Universiade update: Pauls, Team Canada sit seventh heading into final round

Moving day at the 2015 Summer Universiade saw the Canadian men’s golf team take a small step down the leaderboard.

Team Canada, featuring UFV golfer Aaron Pauls and coached by Cascades head coach Chris Bertram, combined for a solid score of 144 during Friday’s third round at Naju Golf Lake Country Club. But after starting the day in sixth place, they were leapfrogged by the United Kingdom and will head into Saturday’s final round in seventh.

Russell Bowie of Queen’s University turned in his second straight round of 69 to lead the three-man Canadian squad, with an eagle on the 18th hole capping his sparkling effort. Pauls and Dylan Cave of the University of Waterloo fired matching rounds of 75.

Canada’s three-round total of 432 leaves them 16 strokes back of front-running Thailand (416). Japan and the Republic of Korea are tied for second at 419, while France (420), Ireland (430), the United Kingdom (431) and Canada have ground to make up to secure a podium position.

Bowie (-3), Cave (+4) and Pauls (+11) are T5, T20 and T31, respectively, in the individual men’s standings.
