Montréal, August 4, 2025 – A total of 10 golf events were on the program for the Finales des Jeux du Québec, held July 30 to August 1 at the Ki-8-Eb Golf Club in Trois-Rivières. Athletes from the Rive-Sud region really stood out, winning eight medals, led by Lia Bouthillier and Raphaelle Provost, champions in the juvenile category, two-ball, best-ball event, with a total score of 58.

 

Bouthillier also carded a hole in one on the 9th hole, allowing her team to extend its lead at that point.

 

Catherine Dumoulin and Sophie P. Raymond, from Laval, finished second, just ahead of Zixuan Tan, from Montréal, who was alone on the podium for this team event.

 

In addition to all these medals, the South Shore delegation was awarded the Ethics in Sport banner for golf during the various competitions.

 

Bouthillier and Provost won a second team medal for their region in the Vegas two-person competition, where they tied for third place with Victoria Roy and Alycia St-Gelais from Capitale-Nationale. Lorie Rosa and Victoria Jacques (Lanaudière) won gold ahead of Laurianne Payer and Mylee Murillo Beaudoin from the Laurentides region.
