Copetown, ON (August 19, 2010)- A light fog hovered above the immaculate fairways of Copetown Woods Golf Club on Thursday morning, as golfers prepared to tee off in the Final Round of the Mizuno CJGA National Golf Championship, creating a surreal backdrop for what would be a spectacular closing round. The wind picked up gradually as the first couple groups made their way out on the course, sweeping away the last remnants of fog, and cunningly inviting the players onto the beautiful but treacherous links. A palpable tension could be felt around the practice green and first tee as leaders made their way to the starting tent, with the National Championship trophy well within their reach. By the time the leaders teed off, the breeze had strengthened to a gale, transforming already slick, triple rolled greens into glass. There was no doubt that at the end of the round that truly deserving champions would be crowned.
