Judith Kyrinis is a Canadian national champion for the seventh time. Kyrinis needed a two-hole playoff win over Tina Papatolis to claim the 2026 Canadian Women’s Senior Championship, presented by BDO at Pine Hills Golf Club in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta on Friday.

“I didn’t really think that was going to happen today, so I am truly grateful to get this win,” said Kyrinis following the playoff. “The playoff was great, made that great and up down with a great putt so really just thrilled to win.”

The win gives Kyrinis her third Canadian Women’s Senior Championship, having previously won in 2016 and 2019 to go along with four Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championships (2016, 2019, 2023, 2025).

“It’s special to win the Ada Mackenzie Trophy and the other trophies that go along with the Mid-Am, I’m 62 years old so I try to represent the older seniors as best I can and I am just super proud,” said a smiling Kyrinis.

Rhonda Orr (Southwood Golf & Country Club) finished T15 as the top Manitoban on the leaderboard at 27-over par 246 following her best round of week with an 81.

Fran Povoledo (Southwood) ended play T34 at 39-over par 258 after an 88 while Stacey Borowski (Breezy Bend Country Club) shot a 90 to finish T36 at 40-over par 259.

Defending champion and three-time winner, Shelly Stouffer of Nanoose Bay, British Columbia (2021, 2022, 2025) leads the field of 123 competitors from across Canada and the United States. Joining Stouffer are fellow three-time winners, Canadian Golf Hall of Famer, Mary Ann Hayward of St. Thomas, Ontario (2010, 2011, 2023), and Terrill Samuel of Etobicoke, Ontario (2012, 2015, 2024) and two-time champion Judith Kyrinis of Thornhill, Ontario (2016, 2019). In July, Kyrinis added the Irish Senior Women’s Amateur Championship title to her long list of accomplishments. Stouffer, who was defending champion, finished second in Ireland. In June, Stouffer won her seventh consecutive British Columbia Senior Women’s Championship.

“We are excited to welcome a strong field with four past champions competing for our Canadian Women’s Senior Championship this week at Pine Hills Golf Club,” said Madeline MacMillan, Tournament Director, Golf Canada. “We’d like to sincerely thank the course staff and volunteers for their warm hospitality in the buildup to this national championship and we look forward to another memorable tournament this week.”

The Canadian Women’s Senior Championship features a pair of competitive divisions, the Senior division and the Super Senior division that run concurrently throughout the competition’s 54 holes. Females with a handicap index of 16.4 or less are eligible to compete in the 2026 Canadian Women’s Senior Championship. After 36 holes the field will be reduced to the low 70 players and ties based off the Senior division with a minimum of five Super Seniors making the cut and anyone within 10 shots of the lead in the division. Hayward enters as the defending champion of the Super Senior title. Hayward and Samuel have both won the title twice in the past four years.

Team British Columbia will look to claim the Katherine Helleur Trophy for a third consecutive year and fourth in five years. Since 2002, Team British Columbia and Team Ontario have claimed the coveted team title 11 times. Team Alberta was the last province outside of B.C. or Ontario to win in 2001. The Inter-Provincial Team competition runs concurrently over the first 36 holes of the national championship.

Borowski, Gibson and Povoledo will be representing our province in the Inter-Provincial Team Championship.

Pine Hills Golf Club is the perfect balance of challenge and beauty with 18 performance inspiring holes embraced by countless awe-inspiring scenic views. The Club is perfectly secluded with nature and is considered a delight to play yet difficult to master. Pine Hills was established in 1964 originally as a 9-hole layout. In 1989 renowned Canadian golf course architect Sid Puddicombe integrated an additional nine holes in unison with other improvements resulting in an 18-hole, Par 72 championship golf course that harmonizes perfectly with nature. The 2026 Canadian Women’s Senior Championship will mark the first time that Pine Hills has hosted a national championship.

“Pine Hills along with the community are extremely honoured to be able to host this event and showcase our club and surroundings to competitors from all over North America. Our staff, members and volunteers are looking forward to ensuring our club shines during the championship week,” said Dave Drake, Executive Professional and General Manager, Pine Hills Golf Club. “The field can expect a challenging yet fair setup during the week with an emphasis on accuracy off the tee as the rough will be penal and the greens will definitely test the players short game nerve.”

Conducted since 1971, the Canadian Women’s Senior Championship has featured many of the country’s top senior golfers. Canadian Golf Hall of Fame members Marlene Streit, Gayle Borthwick, Marilyn O’Connor, Margaret Todd and Mary Ann Hayward all own senior championship titles.

The event’s historic past is paired with a notable list of exemptions awarded to the winner of the Canadian Women’s Senior Championship, including a spot in the field at the 2026 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship set for September 26 – October 1 at the Portland Golf Club in Portland, Ore. Additionally, a spot in the 2027 U.S. Senior Women’s Open, 113^th Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship, 2027 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship and a 10-year exemption into the Canadian Women’s Senior Championship.

The Board of Directors of the Golf Manitoba Scholarship Fund (GMSF) are pleased to announce its award recipients for 2026.

These students are active in the Manitoba golf community either through participation or employment, have demonstrated academic excellence and are pursuing post-secondary studies at Canadian universities and colleges.

Two new scholarships have been created honouring the legacies of Rob Damsgaard and Harvey & Marion Goehring.

The Rob Damsgaard Memorial Scholarship has been established by family and friends to honour Rob’s lifelong dedication to the game of golf.

Over a career spanning more than four decades, Rob made significant contributions to the sport, with a particular commitment to fostering youth involvement.  He was deeply dedicated to the development of junior golf programs and took great pride in mentoring young golfers, both on the course and through their roles in the Pro Shop. Rob began his professional career in Dauphin and later served as Head Professional at Swan River, Winnipeg’s Wildewood Club and the Player’s Course. Applicants must be entering or continuing post secondary studies and demonstrate active involvement in the game of golf, either through employment or actively playing in competitions at a recognized golf club.

Over the past five years, she has worked at La Broquerie in various roles including Pro Shop Attendant, Server, Bartender, Beverage Cart Attendant, Marshall and Assistant Pro Shop Manager. Cote attends the University of Manitoba focusing on her Masters of Interior Design.

The Harvey and Marion Goehring Award honors two Golf Manitoba Volunteer Distinguished Service Award recipients who dedicated over six decades of combined volunteer service to golf in Manitoba and Northwest Ontario. Passionate advocates for grassroots youth development, Marion mentored junior golfers and led the Breezy Bend Ladies League, while Harvey spent 30 years in leadership, including serving as Golf Manitoba President (2009–2011) and on Golf Canada committees. Their humble teamwork and belief that golf is a “sport for a lifetime” perfectly embody the ideals of community dedication. This award is available to a male or female student entering their first (or subsequent year to a max of 4 years) of studies at a Canadian post-secondary institution and awarded based on a 50/50 combination of high academic standing and competitive golf background with Golf Manitoba.

Matthew Michaeleski, a member at Selkirk Golf & Country Club, is the inaugural recipient of the Harvey & Marion Goehring Award. He is attending the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Manitoba.
