William Buhl, a rising senior at the University of Arkansas, captured the 115th Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship by eight strokes on Thursday at Glen Arbour Golf Course in Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia.
Buhl, representing his birth country of Norway, shot par on the first 17 holes, then birdied No. 18 to complete the 6,692-yard par 70 course in the 60s in all four rounds. Buhl took a five-stroke lead into the final round by shooting 69-68-67 through Wednesday.
“It probably looks boring on the scorecard, but I had to grind a little bit for those pars,” Buhl said in a UA release.
