Matthew Javier of Scarboro Golf & Country Club captures the 102nd Ontario Men’s Amateur Championship at St. Catharines Golf and Country Club.

Javier entered the final round atop the leaderboard by one stroke and maintained that lead in dominating fashion, shooting 6-under 65 to finish five strokes ahead of runner-up Justin Matthews, who shot 5-under 66 in the final round.

In total, Javier, who is part of Team Canada’s Next Gen program, finished 15-under in the four rounds.

Along with his 2022 & 2023 Ontario (U17) Juvenile Boys Championship wins and this year’s Ontario Junior (U19) Boys Spring Classic victory, Javier can add an Ontario Men’s Amateur Championship to his spectacular resume.

For finishing top three in the Ontario Men’s Amateur Championship, Javier, along with Matthews and Michael Weber, will represent Ontario at the 119th Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship from August 5th to 8th at Riverside Country Club in Saskatoon, SK.

Matthews, a Team Ontario alumni, shot 9-under 62 in the second round, which tied a St. Catharines Golf and Country Club record for the lowest-scoring round in club history.
