    The owner history identifies the original Strong course and its later changes, then describes this championship under its own year heading with course-specific play. This binds the existing physical Canterbury Course, not unchanged routing or pars. First-nine opening and full-course completion are not conflated. The source was read through the public reader; the separate HTTP 403 response is retained and is not source content. Retained source SHA-256 ab16c89f83a722c1e71b0b2978b1285efee61b850f238f32b3d383d495720677. The same owner account explicitly identifies Shaker Heights as another qualifying course. This change does not assign every round to Canterbury or withdraw any other host.
