KELOWNA — Robby Shelton mistakenly thought he was going to a playoff. It was about the only error the Alabama native made all week at Gallagher’s Canyon Golf & Country Club.
Shelton poured in a seven-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole late Sunday afternoon to win the $175,000 GolfBC Championship. It took him a few seconds to realize what had happened.

KELOWNA — Jared du Toit acknowledges he can be tough on himself on the golf course and that is one of the reasons why he loves having his brother Russell on his bag as caddie.
While Jared may be more of a glass is half empty kind of guy, Russell sees that glass as half full. He has an ability to see the positive when Jared is a little down on himself.

KELOWNA — Kimberley’s Jared du Toit set the tone with an early-morning 10-under 61, but there were many more birdies and eagles to come during the remainder of Saturday’s third round of the GolfBC Championship.
It was like Gallagher’s Canyon Golf & Country Club was under siege by some of the world’s top young professionals, who were taking dead aim at the pins on a day that offered near-perfect scoring conditions.
