Conditions were no doubt optimal for scoring, especially during the today's round, where the low round of the day was a 63, incidentally shot by both Furyk and DeLaet.
According to many golf experts and analysts, if a Canadian were to win their Open, the odds are that it would be Graham DeLaet, who is without question the top Canadian in mens professional golf at the moment, being ranked 38th in the World Golf Rankings. As we've seen in the past two days, he sure does have the skills and game needed to win.
RBC apart from being the title sponsor of the Canadian Open also sponsor a number of players on the PGA, such as Matt Kuchar, Graeme McDowell, Jim Furyk, Ernie Ells, etc. A good number of these players are doing pretty well in the tournament, such as Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell.
As for our picks, here is how they are doing:
1) Graeme McDowell: T5 at 7-under (-7)
2) Aaron Baddeley: CUT
3) Charl Schwartzel: T37 at 2-under (-2)
Mike Weir: T63 at even par (E)
Graeme McDowell has been doing pretty well, shooting a 68 65, which included a chip-in eagle during his first round. We're hoping he can hold onto this good position and hopefully win! If Graeme can't do it, the hopefully the other Graham can win, of course Graham DeLaet. A Canadian winning the Canadian Open would be something special.
Simply put, the first two rounds of the Canadian Open have been nothing short of exciting. Stay tuned to see who will win the tournament come Sunday evening.
