Wallace qualifies for Canadian Tour by Mare Davis The Review Peninsula golfer Brian Wallace, 21, came within an inch of sinking a 10-foot putt at the 18th hole Thursday but still had good reason to break into a broad smile as he casually tapped the ball into the hole. Wallace had just qualified for the Canadian professional golfers’ circuit after tying for 11th place overall at the Canadian Profes- sional Golfers Association spring qualifying tournament at Glen Meadows. Wallace is the youngest of four Canadians to have each won one of the 38 CPGA Tour cards which about 158 golfers were competing for during the foursday, tourna- ment. “This is something that I’ve wanted to do since I was ten. I’m very happy but mostly because I qualified on my first attempt,” Wallace said. Wallace, who lives in Central Saanich, graduated from Clare- mont High in 1987 and has spent the last three years honing his golfing skills at Ardmore Golf Course and in various Vancouver Island tournaments. Wallace shot a score of 295 over the 72-hole event but said ner- vousness caused him to play well _ below. his best. “Wednesday's round was the Despite dominating the play against the St. Michael’s Univer- sity School Blue Devils, the Park- land Panthers girls’ soccer team suffered a bitter 2-1 defeat at SMU, May 8. From the outset, the Panthers looked like the stronger team as, throughout the first half, Parkland players pinned the Devils in its own half, creating numerous scor- ing Opportunities. Some excellent goalkeeping and solid defensive play from the opposition kept Parkland from making all its hard work count. In second half action, the dead- lock was broken after about 15 minutes when SMU capitalized on one of its few scoring opportuni- ties. The Panthers intensified the pressure on the Devils’ as the Peninsula team took shot after shot on goal in search of the equalizer. turing point for me. Until then, I had been hitting the ball well but not getting the scores I want Wallace said. Wednesday’s round was Wal- lace’s best of the event, having shot a two-under-par score of 70. Now he is looking forward to playing in the very competitive CPGA Tour and he hopes to find a sponsor. Having lived at home with his parents all his life, Wallace said he does not relish the prospect of spending the coming months liv- ing in hotels and waiting around in airport lounges. But the prospect of “at least doubling” his income and gaining valuable experience on the tour should be ample compensation, he added. After shooting scores of 83 and 78 during the first two days of play, Peninsula golfer Ed Beauchemin abandoned his efforts to earn a Tour card, saying that he was “off form.” Beauchemin said he plans to try again at the fall qualifying tourna- ment in Toronto and that he will play in local competitions until then. Scott Geroux, 27, of Yelm, Wash., was the spring qualifying event's winner, with a score of 282. The Canadian Tour starts the 1990 season with the Pepsi Payless Open at Victoria’s Gorge Vale Golf Course on May 31. Panthers edged by Devils Yet, the Devils surprised and frustrated the visitors further with a breakaway goal a few minutes later. The Panthers’ luck took a brief tum for the better when the girls were awarded a penalty ten min- utes from full time. Jenny Milligan confidently slotted the ball home to reduce the deficit to 2-1. That’s how the score remained until the final whistle as the Devils weathered an attacking onslaught in the dying minutes of the game. Parkland coach Joe Milligan said he was at a loss for words to explain how his team lost such a one-sided game. “Parkland played very well and were all over SMU but just couldn’t seem to put the ball in the back of the net,” he said. In upcoming action, Parkland plays Edward Milne School Thurs- day.
