Episode Details

Evan Nachtigall is poised to make history as he leads the Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur championship by two shots after 54 holes, sitting at 17-under-par — potentially becoming the first golfer from Manitoba to win this national title since 2017. Facing stiff competition from three-time champion and NHL referee Garrett Rank (15-under) and Cam Burke (4 shots back), Nachtigall has shown remarkable composure with rounds of 64, 67, and 68. Despite a rough start Thursday, he stayed patient and focused, crediting mental toughness for keeping his game together. He’s also already earned a national team title with Manitoba’s first-ever all-club Inter-Provincial victory. The final round begins Friday at 9:30 AM CT — and the winner secures exemptions into the 2026 U.S. Mid-Amateur and qualifies for next summer’s Canadian Amateur and Mid-Amateur events.
