Freddie is playing the Canadian Open

[dbuck]

Reckon why Freddie is playing the Canadian Open as opposed to the US Senior Open?

[AceDunk]

Maybe he doesn't feel senior enough to deserve the US Senior Open Champion title.

[enis750]

because he sponsored by RBC...who is the title sponsor for this event....just a guess.....

[ufbbc]

I don't know but I am rooting for him. He has always been one of my favorites.

It's a great golf course, and he said that it set up really well for him.

I've played there many times, and still play when I go back to Toronto to visit my parents. It's an awesome classic design that really requires you to think, and place your shots... a style of golf I'm sure Freddy likes quite a bit.

actually, it's more like he's getting played by the canadian open. freddie is not playing well this week.

The US Senior Open doesn't start until the 29th. It is in Seattle - no way he'll miss it. I'm sure the RBC sponsorship is the reason he's playing the Canadian, but it should be a good warmup for the tree lined fairways at Sahalee as well.

[BallStriker]

Yes, the US Senior Open is next week...he wouldn't miss it for anything...in fact, the sole reason it is being playing in the Seattle area is Freddy Couples.....planned years ago.

It's a well run tournament at a good venue. Plus it's a national championship - sponsors come and go, but national championships will always mean something. Or at least, they should.

Uh, actually I was a bit schedule challenged/confused- had the dates mixed up.

Anyway, I am pulling for Freddie too, and the St George's course looks great.
