The Briars Golf Club HOSTS

THE GTA AM TOUR FOR THE FIRST TIME

Sutton ON (September 16, 2015) - Wednesday witnessed the second event of the week and the fourth event of the BMO World Elite Fall Swing . The event was played at a fantastic new addition to the Tour schedule, The Briars Golf Club . The Briars is the epitome of old-style charm, where a player can enjoy a course that was designed by not one, but two, Canadian golf course design legends, Stanley Thompson, and Robbie Robinson. Stanley Thompson was responsible for the design of the original nine holes in 1922. Subsequently, in 1971, Robbie Robinson put his finishing touches on a wonderful and classic layout to create a seamless routing that would delight the members of the GTA AM Tour who wanted to improve their standings in the BMO World Elite Fall Swing .

In the Championship Flight, Michael Alderman (Georgetown, ON) would return to form this week, after last winning on Tour back in mid-June. During that mid-June run, Michael racked up wins at three of six events. This week, he shot a round of 74 that would best the field by three. To

determine second and third places, card matching was required, as two players would enter the clubhouse with matching rounds of 77: Tour sponsor and player Joshua Kingsmill (Toronto, ON), and Tour veteran John Harrington (Ajax, ON). When matching the inward nine, the results would see Joshua take home second place while John went home with third . P.S. Nice round Matthew..!! In the Championship Flight's season-long Myrtle Beach Order of Merit , with his win Michael Alderman jumps back into top spot, where he has spent most of the season. Michael now has 735.0 points. Slipping down one spot, to second, Ryan Taylor has 708.3 points and, in third, John Harrington sits with 677.5 points.

In the A-Flight, fresh off a second place finish last week, Tour rookie, Preet Sandhu (Caledon, ON) would find success this week, winning his first Tour event by shooting a great round of 77. Preet would finish his day with four birdies, seven pars, four bogies and three doubles and would be all smiles

when receiving his trophy and prize. To determine second and third places, card matching was required, as two players would enter the clubhouse with matching rounds of 78: Mike Hubbs (Toronto, ON) and Robin Hutchins (Toronto, ON). The result of matching the back nine scores would see Mike take home second place prizing while Robin finished in third. The A-Flight's Myrtle Beach Order of Merit sees Mike Hubbs remain in top spot, extending his lead with a total of 781.7 points. Shavi Kahlon remains in second spot, with 595.0 points and, holding on to third spot, Robin Hutchins has 567.5 points.

In the B-Flight, Tour rookie, Chis Bromell (Toronto, ON) would celebrate his first Tour victory this week, when he finished his day with a round of 78 that would best the field by one. Chris would shoot his best round of the season, on Tour, as he would finish his day with one birdie, eleven pars,

four bogies, and two doubles. Alone, in second, Tom Lumsden (Toronto, ON) would post an excellent score of 79, marking his first top-three finish of the season. Card matching was required to determine the third and final place as two players, Mike DiFlorio (Bayville, ON) and Ian Ervine (Toronto, ON) found themselves tied with matching scores of 82.

In the C-Flight, and for the second time this week, a playoff was required to determine the winner, as Robert Perri (Toronto, ON) and Sandy Zajac (Etobicoke, ON) found themselves tied with rounds of 93. The sudden death playoff would head to the par four 18^th hole where it would only take

one hole to decide a winner providing Sandy with her second win of the 2015 season. Card matching was required to determine third place as two players, Franco Aceto (Woodbridge, ON) and John Harris (Toronto, ON) found themselves tied with matching scores of 88.
