Sarnia, ON – Round two of the 33rd Ontario Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship took place earlier today at Sarnia Golf and Curling Club. All 144 players took to the course and battled to make the cut.
Heading into the final round of the 2025 Ontario Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship, Nate Lockey and Cam Burke are tied atop the leaderboard at 6-under. Lockey surged with a 4-under-par (68) in round two, setting himself up for a potential breakthrough win, while Burke, the defending 2024 Men’s Mid-Amateur champion, fired the lowest round of the day at 7-under-par (65), as he looks to become the back-to-back champion.
Just one shot off the lead are Stephen Brown (Sarnia Golf & Curling Club) and Russell Bowie (Brampton Golf Club). Brown, playing on home soil, has delivered steady rounds and will look to lean on his local knowledge in the final stretch. Bowie, who opened with a stellar 7-under par (65), remains firmly in contention and continues to be one of the most consistent performers at the Men’s Mid-Amateur, still seeking his first title.
Two strokes back at 4-under are Charles Fitzsimmons (Summit Golf & Country Club), Ryan Tsang (Cedar Brae Golf Club), and Derek Dalziel (The Oaks Golf & Country Club). Fitzsimmons, the 2019 Ontario Men’s Mid-Amateur champion and 2022 Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur champion, brings a wealth of experience and success. He will be looking to add to his well-respected resume in the final round. Tsang, the 2020 Ontario Mid-Amateur champion, is also well-positioned to make a charge toward a second title. Both he and Derek Dalziel have recorded back-to-back rounds of 70 and will need to go low on Wednesday to close the gap—Dalziel also currently leads the Mid-Master category.
The third and final round of the Ontario Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship will begin at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow (Wednesday, June 18) off both the 1st and 10th tees, as players look to make a push for the championship.
