Saskatchewan players are holding their own at the Wascana Country Club after two days of the Canadian Junior Boys Championships in Regina.
A dozen players from the province in the field of 156 started the championship on Tuesday, five will move on and continue the event over the final 36 holes.
Saskatchewan junior champion Ryan Mosher cruised up the leaderboard vaulting 36 spots with a second round 3-under par, 69. He sits tied for 23rd at 1-under par overall.
Home club favourite and reigning Saskatchewan amateur champion Austin Nesbitt will also spark the interest at the Wascana to another level. Already with a large gallery, the 15-year-old shot 1-under 71 and is even par through 36 holes, four shots low of the cut line.
Aricin Franklin of Saskatoon is also even par halfway through the championship and safely moving on to round three on Thursday. The 2025 Saskatchewan junior winner is tied at 32nd with Nesbitt and several others.
Matty Schmiess of Swift Current made the cut at the Saskatchewan Amateur Championships as a 16-year-old, he will also play the final two days at nationals. The Elmwood Golf Club member is at 1-over par.
Oliver Matyczuk of Saskatoon was in Regina on the waiting list to get into the event, when there was a late withdrawal, the Riverside Country Club member got in, and without a practice round he carded back-to-back rounds of 74 to make the cut on the number.
Unfortunately, Lucas Sturgeon and Dane Giesbrecht will miss the cut by a stroke.
Brady Guenther, Wyatt Nelson, Shae Maunula, Lincoln Rogers, and Ethan Hunter all represented the province on home soil.
The team of Mosher, Maunula, and Giesbrecht tied for sixth in the two-round team competition.
