Fuchs Captures Mid-Amateur Title
The Ontario Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship, open to players aged 25 and older, concluded Wednesday with Kelsey Fuchs earning her first provincial title. Fuchs posted a three-round total of 224 (+8), highlighted by a bounce-back 70 in Round 2, the lowest round of the Mid-Amateur championship. She followed it with a composed 75 on Wednesday to finish ten shots ahead of the field.
Alexandra Taylor, the 2024 champion, finished runner-up at 234 (+18), while Vicki Appleton secured third place with 236 (+20).
“This win means a lot. I worked a lot on my game over the last couple of years and it just reaffirms what I have been doing—and I feel pretty special,” said Fuchs following her victory.
McGrath Claims Women’s Amateur Title
The Women’s Amateur Championship concluded Thursday after 72 holes of stroke play, with Lindsay McGrath emerging as the 2025 champion. McGrath finished with a total score of 282 (-6), capping off a steady and confident performance across four rounds.
McGrath opened with a 72 in Round 1, followed by a 69 in Round 2 to move into a strong position heading into the weekend. She kept her momentum with a 70 in Round 3, then sealed the win with a final-round score of 71, finishing just one stroke ahead of 2024 champion Nobelle Park.
Park finished second at 283 (-5) after a hard-fought final round, while Julia Alexander-Carew rounded out the top three at 284(-4).
