VICTORIA, Canada – Rising senior Ricardo Celia (Barranquilla, Colombia) finished fourth in the Canadian Men's Amateur Championship, completed Friday at the Royal Colwood Golf Club in Victoria, British Columbia.
Celia came into the fourth and final round tied atop the leaderboard after shooting a 4-under-par 66 on Thursday. He was part of the final group with Corey Conners and Eli Cole, each sitting at 6-under heading into the last 18 holes.
Cole, a native of Beverly Hills, Calif., took home the championship with an even-par round of 70 on Friday, finishing with a four-round total of 276 (6-under-par). Two Canadians, Conners and Taylor Pendrith (who shot a 68 in the final round), tied for second place, one stroke ahead of Celia.
Celia carded even-par 70's on each of the first two days before his Thursday round of 66. That mark was the second-lowest round score of the tournament, along with six others. Taiwan's Yu-Chuan Hsiang had the championship's best round, a 65 on Wednesday.
