Tuesday morning finals..Brooke Henderson, Stephen Ames, Jason Day...

After spending the entire past weekend working the 4pm-midnight shift I was challenged to say the least to keep up with who was doing what on the golf course but thanks to my new Samsung phone I risked the wrath of the none golfing boss to keep abreast of things.

First well done again to Brooke Henderson who was up against a red hot Sei Young Kim who was the winner after she matched Annika Sorenstam’s LPGA Tour scoring record of -27 closing with a -10 62.

Brooke finished in a T4 place at the JTBC Founders Cup in Scottsdale, Ariz., shooting  68, 69, 65, and 67 for a total of -19, good enough to win most week's.

Jason Day returned to his form of 2015 and topped a solid week off by making a clutch birdie putt on the 17th and then saving par with a great long bunker shot and putt on 18 to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational in front of a beaming AP.  He closed with a -2 70 for a one-shot victory over Kevin Chappell, who is still looking for his first win after his 150th start on the PGA Tour.

 

Good to see David Hearn with a good week, finishing with E 72 to T20 at -7 281.

 

Another great Canadian golfer, Stephen Ames also had a solid week finishing in a T4 behind Woody Austin who won the Tucson Conquistadores Classic for his first PGA Tour Champions title. Ames shot (69) -11.

 

MacKenzie Hughes was the only Canuck to make the cut at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open on the Web.com. He shot 73 T55 -2 282. Wesley Bryan from South Carolina won with a -3 68 his first victory on this tour.

 

Speaking of Mackenzie Hughes, the Mackenzie Tour Q-School returns to the Jack Nicklaus course at Reunion Resort and Spa today for the first of four qualifying tournaments this spring. 132 players will compete at the first of four qualifying tournaments for the 2016 Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada.
