The RBC Canadian Open will be played at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Ontario, Canada this week. The Jack Nicklaus-designed course will play as a par-72 measuring 7,273 yards for the event.

The field this week is set to consist of Bubba Watson, Jason Day, Matt Kuchar, Graeme McDowell and two-time RBC Canadian Open champion Jim Furyk, although The Open Championship’s Monday finish at St. Andrews in Scotland may have an impact on participation.

Last year, Tim Clark shot a final-round 65 at Royal Montreal, where he birdied five of his last eight holes to beat out Furyk by one stroke. Clark is back this year to defend his title.

I can't wait for this week. Our national Open in Canada. I'm hopeful for DeLaet or any other Canadian players to win this week. It's been since 1954 that a Canadian won the Canadian Open.

They should've more courses in the rotation since there's so much great courses across the country, for example from Cabot Cliffs in PEI, Muskoka Bay Club, north of Toronto, to Point Grey in Vancouver. Also, they should move the Canadian Open to June to get more star players travel North of the Border... :)

I'm mostly rooting for David Hearn but it would also be fun if someone like Mark Leishman won.

I'd like to see the Canadian Open played at the Kananaskis golf course.

A Canadian hasn't won since 1872 so that would be nice if one could take it.

If that is true then WOW!  I hate to laugh but is kind of sad. Forget the fact that there are not many Canadian golfers. They have had 143 years to win it just one time? Hard to believe. If a Canadian does win it, there should be a Stanly Cup style celebration.

Looks like it was actually in 1954, Pat Fletcher according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Open_(golf)

We have a ton of golfers in Canada but not too many seem to make it to the highest levels sadly.Graham DeLaet is our current hopeful I think!

Should have known that RJH99 was hitting the bong when he said that. 9 Canadians in the tourney this year.

The PGA site's leaderboard now shows Graham DeLaet as withdrawn. I guess his thumb got worse overnight.

That sucks partly because it means more pressure on Hearn. Maybe Adam Hadwin will step up to the challenge but I'm not holding my breath.

Caught some of it on TV yesterday, I love the tall trees surrounding most holes on the course, a very different feel from most tour venues, seems very laid back compared to the intensity of The Open last week.

Hearn looks like he's handling it well. A smooth 63, three back of Chad Campbell who was on fire today.

Ya Hearn with a 8 under second round is great news.

It's good to see Chad Campbell playing well. I think for the last couple of years he has been playing on the Web.com tour.

An 18 yo 5' 8" 130(?) pound wimpy no omph weakling (sarcasm/inside joke) made the cut. You go Austin Connelly. Shot a 65 2nd round.

Unless he goes full on dumbass tomorrow, David Hearn will become the first Canadian to win their national open since '54.

I'm not saying Hearn won't win it, on the other hand. No way do I put money down saying he will.

Just a FYI, Binghamton Senators fan here.  Seen quite a few games up there.  Someday, I'd like to take a little longer trip to see the big boys play.

Hearn looks like he's handling it well. A smooth 63, three back of Chad Campbell who was on fire today.

I would probably be a mini mob scene if he does pull it off.   Not to wish any ill will on anyone, he does have two big guns breathing down his neck.  I think one of those two will take the prize.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
