Team Ontario claimed victory at the 2025 Can-Am Matches, the annual showdown between Ontario’s top junior golfers and their South Carolina counterparts, on Sunday at Wachesaw Plantation Club.
Ontario secured a 39-33 win, marking their first victory since 2019 and only the fifth in the event’s 25-year history.
“This win wasn’t easy, and I’m incredibly proud of how the team battled through adversity to earn it,” said Team Ontario Head Coach Reggie Millage. “We’ve been saying all off-season that this is one of the strongest groups we’ve ever brought to these matches, and I’m so glad they got rewarded with a win.
“I’m especially happy for the graduating seniors, who returned to beautiful Wachesaw Plantation one more time and will now have their names engraved on a very cool trophy.”
The Ontario squad—nine junior boys and nine junior girls—competed in 24 matches over the weekend, playing: eight Four-Ball Matches Saturday and 16 Singles Matches Sunday.
