at the B.C. Amateur. However, the BCGA by-laws do not specify that the team must be picked in this fashion and the BCGA player development committee had already been evaluating the criteria for Willingdon Cup team selection.
“Clearly B.C. needs to be represented by its best player,” says Faithfull. “Nick has demonstrated that he has a true appreciation of the traditions and history of the game and a true appreciation of the significance of the Willingdon Cup competition. It would be a shame if the outstanding amateur career he is having did not include an appearance on the B.C. Willingdon Cup team.”
The Willingdon Cup is an annual amateur golf team competition among Canada's provinces.
The Governor General of Canada, Lord Willingdon, donated the cup to the Royal Canadian Golf Association in 1927, for annual rivalry among men's amateur teams from the provinces of Canada. It has been played annually ever since, except for 1940-1945, when it was cancelled because of World War II. Each province selects a four-man team of its best players, and competition is held over two rounds, in conjunction with the Canadian Amateur Championship, usually in August. Until 1974, all four scores each day counted, and since that year, the best three of four count, towards the team total. This year's Willingdon Cup competition is August 10 - 11, 2009 at Club de golf Le Blainvillier in Blainville, Quebec.
The B.C. Amateur Championship is one of 13 provincial championships conducted annually by the BCGA. A full listing of players, the leaderboard , starting times and post-round results can be found on the BCGA website at www.bcga.org.

Burton Captures Second PNGA Men's Master-40 Title
Chase, British Columbia – Bob Burton of Everett, Wash. secured his second PNGA Men’s Master – 40 Amateur Championship title today defeating Rob Whiton of Vancouver, B.C. 1 up at Talking Rock Resort and Quaaout in Chase, B.C.
Both players played solid golf the entire day with the match being all square or Burton holding a slim 1 up lead most of the day. The two came to the 17th hole all square at the short, 278 yard par-4. Whiton had the honor and hooked his drive into the left trees. Burton played it safe laying up in perfect position with a hybrid club. After Whiton was forced to punch out sideways, Burton nestled his pitch shot about 6-feet from the flag. Whiton was unable to save par and conceded the birdie to Burton as the two went to the 18th with Burton leading 1 up.
One of the Talking Rock’s toughest holes, both players hit their tee shots into the right fairway bunker leaving themselves with about 190 yard approach shots. Whiton played first and hit “one of the best 5-irons” he’s ever hit and put his ball on the back of the green with the tough front right hole location. Burton then came up short and left his shot in the greenside bunker. From there, Burton hit a real nice shot to leave himself with an 8-foot putt for par. Whiton’s long birdie putt just missed on the low side leaving Burton with an 8-footer for the win. Burton’s putt rolled true and found the back of the cup for the 1 up victory.
This win was Burton’s second PNGA Master-40 title, which he first won in 2006. Burton was also the 2006 PNGA Senior Player of the Year. To be eligible for the Pacific Northwest Men’s Master-40 Amateur Championship, contestants must have reached their 40th birthday by the first day of the competition and also carry a handicap index of 16.4 or less. The championship consists of 36 holes of stroke play qualifying to determine flights for the match play portion of the championship. The lowest 32 scorers from the qualifying rounds will advance to the Championship Flight, with each of the remaining flights being comprised of eight contestants. All matches are single-elimination and contested over 18 holes.

Nick Taylor leads Huskies to NCAA Championship with 2nd place finish
ALVATON, Ky. - Washington junior Nick Taylor, ranked No. 9, carded his second straight runner-up finish at an NCAA regional -- both are the best finishes in program history. Taylor shot a 67-70-76 213 to finish 3-under after three rounds. The Abbotsford, B.C. native took a three-stroke lead into the 13th hole before eventually falling behind North Carolina State's Matt Hill by a stroke.
"I started out playing good, but not spectacular," said Taylor, who current ranks ninth nationally as an individual. "But, fortunately I was able to take advantage of my birdie opportunities and I made a couple of long putts for par."

All four players play on Canada’s developmental golf team.
“We are proud to have these four young, talented golfers representing Canada,” said Doug Roxburgh, RCGA Director of High Performance Programs. “These young men have excelled in junior golf over the past few years and are all hungry to do their country proud.”

Meixner in-the-mix at Second Duramed Futures Tour event Richmond, B.C. native Kira Meixner travelled to Daytona Beach, FL. from April 3-5 to compete in her second Duramed Futures Tour event of the season, the iMpact Invitational held at the 6,464 yard LPGA International Golf Club.
Meixner started well, firing a 2-under par 70 to sit T2 when first round action concluded.
The Canadian rookie holed out from 138 yards with a three-quarter 7-iron on the ninth hole for eagle, which helped take the sting out of a round that had included a double-bogey on No. 3 and a bogey on No. 5. However, it was Meixner’s short game which played a large role in her auspicious start.
“I missed my first five greens and I was three over after five holes,” said Meixner, who played collegiately at Kent State University. “My short game held me together and there at the end, I felt like it was my chance to make a couple – to get a few shots back.”
She would go on to shoot 2-over 74 in the second round and 82 in the third-round to finish at +10, good enough for a T59th.
The event also featured Kelowna B.C.’s Samantha Richdale, who cracked her first top-10 of the season and now ranks 8th on the tour in average scoring (72.5) and 16th in earnings $2,915.
Montreal’s Lisa Meldrum, who T59 with Meixner, sits 12th on the tour’s money list with $4,011 in earnings.
Other Canadians on the Tour include Oakville, Ont.’s Jessica Shepley and Oshawa, Ont.’s Angela Buzminski.
