Four Canadians made the cut, including Mike Weir of Bright’s Grove, Ont., who at one point during the day sat as high as a tie for third on the leaderboard. Weir posted a second round 5-under 67 and will play Glen Abbey this weekend alongside Roger Sloan of Merritt, B.C., Brad Fritsch of Ottawa, Ont., and David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., who birdied his last three holes to make the cut on the number
Weir is off at 11.17...Remember the early starts have posted the best scores taking advantage of fresh greens and still conditions..
updating *****140pm
The rain delay that was called at 1200pm was brief here at Glen Abbey, the field is back on the course as scheduled after 80-minutes ..The leaders. John Merrick and Hunter Mahan will now tee off at 2:50 p.m. ET. Barring another delay, it the field should easily complete the third round before darkness falls later Saturday
Scoring was already low from the the get go and the rain came down hard so I expect the greens to be softer and the course a little longer
Scores... Mike Weir was-2 thru 6 -7 total, David Hearn shot -4 68 -5 total.... Roger Sloan is -2 at 17 -6 total and Brad Fritsch has WD..
DJohnson -7 today thru 16 -9...Schwarzel and Chad Campbell both -6 66 -7... Ernie Els shot -5 67 -6..
As I said scoring is low, it looks like it's playing to par 70 instead of 72.... expect Mahan to take advantage this afternoon..
updating ****6pm
* Hunter Mahan has WD as his wife has pre maturely gone into labour...She was not due for a month and he was leading the tournament..
* golfcanada Brandt Snedeker capitalized on Hunter Mahan’s surprise withdrawl from the RBC Canadian Open on Saturday, firing a third round 9-under 63 to head into Sunday’s final round with a one-stroke lead.
After an early weather delay at Glen Abbey Golf Club softened conditions and halted play on Saturday, the field opened up as Mahan withdrew to fly home to Texas to be with his wife for the birth of their child.
A 1-time winner on tour this season, Snedeker took advantage of the Abbey’s generous conditions and the leader’s withdrawl, running off nine birdies in his bogey-free 63 that was highlighted by a 29 on his opening nine.

As a 2-time runner-up already this season, David Lingmerth of Sweden, trails Mahan by a single stroke after making an eagle on the par-5 18th to card a third round 7-under 65. Sitting only two strokes behind in a tie for third are also, Matt Kuchar and Jason Bohn.

Leading the charge for the Canadians was David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., who carded a 4-under 68 to currently sit in a tie for 39th at 5-under-par. Mike Weir (73)only trails Hearn by two at 3-under, while Merritt, B.C., native, Roger Sloan (72), sits in a tie for 62nd at 2-under par.
Before play began on Saturday, Ottawa’s Brad Fritsch who was sitting at 2-under for the tournament, was forced to withdraw due to back pain.
Play begins at 800am with the leaders due to go out at 140pm... Weather forecast, cool, clear, breezy...no rain
