See Johnny Ruiz won a Canadian Tour event early in the month and is in the field. He's #2 on the order of merit, too.

Is the field always this weak for the Canadian ? I din't think so from memory but only 22 players from the Open last week teeing up... Backing English/Swafford and Danny Lee each way, credit to Lee for flying to the UK as an alternate so hope he can be rewarded and move up towards the top 10 in the Presidents Cup rankings.

On the surface Kuch has to be an absolute favorite here, but is there any concern about an Open hangover? That was a pretty tough L to take, and while I think kuch is equipped to bounce back from that sort of thing better than anyone, hopping a plane across the atlantic and playing a tournament 3 days after THAT seems tough for even him.

 

Thoughts?

For those wondering, Austin Connelly did get an invite to the Canadian Open, but declined. He will stay in Europe and try to secure his card there for 2018.

 

Patrick Cantlay makes his first start since The Memorial.

 

My random 20 something pick to win is Lee McCoy.

 

I just saw him here in montreal playing a Pga canada event i tried to monday qualify into. Loads of potential just not quite there yet.

There are great courses out east too, problem would be attendance.

 

Crowbush area, or Cabot cliffs /links. But they are not in populated areas.

 

Actually a good amount of our top courses are resort type courses and attendance might be the big drawback. So Toronto clubs and Shaughnessy tend to dominate

They won't play it at Banff, too short, not enough room, and not its not Toronto...

 

I also wonder with our short seasons how many club's members really want the event. There's a few courses around here that could host an event, I know I would be upset if my club did though

Soft greens and little wind, boys went attack mode. I followed lahiri duke and sabitinni. Duke and Rory were having some heated arguments on the last few holes. Lahiri aka the great brown hope made me proud with 5/6 birdies until the horn blew. Spoke with lahiris coach Vijay for a bit before the round too. I might be the only guy there who religiously follows the Indian tour that lahiri was bred from. Fantastic day. Back tomorrow!

Kinda weak field this year without J Day and a few others

 

That said, RBC may drop Day from their sponsorship team.

Rory was being overly controlling of both volunteers and fans all day. Spazzing out on the smallest things. Duke and his caddy were actually helping control the crowds for him to help his OCD. When duke was about to hit on a hole, Rory's caddy bag started clanking hard. Duke said Rory would have freaked if his caddy did that to him. Duke was actually on quite a birdie run at the time. Overall Rory's general demeanour and etiquette was just weird/rude all day. Duke got set off and they traded a few words, but ultimately it seemed they cleared up. Although a number of f bombs and what the hell are you doings were dropped. Dukes caddy is a character, had a quick chat with him as he went ahead to a tee
