Yohann Benson Crowned PGA of Québec Champion at the Grand-Mère Golf Club

Grand-Mère, August 26, 2026 — Yohann Benson added his name for the third time to the list of winners of the PGA of Québec Championship, presented by Vidéotron Affaires, by winning the event held at the Grand-Mère Golf Club on August 25 and 26. With two identical rounds of 66, Benson finished the championship with a cumulative score of 8 under par, two strokes ahead of Brandon Lacasse.

Held over two 18-hole rounds, the PGA of Québec Championship brought together the province’s top professionals in various divisions. For this third consecutive year at the Grand-Mère Golf Club, participants were once again able to enjoy a course in excellent condition.

Yohann Benson Wins with Consistency

Yohann Benson was particularly solid throughout the two days of competition. After carding a 66 (-4) in the first round, he repeated the feat in the final round, also with a score of 66, to finish at -8.

His second round allowed him to post the best score of the final day and secure his victory in the championship.

“It’s always special to win the PGA of Québec Championship. It’s an important tournament for the members, and I’m very happy to have played two good rounds and finished at the top,” Benson said after his victory.

Brandon Lacasse delivered an excellent performance to finish in second place with a total of -6. Lacasse got off to a great start with a spectacular round of 63 (-7) on the first day—the best 18-hole round of the championship. A second-round score of 71 then allowed him to hold onto second place.

The third spot on the podium was shared by Chris Vandette, Alexis Clément, and Billy Houle, who all finished with the same total score.

Martin Plante Wins in a Playoff in the Seniors Division

The competition was particularly close in the senior division, where a three-way tie for the lead resulted in a playoff.

The three leading players had completed the 36 holes with a cumulative score of +5, forcing an extra hole to determine the champion.

In the end, it was Martin Plante who emerged victorious. Plante made a birdie on the first hole of the playoff to claim the senior championship title.

This dramatic conclusion capped off a highly competitive tournament among the senior players, who battled it out until the very end.

Billy Houle, Defending Champion of the Head Professional Division

In the head professionals’ division, Billy Houle took top honors with a cumulative score of -4.

Houle carded rounds of 66 and 77 over the two rounds to claim the title, adding yet another achievement to his record with the PGA of Québec.

Already one of the most decorated players on the PGA of Québec tour, Houle once again demonstrated his consistency and experience during a championship played under challenging conditions.

Lory Paradis Wins Women’s Title

In the women’s division, Lory Paradis claimed the title with a cumulative score of +2.

Paradis showed remarkable improvement over the two days of competition. After a first round of 74, she carded an excellent 68 (-2) in the final round to finish the championship at the top of her division.

Her performance on the second day allowed her to finish the competition on a high note and walk away with the title of PGA of Québec Women’s Champion.
