IPGA Event Results from The Harvest

bannerTyler McGhie of the Okanagan Golf Club in Kelowna fired a one-under par score of 71 to clip Scott Shepherd by one shot and win the first individual stroke play event on the 2010 Callaway Golf IPGA Tour.

The Callaway Interior Tour made their second stop of the 2010 season on Monday May 3rd at the Harvest Golf Club in Kelowna. Usually known for its great spring weather Kelowna was hit with unseasonably cold temperatures caused by blustery winds off of Okanagan Lake that reeked havoc with the 44 professionals that participated.

Tyler McGhie, an assistant professional from the Okanagan Golf Club seemed unfazed by the conditions clinching his first tour win carding a score of 71, 1 under par. McGhie, recently moved to British Columbiafrom his native Ontario for the 2010 season and had already made a splash by placing second at the two man event in Osoyoos on April 12th. Harvest Head Professional Chad Scott shot a respectable 75 in the tough conditions to tie for 7th with others including Harvest Assistant Matt Greenway.

Special thanks go to host professionals Gilles Dufort and Chad Scott for opening up their course for the day’s event. The next tour event is the ever popular Callaway Interior Tour Pro Am, hosted by Fairview Mountain Golf Club in Oliver May 10th. To learn more about the Interior PGA Tour, visit their website here.
