For a second consecutive round the players were faced to deal with strong wind conditions as they set out to put themselves in contention for the third and final round.

In the Senior Division, Moncton’s Eric Haley entered round two sitting four strokes off the lead thanks to his great play in today’s difficult conditions he will be leading tomorrow’s final group. Haley’s second round 3-under par 69 was Tuesday’s low round which was comprised of 6 birdies, 1 eagle, 7 pars, 3 bogeys and 1 double. Joining Haley in the final pairing on Wednesday is Hampton’s Mike Breen and St. Quentin’s Denis Beaulieu who are both tied for second place after the duo both recorded first round even-par 72’s and second round 2-over par 74’s.

Fox Creek’s Jean Leblanc, Guy MacKnight of Country Meadows and Fredericton’s Sonny Phillips are all tied for the lead in the Super-Senior Division, the trio are all entering Wednesday’s round sitting on top of the leaderboard at 11-over par. Sonny’s round of 76, 4-over par in today’s tough conditions was enough to move him into the final Super-Senior group for tomorrow. He will be competing against LeBlanc and MacKnight for the Super-Senior Championship in what can be assumed to be a true test of skill and course knowledge with more links like conditions expected. 2017 NB Super-Senior Champion Herrick Hansen of Aroostook Valley is currently sitting in a three-way tie for fourth place alongside Bernard Leger of Royal Oaks and Gilles Masse as he looks to battle back and claim his second consecutive Super-Senior Championship.

The Riverside Country Club’s Edward Reevey enters the final round of the 2018 NB Mid-Master Championship Presented by Audi Moncton looking to capture the championship for the fourth consecutive year. Reevey started round 2 at 1-under par before complimenting it a second-round score of 1-over par 73 on a difficult windy day at Royal Oaks. Joining Reevey in the final round is three time NB Mid-Master Champion Tony MacKinnon of Fredericton Golf Club. MacKinnon’s even par performance on Tuesday was an exchange of pars, bogeys and birdies as the 2009, 2012 and 2014 NB Mid-Master Champion made a final push into contention for the 2018 Championship. Rounding out the final group is Edumundston’s Darren MacPherson who recorded a 3-over par 75 on Tuesday to add to his previous 4-over par 76 during round one. Darren sits 7 shots behind the leader Reevey and 2 behind MacKinnon as the three look ahead to the final round and the chance to represent New Brunswick at the 2018 Canadian Mid-Amateur Championships as the final member of the Willingdon Cup Team.

Round 1 of the 2018 NB Senior Men’s & Mid Master Championship Presented by Audi Moncton began with the Mid-Masters leading off the field. Players at the front of the field were greeted with a humid and damp morning as they set out to try and conquer the difficult Royal Oaks course. As the day moved on, the wind began to pick up and take its toll on the leaderboard as high scores became more and more common as the day aged.

Leading the charge in the Mid-Master Division is Cameron King of Brudenell River. Cameron recorded an opening round 3-under par 69 to put himself on top of the Mid-Master leaderboard and secure the low round of the day. King’s round consisted of 13 pars, 4 birdies and a bogey which lead to a front nine 3-under par 33 and an even par back nine of 36.

Sitting in second place, Reevey signed for a 1-under par 71 during his morning round which was comprised of 13 pars, 3 birdies and 2 bogeys.  In a three-way tie for third place is Fredericton’s Bob Brown, Lakeside’s Remi Comeau, and Brian Dalrymple of Kingswood who all sit at 2-over par after a first round 74.

In the Senior & Super-Senior Division, the field was faced with an uphill battle trying to go low against the moist fairways of Royal Oaks combined with a links like wind that carried through all 18 holes. After the first round, the leaderboard contains a three-way tie for first place between Ralph Michaud of Aroostook Valley, Mike Breen of Hampton and Denis Beaulieu of St. Quentin. The three all recorded first round even-par 72’s which any golfer would be happy to card in today’s conditions as they all exchanged birdies and bogeys throughout the round.
