Jack Lowery Captures Ontario Amateur Crown By GEO. H. CAMPBELL Sports Editor Yue Times-Gazette Deliberate and methodical, with the poise of a seasoned profession- al, Jack Lowery, 20-year-old styl ist 'from the St. Catharines Golf Club, captured the 1956 Ontario Amateur championship crown at the local club on Saturday after- noon when he defeated Ray Coole of Hamilton Glendale § and 3, in the final match of the 34th annual OGA amateur classic. Lowery, whose name was omit ted from the original draw due to some slip, took Grant Shirk's place in the first round draw, was a combination that could not be denied. In his final match, Lowery shot par for 12 of the 15 holes played-- he birdied the other three. Only twice in this match did Lowery {fail to be well on the. green in par or less and on both his recovery was within one putt of the hole. Ray Coole, who had defeated 1955 champion Gerry Magee in {the morning's semi - final round, |was not quite as sharp in his final match. It was his first time in the |Ontario Amateur tournament and the former Inter-Collegiate cham- jon just couldn't match his early orm. At that, he wasn't far be- hind. They halved 10 of the 15 when the Kitchener golfer notified holes -- lowery won the other five, the committee that he was too busy being a brand new father, {two with birdies.

The presentation was made in front of the Oshawa Golf Club verandah, before the large gallery of enthusiasts who had followed the match from start to finish. Ray Coole came up with his {finest golf of the event to elimi- nate the defending champion, Ger- ry Magee of Lambton. In this match, Coole couldn't match the scoring drives that Magee un- leashed, but he came close and his "seconds" and recoveries were superior while his putting was sensational in spots. He sank a 25- footer to win the second hole and although he bogeyed the third, Magee had even more trouble and Coole still had his two - up mar- gin when they reached the turn and then he sank a 15-foot putt to g0 three up. It was here that Magee made his move. He took the 1ith with a birdie, following a drive that was well over the 300.yard mark and {he took the 12th also. Magee got in trouble again on the 14th but won the 15th, Magee pressed hard but Coole's splendid second shots| kept him even on the next three and they reached the 18th Fees, with Coole still one up. agee LOWERY ALMOST OUT Bruce Castator of Weston came next two and then Lowery had his worst hole of the tournament on the 16th, one of the shortest of the course, when he was two over par.
