The Team Ontario Boys added another win to their stacked 2025 resume by taking home the 61st Williamson Cup, held Tuesday, August 5th at Club Laval-sur-le-Lac in Quebec.
This historic junior event brought together ten associations from across Canada and the United States for a one-day, 36-hole test of team and individual play. Each four-player team competed with their best three scores per round counting toward the overall total.
Represented associations included:
- Golf Ontario
- Golf Québec
- Golf Association of Philadelphia
- Maryland State Golf Association
- Western Pennsylvania Golf Association
- Rochester District Golf Association
- Metropolitan Golf Association
- Buffalo District Golf Association
- Syracuse District Golf Association
Team Ontario edged out the host team, Golf Québec, by just one stroke, finishing with a team score of +9 (435). The razor-thin margin proved the strength of Ontario’s depth and composure, especially in Round 2, where they improved on their opening score by five strokes (220 → 215).
“I would say as a whole that we had a very strong team this year, said Alex Taylor, Golf Ontario’s Manager of Junior Performance. “They all work very hard and I’m happy that they were able to cap off their Team Ontario experience with a win.”
Leading the way individually was Team Ontario’s Spencer Shropshire, who carded a tournament-best 66 in the second round to finish at -4 (72-66–138), four strokes clear of the next closest competitor. His final round surge not only secured him the individual championship, but was also crucial in Golf Ontario’s team victory.
Shropshire is no stranger to the winner’s circle, having recently captured the 2025 Ontario Junior Boys’ Championship where he tied the course record at Lindsay Golf and Curling Club. His standout season continues to turn heads on both the provincial and national stages.
It’s been a pleasure to see the season Spencer’s had,” said Taylor. “As a first-year team member, it’s been great to get to know the golfer he is and watch his hard work pay off. He has a bright future, and the team is excited for him.”
Ontario’s full boys team delivered when it mattered most. “I believe the biggest factor is that the boys have been teammates for a few years and have built incredible chemistry together,” Taylor added. “They’re all competitive with each other, and I think that pushes them to work even harder.”
The win in Quebec is the latest in what has become a dominant 2025 campaign for the Team Ontario Boys, one that continues to be defined by cohesion, clutch play, and a deep pool of rising talent.
