CALGARY, AB – Katie Cranston pulled away on the back nine and held on to finish at 3-under to win the 2026 Peloton Glencoe Invitational as part of the She Plays Golf Championship Series, presented by Audi at The Glencoe Golf & Country Club in Calgary on Saturday.

The win marks the third consecutive year that the Team Canada member has earned an exemption into the CPKC Women’s Open through the She Plays Golf Championship Series, presented by Audi. In 2024, Cranston finished runner-up in the PGA Women’s Championship of Canada and last year as the She Plays Golf Order of Merit winner.

Cranston of Oakville, Ont. entered the day one shot behind 36-hole leader and fellow Team Canada member Lauren Zaretsky of Thornhill, Ont. The teammates battled on the front nine and following a bogey on No. 3 from Zaretsky, the pair were tied at 1-under. Cranston pulled ahead with a bird on six; both women added birdies on No. 8, with Zaretsky closing her front nine with another birdie to sit tied at 3-under.

Zaretsky’s back nine started with two consecutive bogeys, putting Cranston ahead by two shots through 11. The pair both carded birdies on No. 14, before another bogey on 15 by Zaretsky put Cranston ahead by three. Cranston ran into some trouble late with a double bogey on 17 that cut her lead to just one. However, on No. 18 Cranston added another birdie to secure victory by three over Zaretsky.

Cranston finished the tournament with rounds of 71-72-70-213 and was awarded the Audi Precision Award for carding the most birdies during the tournament with 15.

Cranston will be making her fifth consecutive appearance at the CPKC Women’s Open, with her best finish coming last year at the Mississaugua Golf and Country Club when she finished T71.
