All-Campbell final at Junior Lobstick, P.A.’s Hurd in 1st flight finals

Aug 20, 2015 | 3:55 PM

It will be a battle of the Campbell’s on Friday to decide the victor at the 2015 Pepsi Junior Lobstick at the Waskesiu Golf Course.

Andrew Campbell, who golfs out of Waskesiu, will tee off against the top-ranked Ty Campbell on Friday at 9 a.m. to decide the winner of the tournament’s Championship Flight.

Although they aren’t related, they’re familiar with each other through other tournaments they’ve played together.

“Ty’s a great player, it will probably be a tight match,” said Andrew. “It will be fun.

“I think I can do well, I’m pretty confident going in.”                         

Andrew played even-par golf on Thursday to beat Saskatoon’s Jordan Bean, saying the match wasn’t nearly “as stressful” as Wednesday’s game.

On Wednesday, Andrew finished -1 to beat the defending Lobstick champion Roman Timmerman of Saskatoon.

“I was hitting a lot of wild tee shots, but my iron game was pretty solid. I ended up making a few birdies and he got a little rattled from that,” said Andrew on his win over Timmerman. “It was a good match.”

That came after what Andrew considers a slow start. He shot a 74 in the qualifying match on Monday to give him a 10th overall rank, and then managed to beat Connor Scissons on Tuesday despite not having his best game.

“I wasn’t playing too good, but I started heating up [Wednesday],” said Andrew. “Think I was -1 yesterday and was even today. I’m playing good and I’m feeling pretty confident.”

Prince Albert golfers still have dogs in the fight as well. Zach Hurd is moving on to the finals in the First Flight, after beating Noah Bankowski of Saskatoon. Hurd will face Tayden Wallin of Humboldt in the finals on Friday.

Kyle Schneider, also from P.A., advanced to the First Round Consolation finals after beating fellow Prince Albertan Mikhail Tait. Schneider will tee off against Saskatoon’s Michael Spafford on Friday morning to decide the bracket.
