Am I the only one who feels that the multitude of low scores posted today reflects badly on our national open? This resembles more the Podunk Invitational. If the RCGA wants to revitalize the Canadian Open, then they should play this historic event only on golf courses that are capable to truly testing the field. Angus Glen, which is no doubt a nice course, is not up to snuff in that regard.
Absolutely agree. They've put some nice courses into the rotation since leaving Glen Abbey, but I can't believe they went back to Angus Glen, and the North course at that. Also nice of Davis Love to take $250K to reshape it and prepare it for the Open, and then not even bother to show up.Quote:

Royal Montreal was/is a great course that truly tested the players in '97. Steve Jones won at -5. 7 players under par.
Mike shot a smooth -4 this morning and is now at -5. Currently sitting in 22nd place.
Pretty good showing considering the pressure he was under to make the cut yesterday, plus all the media hype etc he has to go through during the week.
:thumbsup T27 for Mike after the dust settled at Angus Glen this afternoon :)
He needs a strong finish Sunday to gain some more President Cups points.
I think he'll continue to play well and continue to get points, but at this point I think he's made the team.Quote:

I can't wait to go see the Presidents cup, and i'll be shocked if Weir isn't there.
