The UBCO men\u2019s golf team is the best university team in Canada.<\/p>\n
\u200bThe UBCO Heat dominated the field of play at the 2026 Canadian University\/College Championship at Golf La Tempete in L\u00e9vis, Quebec.<\/p>\n
\u200bRookie Oakley Mayner led UBCO to victory, shooting 19 under par across three rounds of golf. He finished 10 shots ahead of the Montreal Carabins, who finished the tournament in second place.<\/p>\n
\u200b\u201dIt\u2019s hard to put into words what this means to our team,\u201d said Heat head coach Clay Stothers following the victory. I\u2019m just so happy for the boys, and I\u2019m grateful for them believing in this program when we have come from nowhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u200bMayner is from Kelowna and had an outstanding week for the Heat.<\/p>\n
\u200bThe golfer opened with a four-under par 68 on Tuesday, followed by a five-under par 67 in round two on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u200bUBCO says Mayner capped his week with a one-over par 73 in round three to finish at eight-under par and win the individual silver medal while also claiming All-Canadian honours.<\/p>\n
\u200b\u201dOakley was amazing all week. He went bogey-free over the first two rounds and just couldn\u2019t miss. It was fun to witness, and he has an extremely bright future in this sport,\u201d said Stothers.<\/p>\n
Second-year Heat golfer Ryan Vest, from Vernon, finished three under par in his first Canadian University\/College Championship with UBCO.<\/p>\n
\u200bThe Heat\u2019s national win has earned the team an exemption into the 2026 Canadian Collegiate Invitationals. The men\u2019s tournament will take place Sept. 12-15 at \u00d6viinbyrd in MacTier, Ontario.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UBC Okanagan men\u2019s golf team wins national title Published 12:00 pm Saturday, June 20, 2026 The UBCO men\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":750191,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,79004,82],"class_list":["post-750190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-okanagan","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=750190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750190\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/750191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=750190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=750190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=750190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
