Seventeen PGA of Manitoba professionals and fifty-one juniors came together yesterday for a day filled with mentorship, learning, competition, and fun at the Ping Pro Junior Tournament, hosted at The Players Course.

Pinegrove Country Club is difficult. So difficult, in fact, that the course-record of 64 has held up since Tommy Aaron shot the number on his way to a 1969 Canadian Open victory. The winning score at the 103rd PGA Championship of Canada – 15-under - came as a shock to many. But for those who witnessed Craig Stefureak plot his way around the course the past three days, the score sounds about right.

Jumping out of the gate with five birdies in his first seven holes on Wednesday morning, Craig Stefureak, a teaching professional at The Bunker in Ottawa, ON, backed up a first-round 67 with a 66 to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the PGA Championship of Canada.
