Tim Clark targets ”fun week” for Canadian Open defence

That’s a world of difference from the wind-beaten, rain-soaked British Open that was forced to finish Monday. “I made a couple long putts, which always helps”. Congrats to those who cashed in last week at DraftKings!

Chad Campbell didn’t feel like he was approaching history during the second round of the Canadian Open. Enjoy the picks…

“I’ve played the last four years on the European Tour so I’m used to being on the leaderboard or in contention or having a good chance at a tournament”, he said.

The Honourable Bal Gosal, Minister of State (Sport), today announced $150,000 in funding for Golf Canada in support of the 2015 RBC Canadian Open.

I can’t seem to find definitive TV coverage but it should be typical for this middle-of-the-road tournament on the schedule. It’s my first PGA Tour event.

David Hearn was five questions into his news conference at Glen Abbey on Wednesday when he was asked about 1954.

Anders Romero ($6,200) – This is a great cheap pick for this week in my opinion.

Clark, who had to skip the British Open because of visa problems, has missed time on the PGA Tour over the last few years with a nagging elbow problem. That includes a T21 in 2013 at this week’s course. While a left thumb injury hampered Graham DeLaet during his even-par round, Hearn and Svensson are very much in contention. He’s never been in the Canadian Open, but he’s a top-notch player in the field. This is my favorite cheap DraftKings pick for the Canadian Open. Weir is too competitive to be merely a ceremonial golfer, and it wouldn’t have served any good objective for him to keep playing this season, with a 74.8 stroke average. Donald is familiar with Glen Abbey playing in the tournament the last two years the Canadian Open has been held here. (He missed the cut.). I feel like I’m hitting the ball well enough to win golf tournaments. Mike Weir, the 2003 Masters victor who withdrew for personal reasons to take a leave of absence from golf, came the closest when he was a playoff runner-up to Vijay Singh in 2004. Day hasn’t played this event since 2009, and his prior two trips to Canada failed to yield top-40 finishes. I wish him lots of time to see his Yellow Jackets on The ACC Television Football Network produced by the Fox Golf team (coming to a dark web near you).

“Should we treat it as a commercial exercise or an exercise of putting on the best event that the players love that may not be the best commercial success?” Paul typically starts reserving spots three months in advance, but players’ plans are often in flux. Those scores show we can expect a lot of birdies again this year.
