Hello all and first my apologies for my recent dalliance with regard to my daily postings, unfortunately cancer, like it has to so many has hit a member of the family and I am doing all that is necessary to my the main supporter while we go through the surgery and recovery.
However I am keeping tabs on what's happening as we head towards the US Open, and here are the Sunday golf headlines as I see them on this rainy day in the GTA. Please use the leaderboard links to follow your favourites.
PGA Tour Memorial Tournament leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/competition/2017/the-memorial-tournament-presented-by-nationwide/leaderboard.html
Daniel Summerhays started Saturday 8 shots behind runaway leader Jason Dufner and ended the day with a three shot lead as he continues to look for his first PGA Tour win.
Dufner had set the 36 hole record, but on Saturday he shot what he called a pretty pathetic 77 which included 4 straight bogey's on the front, showing what a fickle game golf, even pro golf can be. He is 4 shots out of the lead now.
Summerhays took full advantage, playing steadily for -4 68, -13 203 total. Matt Kuchar, who hasn't won in three years but is a past winner here, looked good with a -5 67 -10 total so he will play with Summerhays today.
Canadian scores : Graham DeLaet (73) -3 total while Nick Taylor (71) is E.
LPGA Tour Shopright Classic leaderboard http://www.lpga.com/tournaments/shoprite-lpga-classic-presented-by-acer/leaderboard
Brooke Henderson is the only Canadian to make the cut T8 after a 69 put her 4 shots off the lead at -5 at this Shoprite LPGA Classic in New Jersey.
Paula Creamer and In Kyung Kim have the lead in tricky winds after each shot a -4 67 -9 total. Course specialist and two-time defending champion Anna Nordqvist has shot 64, 71 -7 with Moriya Jutanugarn, whose older sister Ariya, who has become the world #1 without even playing as Lydia Ko is also skipping the event and So Yeon Ru MC.
European Tour Nordea Masters leaderboard https://www.europeantour.com/en/europeantour/tournaments/2017/nordea-masters/#leaderboard
Lanky Englishman Chris Wood shot a -4 68 to get to -9 to start play today a shot ahead of France's Benjamin Herbert and Italy's Renato Paratore at the Nordea Masters in Malmo, Sweden.
Overnight leader Jamie Donaldson of Wales shot a two-over 75 to fall three shots off the lead after 54 holes.
Henrik Stenson was given a standing ovation by the crowd as he walked up the 18th. It was the first time the crowd in Malmo had seen him since his historic Open Championship at Royal Troon last summer.
