_uacct = "UA-2991531-1"; urchinTracker(); Congrats to Oshawa Ontario native Jon Mills for a great year on the Nationwide tour, where he finished 4th on the money list and won his 2008 tour card by finishing in the top 25. He finished the year with one victory, and pocketed a nifty $366K for the year. It will be the second trip to the “big show” for Jon, who played the 2006 season, but finished a disappointing 227th on the money list. [Read more] [Read more]

_uacct = "UA-2991531-1"; urchinTracker(); From the Vancouver Sun “During the question-and-answer period after a rousing speech to Callaway equipment representatives a couple of days after the Presidents Cup, Gary Player was asked about Canadian golfers he had known — about the legendary Moe Norman and George Knudson. The context was, of course, Mike Weir’s place among them in the ranks of the greatest Canadians ever to pick up a golf club. Player wasn’t having any of the Moe Norman argument. “Yes, he could hit a ball perfectly straight … on a practice range,” Player said of golf’s Rain Man, over breakfast at Club de Golf Le Fontainebleau in suburban Montreal. “But what did he win?”... [Read more]

_uacct = "UA-2991531-1"; urchinTracker(); Last week I congratulated Danny King for advancing to the second stage of Q-School. At the time, I thought he was the only Canadian to advance, but I see that 6 more Canadians actually advanced. I guess I just missed seeing Lee Curry, Adam Speirs and Dustin Risdon but James Love (Calgary, AB) was listed as being from Denver CO, and Graham DeLaet(Weyburn, SK) from Boise, ID. In addition to the list posted on the scoregolf site, 9 other Canadians, also advanced during the second week of the first stage. So here are the results for all fifteen of the Canadians : The scores were quite a bit higher at the Lantana TX site, where the famous Texas winds were apparently in force. Ben Ferguson Ancaster, Ont. Peter... [Read more]

Congrats to Danny King of Milton Ontario as he advances to the second stage of Q- School qualifying after posting a 4 under 284 at the CypressWood GC in Spring TX. After opening with a shaky round of 73 and and a presumably not so fun 76, he finished strong with rounds of 68 and 67 to finish tied for tenth. Dave Schultz, Fargo, ND was medallist at -12 276. Twenty six spots were awarded with even par being the number for the last players to advance. [Read more]

Heading into the weekend play for the Ginn sur Mer Classic, a number of players are in position to possibly “save their year”, and gain coveted exempt status for the 2008 season. The Leaders Bob Estes, and Tommy Armour don’t have too much to worry about, with Estes at #118 and Armour at #113, but Steve Lowery and Michael Sim, both currently tied for fourth on the leader board and #148 and #177 respectively on the money list, would both dearly love a high finish, if not the victory (of course). There are around thirty players within ten strokes of the lead, with about half the field, yet to start their second round after rain postponed the completion of the secound round Friday. Many of the players in the field this week are... [Read more]
