The 2009 VIA Rail Canada Cup final is set for tomorrow at 12 noon EST. Representing the Ontario PGA will be Peterborough native and former Kawartha member Jerry Hinds (Heritage Hills) and Danny King (Academy Tee at Magna) and representing the Quebec PGA will be the team of Carl Desjardins (Le Blainvillier) and Yvan Beauchemin (Grand mere).
Hinds who was one of the top juniors at Kawartha Golf and Country Club back in the 80's and King battled the elements this afternoon in what was an up and down match verses the team of Dave Levesque (Rattlesnake Point) and Billy Walsh (Beacon Hall). Rain soaked metropolitan Montreal for the majority of the day while the players contested a seesaw battle.
"Those were the toughest conditions I've ever played in," said a rain soaked Jerry Hinds who made a clutch birdie putt on 17 to bring the match back to all square.
The real turning point in the match came when Danny King jugged a 7 Iron from 158 yards into the wind on the par 4 14th hole, which brought the match to all square.
"We had good communication with one another today and that really helped us, especially in these conditions," said King. "Tomorrow we will have to do more of the same in order to come out on top."
Both teams cruised through their respective moring matches. Levesque and Walsh beat Eddie Maunder and former Peterborough Golf and Country club member Reggie Millage 4 & 3 while Hinds and King beat Colin Murray (Peninsula Lakes) and Mark Napier (Rattlesnake Point) 3 & 2.
