Brandon’s Jared Jacobson birdied the last three holes on Sunday to capture the 60th annual Grey Owl golf tournament, presented by IG Wealth Management, in thrilling fashion. Jacobson, who plays a lot of his golf at Clear Lake Golf Course, looked right at home as he rolled in a 12-foot birdie putt on 18 to fire a 2-under-par 70. Wheat City Golf Course’s Ross Sheard missed a four-foot putt on 18 that would have forced a playoff. Jacobson’s 1-under total of 141 was good enough for his second Grey Owl championship. He also won in 2014. Sheard had a two-shot lead on first-round leader Noel Ngo and a four-shot edge on Jacobson standing on the 16th tee, but he bogeyed the short par 4 while Ngo and Jacobson birdied. Jacobson then pulled within one of Sheard when he rolled in a 12-footer on the par-3 17th for birdie. Sheard parred and Ngo bogeyed, so Sheard had a one-shot edge on both of them going into the final hole. Jacobson, 42, hit a gap wedge to 12 feet, while Sheard put his approach shot on the front left portion of the green, about 30 feet away. Sheard’s putt rolled about four feet past the hole, and then Jacobson stepped up and rolled his putt in for his third straight birdie. Sheard could have forced extra holes, but his four-footer slid just past the right edge. Sheard (71-71—142) and Ngo (70-72—142) tied for second, while defending champion Jay Thiesen of Russel (72-77—149) and Shilo’s Nolan Tutkaluk (75-74—149) tied for fourth. Tim Lynch of Williston, N.D. (79-72—151) won the Greyer Owl title for those age 60 and over. Stephen Johnston of QX104 and 94.3 The Drive won his fifth Media Flight title with scores of 87 and 81 for a 168 total. The Grey Owl was played for the first time since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and 261 golfers participated.

Brandon's Braden Keeble has confirmed his commitment to join the NCAA Division I Yale University Bulldogs in New Haven, Connecticut. Prior to joining Yale, Keeble will suit up for the Brooks Bandits (AJHL) for the 2022-23 season. Depending on when his coaches feel he’s ready for the next level of play, he will then join Yale for the start of the 2023 or 2024 season. Keeble spent last season with the Brandon Wheat Kings U18 AAA squad where he amassed an impressive 96 points in just 44 regular season games. His strong showing was enough to warrant being named the Canadian Elite Hockey Leagues (CEHL) player of the year for 2021/22. Keeble told bdnmb.ca that he selected Yale over several other schools, including Princeton, for a number of reasons. "A big consideration for both my family and myself was the educational component...as well as the hockey side of things". "Overall, I couldn't be any happier". Congratulations, @KeebleBraden ! #WingmanIsFamily @BrooksBandits @3Awheatkings @Yale pic.twitter.com/oUo6KHOc1y — Wingman Hockey Group (@wingmangrp) June 11, 2022
