Most of the world's top golfers, now take a break, before flying to Scotland for the Genesis Scottish Open, followed by the 153rd Open at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland where favoured sons Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry will be center stage.
7 Canadians at Royal Portrush, Corey Conners, Mac Hughes, Taylor Pendrith, Nick Taylor, Kevin Yu, Matt McCarty, Cameron Young.
The rank and file still have a lot to play for, points for the FedEx Cup playoffs being top of list, and they have gathered this week in Detroit for the 7th version of the Rocket Classic, Collin Morikawa at owgr #5 is the top ranked player, Cam Davis the defending champion.
Four Canadians
Adam Hadwin (#107) holds a share of the Detroit GC course record 63 in 2023 has returned, having slipped outside the world's top 100, this veteran Canuck needs a good week or two to make sure he keeps his card.
Ben Silverman #217, Adam Svensson #198 have been playing every week they are qualified for, both hoping to avoid Q School and keep their Tour cards for 2026.
Ashton McCulloch, a Canadian from Kingston, Ontario, just graduated from MSU (Michigan State University) and is one of three Spartans to receive a sponsors exemption as an amateur. He is expected to turn pro after this week.
***** This is the last year 125 players keep their Tour cards, beginning in 2026 only the top 100 will qualify.
