LeMay advances to final round, Grizzlies narrowly miss cut at University/College Championship

The Georgian Grizzlies Men's Golf team missed out on today's final round at the University/College Championship by a razor thin margin, finishing just one spot outside of the top ten.

Competing against many of Canada's strongest colleges and universities, many of whom are already well into their seasons, the Grizzlies three day score of 919 (307, 307, 305) narrowly missed the cut. A tough back-nine cost Georgian a spot in today's final round, finishing the day two strokes behind the ninth place University of Alberta and University of Toronto.

Heading down the stretch with an eleven-stroke cushion over Alberta, a rough final few holes came back to hurt Georgian. The team shot a combined 157 (+13) on the back nine.

CCAA National Bronze Medalist Matt Lemay, who will be competing in the U.S. Sectional Open event next week, did advance to today's final round. The Golf Management major currently sits tied for tenth (+2), just four strokes back of fourth. Lemay joins Niagara's Josiah Dixon as the lone collegiate players to finish within fifteen strokes of the leader through Thursday's play.

The competition opened with 20 men's teams and 12 women's teams from across the nation vying for team and individual honours. With the conclusion of the third round, the field has now been reduced to the top 10 men's teams and the top six women's teams, in addition to any individuals within fifteen shots of the lead.

The final round of competition will see both the men's and women's sides begin the day at 7:30 a.m. off split tees.  Lemay will tee off at 8:20am.
