FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hamilton ON - King's Forest Golf Club in Hamilton ON was the site of GHT Event #3 on Monday June 9 and Conor O'Shea (Piper's Heath) took advantage of ideal scoring conditions. With afternoon rain on Sunday and very little wind throughout the day on Monday it made for slightly easier course conditions then seen in the past.
O'Shea has an aggressive style of game and it showed as he made 7 birdies and 4 bogies en route to a round of three under par 69. He steadied the ship with three straight birdies on holes 8-9-10 to get to 4 under par for his round. Back to back bogies on the tough 12th and 13th holes dropped him to 2 under par heading into the home stretch. A birdie on the par 5 fifteenth hole and 3 closing pars helped to seal the win for O'Shea...

Jim Kenesky (Golf Genius Software) dug into the archives to recall a round from 1998 and used a similar game plan to shoot a 2 under par 70 and claim second spot alone. "I shot 68 here in a 1998 highschool golf tournament and recalled many of my plays from that day to navigate the course today." Kenesky stated. Kenesky made his mark on the par 5's, playing them 5 under par with an eagle on the fifteenth. On the par 5 finishing hole Kenesky had 20 feet for a second eagle and a tie for the lead, but missed and settled for a birdie 4 and the solo runner up finish.
Rounding out the top 5 were 2013 John H. Davis Cup Champion Ed Maunder (Deerfield GC) with a one under par 71, Past King's Forest winner Alf Callowhill (Clublink Academy at Glen Abbey) 73, Reg Millage (GAO) and Danny King (Performance Centre at Magna) came in with rounds of 76.
