The Canadian Amateur Championship, begun in 1895, is the men's amateurgolf championship of Canada. It is staged annually by the Golf Canada. It was played at match play until 1968, went to stroke play beginning in 1969, and reverted to match play in 1995. It returned to stroke play in 2008.
Founding and early years
The Royal Canadian Golf Association was founded in June 1895, at a meeting held in Ottawa by ten charter member clubs, hosted by the Ottawa Golf Club (later the Royal Ottawa Golf Club), and the new organization was granted the prefix 'Royal' in 1896. In conjunction with the meeting, the first men's amateur championship was staged, at match play, with the Governor General, Lord Aberdeen, donating a trophy, the Aberdeen Cup, to the champion. Thomas Harley of Kingston, Ontario won the first championship.
This makes the Canadian Amateur slightly older than the U.S. Amateur, which was first staged later in 1895, and hence the third oldest national amateur championship in the world, after the British Amateur Championship, which began in 1885, and the Australian Amateur in 1894.
The Canadian Amateur Championship (occasionally known as the Canadian Open Snooker Championship) is an annual snooker competition played in Canada and is the highest ranking amateur event in the Canada.
The competition was first established back in 1969 which was won by Paul Thornley. Alain Robidoux is the record championship holder with seven titles, one ahead of Kirk Stevens. Tom Finstad holds the record for reaching the most finals having reached eleven finals and won the championship three times. The championship is currently held by Alan Whitfield who defeated former champion Floyd Ziegler 6–1 to win the 2014 tournament.
The Amateur Championship (sometimes referred to as the British Amateur or British Amateur Championship outside of the UK) is a golf tournament which is held annually in the United Kingdom. It is one of the two leading individual tournaments for amateur golfers, alongside the U.S. Amateur. It normally has the widest international representation of any individual amateur event, with 34 golf federations from all six continents represented in the 2010 championship. It has been held in the UK on all but one occasion; in 1949 Ireland hosted the championship.
The championship was founded in 1885 by the Royal Liverpool Golf Club and was, for many years, regarded as an unofficial event. In 1922, the R&A decided that Allan Macfie, the winner of the event, should be added to the list of Amateur Championship winners.

CANADA VS USA- FINALS: THE DECIDER, SNOOKER EXHIBITION IN SEATTLE, WA
Canada vs USA— Snooker Exhibition in Seattle, WA, at BAIZE Snooker Club’s Grand-Opening Day, February 29th, 2020. A border battle between the Pacific Southwest of Canada and the Pacific Northwest of the USA. Will the Commonwealth teach the Americans a snooker lesson, or will the upstart Seattle players benefit from having the home-field advantage?
The quick exhibition format allowed the Seattle audience great exposure to live snooker in a beautiful club with Star Tournament tables and excellent players. A first in Pioneer Square. The first round is round-robin, and a team wins a point for a frame their player wins. The high break wins one point for their team. The winner of the round-robin has the advantage of deciding the final round player matchups. The final match is a race to two.
