Dale Gauvin made a bit of mountain magic with an albatross at Stewart Creek.

Gauvin sized up No. 14, a Par-4 that measures 274 yards from the white tees, and peeled the cover off his big-stick, hoping for an eagle look. Turns out, he wouldn’t even need his putter — his ball was already at the bottom of the cup.

Also at Stewart Creek, Matt Burianni breezed through the third hole with one whack of a nine-iron from 143 yards away, while Madison Marchuk mastered No. 8 with a sweet seven-iron on the 182-yard challenge.

Just a couple weeks after his triumph at the PGA of Alberta Championship, Riley Fleming continued his superb summer with an ace. Fleming, now an instructor at National Golf Academy, was one-and-done on No. 12 at Lynx Ridge thanks to an awesome eight-iron — and a bit of a helping wind — from 191 yards out.

Peggy Yeh wasn’t intimidated by the water on the fifth hole at Bearspaw. Yeh launched a six-hybrid over the trouble and was spot-on from 110 yards away.
