111th Canadian Women\u2019s Amateur Championship Preview <\/p>\n

ROTHESAY, N.B. \u2014 July 21, 2025
A century-old tradition continues this week as 156 of the world\u2019s best female amateur golfers arrive at The Riverside Country Club for the 111th playing of the Canadian Women\u2019s Amateur Championship, presented by BDO. The tournament begins Tuesday, July 22, with four rounds of stroke play concluding Friday, July 25.<\/p>\n

The event is among the oldest and most prestigious women\u2019s amateur championships in the world. First played in 1901 at Royal Montreal Golf Club with just three competitors, it now draws a global field and awards its champion the coveted Duchess of Connaught Gold Cup,\u00a0a trophy steeped in history and meaning.<\/p>\n

A World-Class Field<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s field includes 41 players ranked inside the top 500 of the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR), with ten in the top 100. Representing nine Canadian provinces and eight international countries, the championship boasts both national depth and global reach.<\/p>\n

Leading the Way for Team Canada:Lauren Kim (Surrey, B.C.) \u2014 2023 champion, WAGR No. 18Vanessa Borovilos (Etobicoke, Ont.) \u2014 WAGR No. 49Shauna Liu (Maple, Ont.) \u2014 Canadian Junior Girls\u2019 Champion, WAGR No. 109Katie Cranston, Tillie Claggett, Clara Ding \u2014 All ranked inside WAGR top 200<\/p>\n

Nine more Team Canada players join the field, including 2021 champion Lauren Zaretsky (Thornhill, Ont.).<\/p>\n

The field also includes recent Provincial Amateur champions from across Canada, adding further depth and local pride.<\/p>\n

Format & Inter-Provincial Pride<\/p>\n

The championship follows a 72-hole stroke play format, with a cut to the low 70 and ties after 36 holes. The first two rounds also determine the winner of the Inter-Provincial Team Championship. Each province fields a three-player squad, and the two lowest daily scores count toward the team total.<\/p>\n

Team Ontario is aiming for a third consecutive title after defeating Alberta and British Columbia by three shots in 2024.<\/p>\n

A Storied Venue: Riverside Country Club<\/p>\n

Founded in 1897, Riverside Country Club is a Donald Ross-designed gem nestled along the Kennebecasis River. Known for its strategic green complexes and timeless layout, the private club offers a picturesque and challenging test for Canada\u2019s top female amateurs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are incredibly proud to welcome such an elite field to Riverside,\u201d said Jason Porter, General Manager. \u201cThis championship celebrates not just competition, but the legacy of women\u2019s golf in Canada. Our entire community is ready to deliver a memorable experience for all involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

History, Legacy, and Opportunity<\/p>\n

Legends like Marlene Streit (11-time champion), Lisa Meldrum (three-time consecutive winner), and Mary Ann Hayward (oldest winner at age 44) have all left their mark on this championship. In recent years, future LPGA stars including Ariya Jutanugarn, Brooke Henderson, and Jennifer Kupcho have emerged as Canadian Women\u2019s Amateur winners.<\/p>\n
