As this frigid snowy February weekend dawns in the GTA, 3 Canadians are excelling in much warmer climes around the world.
Here are their stories with live scoreboards for you to follow.
PGA Tour AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/at-t-pebble-beach-pro-am/leaderboard.html
Let's start in southern California on the spectacular Monterey Peninsula where the weather has co-operated this week at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Nick Taylor has the lead at -14. 64 at Monterey GC and 66 at Pebble Beach. Today the wind is up a little and he is at Spyglass GC, the toughest of the 3, and I think this will be his hardest challenge this week as he pursues his 1st win in 6 years.
He has just one bogey in 36 holes, all parts of his game are working including the all important putter. He birdied 4 of the last 5 at PB yesterday and made a few solid par savers in the middle of his round.
He starts on the more difficult back nine.
Chasing pack : Phil Mickelson 68 64 -11 (PB today) Jason Day 67 64 -12 (SH today) Chris Baker 69 64 -10 (SH today), Charl Schwartzel 67 66 -10 (SH today) Dustin JJohnson 69 65 -9 (PB today)
Canadians: Michael Gligic T89 E, Adam Hadwin T89 E, Mac Hughes T112 +2, David Hearn T37 +5....The cut is projected at -2.
LPGA Tour ISPS Handa Vic Open leaderboard https://www.lpga.com/leaderboard
Alena Sharp is looking for her first ever win after 15 years on the LPGA Tour and she is in a great spot to make it tomorrow at this windy ISPS Handa Vic Open. With rounds of 68 69 70 -10 she is 3rd, just 2 shot off the lead by Ayean Cho at -12.
In a post round interview she said lessons with her Australian coach in mid January concentrated on keeping the ball flight down in this wind which she did and combined with solid putting and encouraging advice from her mental coach she seems to be ready to compete tomorrow. She and her partner/caddy are staying with friends which as kept things light and happy off the course.
The final cut yesterday has left just 35 players for the last round. On the men's side Aaron Cockerill who opened so well with 66 has missed the final cut after a 77 yesterday.
If you are watching you'll see the women and men playing the same course spectators walk the fairways with the players, and their dogs if they want.
Korn Ferry Tour Bogota Championship leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/korn-ferry-tour/leaderboard.html
With rounds of 66 66 -9 Taylor Pendrith is T6 just 3 shots off the lead at this Bogota Championship.
The leader is Camilo Villegas 64 65 -12, along with American John Vandarlaan. You'll remember the young Colombian who made the spiderman pose famous for reading his putts. Injuries have sidelined his career.
