Rory Neill (Glendale Golf & Country Club) is the 2026 Nott Autocorp Men’s Amateur Champion.
The 22 year old shot a 3-under par 69 on Wednesday at St. Boniface Golf Club to finish at 5-under par 211, good for a two stroke victory over Drew Jones (Shilo Country Club).
Neill had an impressive performance with nine straight pars before making an eagle on the par four – 10th hole, holing out his second shot from 120 yards, which set him up for the rest of the day.
With the win, Neill earns an exemption to compete in the Manitoba Open next month at Elmhurst Golf & Country Club.
Jones had the low round of the day to close out the championship at 5-under par 67. His round included eagles on the sixth and 17th holes, a birdie on nine along with 15 pars.
Kaleb Lambert (Elmhurst) finished third on the leaderboard at 2-under par 214.
Neill, Jones and Lambert will represent our province later this month as Team Manitoba at the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in Calgary.
