The outstanding representation from Saskatchewan women golfers in Alberta at national championships continued on Wednesday in Edmonton.

Yorkton’s Ella Kozak has bounced back nicely after just missing the cut at the junior nationals in Leduc last week. She has posted back-to-back 78’s leaving the 15-year-old in a tie for 37th, also well below the cut. She tees off at 8 a.m.
Brooklin Fry of Shell Lake chopped four strokes off her first round score with a 78 on Wednesday. She’s sitting at 16-over going into the third round, her start time is 8:50 a.m.
Regina’a Alex Schmidt shot rounds of 80 and 85, she missed the cutline by three strokes. Schmidt will now prepare for her senior year of college at Lewis-Clark hoping to build on a strong junior year in Idaho.
