Matthew Javier (Scarboro) captures Ontario Men’s Amateur Championship

Matthew Javier of Scarboro Golf & Country Club captured the 102nd Ontario Men’s Amateur Championship at St. Catharines Golf and Country Club.

Javier entered the final round atop the leaderboard by one stroke and maintained that lead in dominating fashion, shooting a 6-under-par 65 to finish five strokes ahead of runner-up, Justin Matthews (TPC Toronto), who shot 5-under-par 66 in the final round.

In total, Javier, who is part of Team Canada’s – Next Gen program, shot 269 – 15-under-par in the four rounds.

Along with his 2022 & 2023 Ontario (U17) Juvenile Boys Championship wins and this year’s Ontario Junior (U19) Boys Spring Classic victory, Javier can add an Ontario Men’s Amateur Championship to his spectacular resume.

For finishing top three in the Ontario Men’s Amateur Championship, Javier, along with Matthews and Michael Weber (Burlington Golf & Country Club), will represent Ontario at the 119th Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship August 5 – 8 at Riverside Country Club in Saskatoon, SK.

Matthews, a Team Ontario alumni, shot 9-under-par 62 in the second round, which tied a St. Catharines Golf and Country Club record for the lowest scoring round in club history.
