Competitors were treated to near perfect conditions during the final round of the 2018 MCT Men’s Amateur Championship. Shaun Margeson, a former NSGA Development Team Member, put on an impressive show during his final round. The eighteen year-old, Fall River native and member of Oakfield, fired a five under par 67 to finish with a +3 four-day total of 291. “I hit 16 greens today and that gave me lots of looks at birdies. It was actually a stress free round, as I was hitting the ball really straight all week. Hitting it straight at River Hills is what you have to do to win here”, said Margeson following his win today. Margeson, who just finished his freshman year at the College of Costal Georgia carded a total of 5 birdies and 13 pars to win by  11 strokes over Aaron Nickerson from River Hills. Nickerson, carded a final round 77 to finish the week with a four-day total of 302. Jody Swim who was tied for the lead with Margeson heading into todays round, finished third and one stroke behind Nickerson.

Margeson will lead the team that is heading to the Canadian Amateur on August 6-9. Joining him at the Canadian Amateur are Aaron Nickerson and Sean Stuart. The team will be traveling to the Duncan Meadows Golf Resort and Pheasant Glen Golf Resort in Duncan and Qualicum, BC to represent Nova Scotia.
