Below is a list of how Canadian golfers fared across the major professional tours the week prior.
PGA TOUR
Branden Grace holed out for eagle on the par-4 17th and birdied the par-5 18th for a one-stroke victory at the Puerto Rico Open.

Jhonattan Vegas finished second. The tournament was played opposite the World Golf Championship event in Florida. Grace earned a two-year PGA Tour exemption and a spot in the PGA Championship in May, but not the Masters in April. …Roger Sloan posted his second best result of the PGA Tour season. …Taylor Pendrith’s opening round 66 was just one shot off the low round of the day. He was making just his fifth career PGA Tour start. …Michael Gligic snapped a string of six straight missed cuts. …Quebec golfer Yohann Benson failed to qualify for the tournament, losing in a three-way playoff for the final spot at the Monday qualifier. …Adam Svensson took part in the Monday qualifying tournament for the PGA’s Puerto Rico Open and missed qualifying for a three-man playoff for the final spot in the tournament by one stroke
