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.

Canada's Nick Taylor Reaches Final of US Public Links Final
Norman, Okla. – Nick Taylor, 21, of Canada and Brad Benjamin, 22, of Rockford, Ill. won their semifinal matches on Friday and will meet in the scheduled 36-hole final on Saturday at the 2009 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship being conducted at the 7,289-yard, par-71 Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club.
Nick Taylor is looking to become the first Canadian to win the U.S. Amateur Public Links.
Taylor defeated Phillip Bryan, 23, of Norman, Okla., 3 and 2, in the first semifinal. Benjamin birdied the 18th hole to defeat Brandon Crick, 21, of McCook, Neb., 1 up, in the second semifinal.
Taylor, who recently tied for 36th and was the low amateur at the 2009 U.S. Open at Bethpage State Park, arrived in Norman as one of the pre-championship players to watch, fresh off a victory at the Sahalee Players Championship – a prestigious amateur event held at the site of the 2010 U.S. Senior Open, Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Wash. Taylor will be a senior at the University of Washington.
“To make it to the final to any match play tournament, it's so difficult,” said Taylor. “You've got to be lucky a little bit and you’ve got to play well too. It’s going to be exciting tomorrow and I'm going to be pumped to play.”
In his match against Bryan - the assistant golf coach at the University of Oklahoma and a former four-year member of the team - Taylor was seemingly up against more than just an opponent. The largest crowds of the championship filled the fairways and ringed the green around the Taylor-Bryan match, cheering Bryan throughout. Though Bryan had his chances on a golf course he has played an estimated 300-400 times, it was the combination of a cool putter and consistently steady play from Taylor that ended his hopes of a hometown victory.
Taylor took advantage of a birdie miss by Bryan on the par-5 13th hole to record a birdie of his own and grab a 4-up lead with five holes to play. With the match on the line, Bryan hit a utility club to 10 feet on the 281-yard, par-3 15th hole, made the putt for birdie and extended the match. On the 16th hole, Taylor closed out Bryan with a par to win, 3 and 2.
“I'm having fun,” said Taylor. “At the end of the day, you're having fun but you're also just drained, so it's kind of hard to show how much fun you're having.”
Taylor has still not played in a match that has been extended to the 18th hole this week. He was the stroke-play medalist, recording a 6-under-par 136, four shots better than his nearest competitor. The last medalist to win the U.S. Amateur Public Links was D.J. Trahan in 2000, at Heron Lakes Golf Course, in Portland, Ore.
Taylor defeated Wesley Bryan, 19, of Chapin, S.C., 2 and 1, in Friday morning’s quarterfinal round.
Brad Benjamin is looking to become the second left-hander to win the U.S. Amateur Public Links.
Meanwhile, Benjamin lived to see another day when he won the final two holes of his semifinal match to sneak past Crick, 1 up. Trailing one down on the par-4, 17th, Benjamin stayed alive in the match by curling in a speedy 5-foot putt for par. When Crick lipped out his par attempt from 4-feet, the match was all square.
The recent Memphis graduate laid-up on the 584-yard par-5 18th, and had 145 yards left for his third shot. He hit a 9-iron to about 5-feet and made the birdie putt to win the match.
“He hit a great shot in there, you have to give him a lot of credit,” said Crick. “Brad played really well, it was a battle all the way to the end.”
Benjamin has flown under the radar for much of the week, but was excited and happy to be getting a chance to take on one of the hottest amateurs in the country, and the player who has garnered most of the media attention here in Norman.
“I really like this course. It suits my eye well, and I have a lot of good visuals out there,” said Benjamin, who earned an exemption into the 2009 U.S. Amateur Championship at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Okla., in August. “But if you change your game plan based on who your opponent is, you probably won’t get the results you’re looking for. So, I’m just going to go out tomorrow, and see what happens. Stick to my game.”
Benjamin is looking to become just the second left-handed player to win the U.S. Amateur Public Links, and the first since Ralph Howe III did it, in 1988 at Jackson Hole G & TC, in Jackson, Wyo. Although Benjamin swings left-handed, he putts right-handed.
Benjamin defeated LSU’s Sang Yi of Carrollton, Texas, 5 and 3, in Friday morning’s quarterfinal round.
The U.S. Amateur Public Links, established in 1922 for bona fide public course players, is one of 13 national championships conducted annually by the United States Golf Association, 10 of which are strictly for amateurs.

Oakville, Ont. (RCGA) – Top junior golfers from Canada, Mexico, Guatemala and Puerto Rico will gather at Capilano Golf & Country Club in West Vancouver, B.C. from April 13-15, as the Royal Canadian Golf Association (RCGA) plays host to the Zone Qualifier for the World Junior Golf Team Championship (WJGTC).
The four-player teams will compete over 54-holes with the top two teams advancing to the World Junior Golf Team Championship, which takes place June 16-19 in Japan.
This year’s Canadian contingent consists of; London, Ont. native and reigning Canadian Junior Boys and Canadian Juvenile Champion, Mitch Sutton, Toronto natives Richard Jung and Albin Choi, as well as Julien Goulet of St-Roch de L'Achigan, Que. 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.”
Henry Brunton, Canadian PGA master professional and men’s head coach for Team Canada will accompany the team.

Post-round results for the 2009 Zone Qualifier for the World Junior Golf Team Championship can be found on the Internet at www.rcga.org.

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.

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.

Nick Taylor sets Washington University record for medalist honors
Huskies Run Away With Duck Invite Title
EUGENE, Ore. -- Washington's Nick Taylor, of Abbotsford, B.C., is having a record-setting season. The UW junior shot a 4-under 68 during the final round of the Oregon Duck Invitational to capture his third medalist honor of the 2008-09 season, besting the 78-player field on Tuesday.

Second place was host Oregon, which was 10-over for the tournament.
Other Huskies finishing in the top 10 were Richard Lee and Darren Wallace. Lee, who started the day in 19th place, shot a 5-under 67 en route to third place, earning his seventh top-10 finish in eight collegiate tournaments this season. Wallace earned his second consecutive top-10 finish.
