COURTENAY, British Columbia, Canada – Senior Jake Shuman captured the tournament crown at the Mackenzie Tour – PGA Tour Canada Qualifying Tournament at Crown Isle Resort and Golf Community on Friday, earning full exemption status for the 2018 season.
Not only was it one of Shuman’s best tournaments in his career—signing for an 18-under 270 through 72 holes—it had an extra bit of Duke-feel to it, as the Needham, Mass. local had Blue Devil teammate Ben Silverman caddy for him the entire event.
“It was an incredible week having Ben [Silverman] with me for every shot,” Shuman said.
