Your weekend golf story, live leaderboards.

Here's all you need to now about what's happening in golf this weekend, including news of Stephen Ames, Adam Hadwin and Brooke Henderson, all in contention.

PGA Tour Arnold Palmer Invitational leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/competition/2017/arnold-palmer-invitational-presented-by-mastercard/leaderboard.html

With pair of 70's Adam Hadwin is T10 at -4, six shots out of the lead held by Charlie Hoffman (68 66 -10) as play gets underway this morning in Orlando at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Hadwin admits life has been " a bit of a blur" since he won the Valspar Championship last week. It's not everyday he gets texts from the Prime Minister or Wayne Gretzky !

David Hearn is currently T35 with rounds of 70 73 -1 and he is on course at E through 5 holes. Both Graham DeLaet 76 73 and MacKenzie Hughes 79 72 joined the likes of Henrik Stenson missing the cut which fell at +3.

After rounds of 74 71 Rory McIlroy is -5 through 13 holes on today's round while his pal Rickie Fowler (74 72) is in the clubhouse with a sparkling -7 65 and is currently T8.

PGA Tour Champions Tuscon Conquistadores Classic leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/champions/tournaments/tucson-conquistadores-classic/leaderboard.html

Stephen Ames is back in the news after his -6 67 left him 2 shots off the lead held by Freddie Couples (64 -8). Couples is 57 now and playing a limited schedule depending how his ailing back is holding up. He won the Chubb Classic last month so is in good form with the Masters right around the corner.

Rod Spittle had an E 73 T55. Old timers reading this will remember Tuscon has another Canadian connection with Ian Leggatt and the late George Knudsen winning there.

LPGA Tour Bank of Hope Founders Cup leaderboard http://www.lpga.com/tournaments/bank-of-hope-founders-cup/leaderboard

Brooke Henderson is in Phoenix for the Founders Cup and with rounds of 69 67 she is T30 at -8 five  shots off the lead held by Ariya Jutanugarn and Stacy Lewis who both shot 64 67 -13.

In other Canadian news Maude Aimee LeBlanc, Alena Sharp, Augusta James and Jennifer Ha all missed the cut which fell a -4. LeBlanc missed despite shooting a 64 yesterday.

Nice to see Sandra Post being honoured yesterday along with Hollis Stacy as one of the pioneers who have had the greatest impact on the LPGA Tour and women's golf.


In other news, Ally Tidcombe who is from a place called Wolfville N.S, is at -5 through 15 holes T4 down in Guatemala at the Stellar Artois Championship on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica. http://www.pgatour.com/la/en/tournaments/guatemala-stella-artois-open/leaderboard.html

Meanwhile earlier in the week on the NCAA circuit Canada’s top-ranked female amateur Maddie Szeryk  won the Dr. Donnis Invitational in Hawaii by 4 shots 67 71 69 -9 total for her second NCAA victory. She is attending Texas A&M.
