Listen to this story:

The quick read: UBCO Heat golfer Andrew Rouble is wearing the maple leaf this week. The fourth-year Heat golfer earned a spot on Team Canada at the FISU World University Golf Championship in Bangkok, Thailand, a four-day tournament that began Tuesday at the Bangkok Golf Club and wraps up Friday. He arrives in strong form, after the Heat took silver at the Canada West Championships and won their first national title in June.

Andrew Rouble is a fourth-year golfer with the UBCO Heat men's team.

This week, he is playing for his country.

Rouble earned a spot on Team Canada for the 2026 FISU World University Golf Championship, where he is competing against some of the best university golfers in the world.

The four-day tournament began on Tuesday, November 10, and wraps up on Friday, November 13, at the Bangkok Golf Club in Bangkok, Thailand.

Joining Rouble on Team Canada are Alexandre Gélinas and Anthony Jomphe, both from the Montreal Carabins.

Arriving in form

Rouble is coming off a strong fall season with the Heat.

The team captured a silver medal at the Canada West Championships, the program's fourth consecutive conference podium finish.

And in June, the Heat won their first Canadian University/College Championship, shooting 19-under par over three rounds in Lévis, Quebec.

Rouble, from Wellesley, Ontario, tied for eighth individually at that championship at three-under par.

His teammate Oakley Mayner, a Kelowna native, finished second individually at eight-under.

A program on the rise

The national title in June was the Heat's fifth win of the season in nine events.

It capped a year in which a small Okanagan program beat the country's biggest schools on the biggest stage.

Now one of its golfers is carrying that momentum onto the world stage.

From Kelowna to Bangkok, Rouble is proof that a local university program can produce players who belong among the best in the world.

Good luck, Andrew.
