Wilson signed for a six-under-par 66 and a course record at Owl’s Head and won the Callaway Golf Classic, the second stage of the circuit Callaway Golf professional assistants. He won with a margin of four shots on Jean-Pierre Morin (Dorchester) and earned $2000.

Wilson was also ranked first in the order of merit of the Callaway Golf Circuit with 250 points, 49 more than his next rival.

“I cannot ask for more as the start of the season,” Wilson, aged 23, told the local newspaper. “I played a strong part in reaching 15 greens in prescribed and needing only 28 putts.”

Sponsored by Callaway, Wilson added eight birdies, including five on the back nine. After a bogey at the 10th hole, he saw a sequence of three consecutive birdies (11th, 12th and 13th) before pass two other 15th and 16th holes.

His scorecard was marred by only one other bogey or fourth hole.

Wilson’s mother and father from Dubbo, Julie and Bob Wilson, visited Lindsay recently and said he is working out of the Royal Montreal Golf Club, a club where he once worked on the course during a previous visit to Canada.

“It’s been a great start for him,” Bob said.

“He had a four under 68 to win the first event - including a two shot penalty for practising a putt after he had finished the hole - then came up with the record at Owls Head.

“He sounds really confident and he’s playing well, so all that’s good. His next mission is to qualify for pro-am starts.

“This week Lindsay played in the Rail Canada fourball matchplay but he and his partner shot 1-under-par and missed qualifying by two shots. He next plays in the pro-am prior to the Championships Tour event on June 28.

“Maybe he will get a game with the great Tom Watson or one of the other golf greats expected to be in the field?”

Also in Canada are two other former Dubbo players, 2010 club champion Joel Head and Ross Horrocks, the greenkeeper.

Head is working on the practice range at Royal Montreal while Horrocks is on the course staff.

Meanwhile, Lindsay Wilson’s twin brother, Pat, is continuing his golf/business scholarship at Houston University in America.

“Currently there’s not been much golf on with most concentration on exams and summer school,” Bob Wilson said.

“It looks as though his next major event will be at New York State, a four-round tournament that will attract all the top amateur players.

“From home we’re pleased to know that Pat’s handling the big work load with study and golf practice.”
