Following his win in 2024, Gabriel Mainella (Summit G&CC) has captured his second Ontario Junior Boys’ golf championship.
On July 2 at Fenwick, Ont. Mainella shot rounds of 67-70-66-70–273 (-11), good for a one-shot victory over 2025 champ Spencer Shropshire (Hawk Ridge GC). The defending champ shot 72-70-63-69–274 (-10). His third-round 8-under 63 is a new course record. Last year, he shot a course-record 62 at Lindsay Golf and Country Club.
