Martin tied for 14th after opening round at Canadian Mid-Amateurs

Aug 18, 2019 | 8:17 PM

OSOYOOS, B.C. – It wasn’t her best round of the season, but Becky Martin has put herself in contention after the opening round of the Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship.

Qualifying for the national event with her Alberta title last month, Martin shot a three-over, 76 on Sunday in her first round of play at the Osoyoos Golf Club.

Martin made par on 16 of her 18 holes on Sunday, however a double-bogey on number six and a bogey on her final hole dropped her five shots off the pace.

That’s put the Medicine Hat Golf & Country Club member into a tie for 14^th place on the leaderboard, trailing Vancouver’s Nonie Marler for top spot.

Martin will be looking for a stronger result this week in Osoyoos after missing the cut at the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship three weeks ago in Red Deer.
