Charter flight from British Open a ‘valuable perk’ for Canadian Open

This year, 14 Canadians will compete at Glen Abbey Golf Course in Oakville, Ont., outside of Toronto.

The Canadian Open is such a special event, a national championship with a long history.

Gore fared better in his second round than he did in his first (he shot a 1-over 73 on Thursday) but found that his even-par 72 didn’t get him to the cut either.

“I think we’ve struck a balance of the Canadiana”, McLaughlin said in a phone interview last week. It’s 61 years and counting since a Canadian, Montreal’s Pat Fletcher, won the national open.

He is playing on a career money list exemption this season, and has had two top-10 finishes so far, already an improvement on the last two years.

Those who missed the cut at St. Andrew’s, including two-time Masters champ Bubba Watson, have had a lot of time to wait for the flight back. None could quite close the deal.

(Technically, Hearn’s shirt was a lighter hue, like a flag that has been faded by the sun, but the 64 gets him a pass on that mild transgression.). His past four tournaments have looked like this in order from most recent: T10, T6, CUT, T14.

“We’ll see what we can do”, Hearn says. “But if I keep doing what I’m doing and stay focused on that, I like my chances”.

There was plenty of fun to be had on Friday, with firm conditions repeatedly sending drives bounding down fairways and setting up birdie opportunities.

Torrential rain wiped out most play at the Senior British Open with more than half the field still to start their second round in Sunningdale, England. “It was pretty awesome”, he said. That’s what I thought I’d be lacking, is the distance with the irons and the driver. “You just come up here and they’re so polite”, Day said, shamelessly trafficking in stereotypes.

Chad Campbell has a two-stroke lead heading into the weekend. Brian Harman in turn is second at twelve under.

Hearn is now tied on 11-under with American Johnson Wagner after a superb display on Friday.

Campbell birdied all four par 5s at Glen Abbey in his bogey-free round to reach 14-under 130. Treat it like any other event.

“I’ve been fortunate to win the Australian Open and the Scottish Open, the South African Open and also here, so I’m just missing a couple big ones”, he grinned, in reference to the two majors – the British Open and U.S. Open.

“I have played all of my golf in North America and this is the first time I have played in Asia”. That course didn’t really line up with Sabbatini’s game. We’re seeing setups of late where the rough is fairly penal, and that puts a premium on getting the ball in play, or you pay a hefty price.
