Jacob Vanderpas Wins PACWEST Gold

For the first time in his golf career, Jacob Vanderpas of the Langara Falcons has been crowned a Provincial Champion.

This weekend he shot a 72 and 71 at Morningstar Golf Course on Vancouver Island to capture the title with a cumulative score of 571, five strokes better than James Casorso of the UBCO Heat.

“It feels great to get the job done,” said Vanderpas

After the first tournament the Vancouver native was tied for sixth before starting to claw his way to the top of the leader board.  He finished second at the Okanagan Golf Club and Westwood Plateau, and then was tied for second this weekend at Morningstar, clinching the PACWEST gold medal.

This gold is also the first medal for the Falcons golf program, which entered the Conference just last year.
