British Columbia won the interprovincial team title and Surrey’s Lauren Kim tied for third at the 108th Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship at Westmount Golf & Country Club in Kitchener, Ont.
The B.C. team of Leah John of Vancouver, Victoria Liu of Vancouver and Ha Young Chang of Surrey beat Quebec by five shots in the 36-hole team competition. It was British Columbia’s first interprovincial team title since 2018 and the 21st since the competition began in 1947.
Kim, a 16-year-old member of Golf Canada’s national junior team who is heading into Grade 12 at Earl Marriott Secondary, closed with a two-under 71 to finish the 72-hole championship at even par. That was five shots behind winner Monet Chun of Richmond Hill, Ont.
Other British Columbians who finished inside the top 20 included Victoria Liu (T12), Leah John (T16), Tina Jiang of Langley (T16), Angela Arora of Surrey (T16) and Yeji Kwon of Port Coquitlam (T20).
