Canadian A.J. Ewart captures first pro win at Elk Ridge Saskatchewan Open
It was a weekend that Canadian A.J. Ewart won’t soon forget.
The Coquitlam, B.C. native claimed his first professional golf tournament win on Sunday after taking top prize at the 2024 Elk Ridge Saskatchewan Open, shooting 17-under-par (263). As part of the win, he also took home $40,500 as his share of the $225,000 total purse.
The 25-year-old began and ended the tournament at the top of the leaderboard after finishing the first round on Thursday in the lead. After 36 holes, Ewart found himself in a four-way tie for first before reclaiming the lead by a single stroke after round three on Saturday.
With four holes to go on Sunday afternoon, Ewart once again was part of a four-way tie for the lead, but a birdie on the 16th hole put him back in front. With bogeys from Taiwan’s Chuan-Tai Lin and American Bryce Lewis, Ewart was able to secure the victory with a par on the 18th hole.
