The Championship was played from May 29-June 1 at the Par 71 Cordova Bay Golf Course in Victoria, B.C.
The Manitoba Bisons men's golf team had their best score in Championship history in the fourth round with a 284 and registered 291-304-297-284 for a 1176 score (+40) and were only one shot back of eighth place University of Victoria, two shots back of seventh place Western University plus only six shots back of fifth place Université de Montréal. The men’s champion was Université Laval at 276-291-273-286-1126 (-10).
Individually for Manitoba, fifth year Bobby Wiebe led the Bisons and had a best ever finish by a Manitoba golfer at this Championship with a tie for eighth place after shooting 70-76-70-69 for a 285 score (+1). Third year Josh Wytinck (pronounced Wit-ing) was tied for 32nd with a 73-75-76-72-296 (+12) while second year Charlie Boyechko was tied for 43rd by posting a 75-81-74-69-299 (+15).

Bison golf head coach Garth Goodbrandson said from Victoria, “The guys played great on the final day after a tough day two and really bounced back with a great attitude. All five golfers really responded well and we would have loved a Top 5 finish but posted our lowest round in Championship history. Bobby also played fantastic all week and was one of the top players with a terrific tournament result.”
