Evan Nachtigall, a 25-year-old golfer from Manitoba, is in a strong position to win the Canadian Men's Mid-Amateur championship after completing 54 holes with a 17-under par total, leading by two shots. The Brandon native is aiming to become the first Manitoban to win the title since 2017. His main competition comes from three-time champion Garrett Rank, who is at 15-under par.
Other competitors include Cam Burke, who is four shots back at 13-under. Nachtigall started the tournament with an impressive eight-under 64, followed by rounds of 67 and 68. Despite struggling off the tee on Thursday, he managed to stay patient and secure a solid score. If he were to emerge victorious, Nachtigall would not only earn bragging rights but also gain an exemption into the 2026 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship and a spot in the Canadian Amateur and Mid-Amateur events next summer.
This win would come with significant rewards, including representing Manitoba in the Inter-Provincial Team title, which was won for the first time in Manitoba's golf history by Nachtigall, Jordy Lutz, and David Spurr.
