DeLaet and Scott looking for a big Sunday.

Graham DeLaet and Richard Scott are right in contention for their first wins as we head into this Sunday.

DeLaet who sat out the majority of the 2011 campaign due to a back injury, is playing the 2012 season out of the Major Medical Extension category and has 26 events to earn $657,694. He already has over $204,000 in 11 events this year.

Rounds of 68 67 66 -15 have him in the last pairing at this Zurich Classic with Jason Dufner 67 65 67 -17, who is also looking for his first win after 3 runner up finishes.

DeLaet, currently ranked 501 in the world says he is happy with his game this week, particularly his iron play, can go low as he proved in his first event of the year in Hawaii when he opened with a 63. His career low is 62, and his best finish on tour was T3 last year at the Shell Houston Open.

The field is tightly bunched, so someone will have to go low to catch Dufner and emerge from the pack. 10 players are within 6 shots in perfect conditions in New Orleans including Luke Donald at -12 and Ernie Els at -14.

David Hearn, our top ranked Canadian at #242 is 10 shots back at -7.

Meanwhile in Valdosta, Georgia at the South Georgia Classic on the Nationwide Tour, Richard Scott of Kingsville, Ontario ranked #842 is T5 69 70 69 -8  just 4 shots behind the leader Woodie Austin 74 66 64 -12 and Luke List 67 68 69 -12.

Scott, the former #1 amateur in the world, won our Canadian Amateur 3 times in his glorious amateur career which included captaining the University of Georgia golf team to the 2005 NCAA Championship. He is playing his 4th Nationwide event of the year.

Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C. is 9 shots back after 71 and former winner Bryan DeCorso of Guelph, Ont., had a tough 78 to sit last in the field.
