The Saturday story.. live leaderboards, top stories..

Here is the Saturday story on this beautiful Labour Day weekend, full of a lot of golfing news and storylines as usual. there are two events in Canada, the LPGA in Cambridge and the Champions in Calgary.

Here are the live leaderboards and  top story's, with scores for all the Canadians included.

PGA Tour Deutsche Bank Championship leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/deutsche-bank-championship/leaderboard.html

Play is underway in round 2 and this morning Smylie Kaufman was on a tear, with 5 birdies and an eagle in his first 7 holes on TPC Boston to lead the field at -10. He fell back a bit with bogey's at 8 and 9 but still went out in 31 and is currently T2 -8

The early wave has ideal weather, little lefty Brian Harmon leads at -9 and is -6 today thru 14 holes.

David Hearn and Adam Hadwin opened with -3 68s and this morning David is -2 thru 5, -5 total T6, while Adam is +3 thru 7 including a double bogey 7 on the par 5 2nd.

The day started with Ryan Moore and James Hahn in the lead after opening rounds of -6 65. After one round at the TPC Boston, 37 players were separated by only three shots. Remember this event ends on Monday.


LPGA Tour Manulife Classic leaderboard http://www.lpga.com/tournaments/manulife-lpga-classic/leaderboard

It's going to take some good scoring from one of the four Canadians who made the cut to catch leader, American Marina Alex who is at -10 after she eagled her final hole for an -8 64 for the halfway lead of the LPGA Manulife Classic.

Brooke Henderson shot 71 and is T46 at -3 alongside Anne Catherine Tanguay (69) and she summed up her day like this: “Not exactly what I was looking for, but that birdie on my last hole kind of made me feel a lot better about the day, which is always nice, and -3 I can’t complain too much.”

Alena Sharp shot 70 -5 total T12 as she continues to play her best golf, while Maude-Aimée Leblanc shot 71 T22nd at -4.

By the way, another news worthy story, and not a good one is that Michelle Wie missed the cut by a stroke and this former superstar has missed 12 of 20 cuts this season and has fallen all the way to 112th on the money list.


PGA Tour Champions Shaw Charity Classic leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/champions/tournaments/shaw-charity-classic/leaderboard.html

Opening day in Calgary was interrupted by heavy rain, thunder, and lightning and Canyon Meadows GC was turned into a dart board.

When they added them all up it was " Frosty," David Frost who made two eagles on his way to -8 62 to take the first-round lead in the PGA Tour Champions’ Shaw Charity Classic. The tournament record is 61 set by Fred Couples and Miguel Angel Jimenez.

Defending champion Jeff Maggert and Argentina’s Jose Coceres shot -7 63s while
Tom Byrum had a 64, and Tom Watson, Bernhard Langer, Mark Calcavecchia, Mark Brooks, Fred Funk and Kirk Triplett shot 65, amazingly Watson turns 67 this weekend.

Canadians : Rod Spittle had a -2 68 T34, Jim Rutledge -1 69 T48th, and Stephen Ames at 70 is well back T59.


European Tour Omega European Masters leaderboard http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2016/tournamentid=2016068/leaderboard/index.html

There aren't many more beautiful places in the world than Crans Montana in the Swiss Alps and round 3 of the European Masters is already in the books with Scott Hend in the lead after an impressive 65 got him to -13 for a one shot lead over Alex Noren who fired a 66 to get to -12.

Richard Bland is next at -10 after his 69, and at -9 are Alejandro Cañizares, Mikko Ilonen, Andrew Johnston and Romain Langasque.

Aussie veteran Hend is enjoying a renaissance in 2016 so far, winning the True Thailand Classic earlier and then representing his country at the Men's Olympic Golf Competition.
