North Vancouver鈥檚 Ashley Zibrik won the PGA of BC Women鈥檚 Championship for the second time in her career earlier this month, besting a strong field at Point Grey Golf and Country Club.
The tournament used a stableford points scoring system, and Zibrik racked up 74 points in the 36-hole event to win by three points over four-time champion Leila Harman.
鈥淚 just wanted to play some good golf and to shoot 68 (total points) today against some phenomenal golfers in this field,鈥� said Zibrik in a PGA of BC release. The win was impressive given the fact that Zibrik has a one-year-old son at home and hasn鈥檛 been able to play nearly as much as she usually does. Her lack of course time may have even helped her put up a big score, she joked.
鈥淚 think when you鈥檙e a new mom you have lower expectations, so I just hit some really good shots.鈥�
Zibrik formerly worked as an instructor at North Vancouver鈥檚 Seymour Creek Golf Centre and is now at Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club. She won the PGA of Canada鈥檚 Class 鈥淎鈥� Professional of the Year Award in 2016 and received the association鈥檚 Professional Development Award in 2014, remaining to this day the only woman to win either of those national awards.
