Below is a list of how Canadian golfers fared across the major professional tours the week prior.
PGA TOUR
Justin Thomas rallied from three shots back to win THE PLAYERS Championship, becoming just the fourth player to win a major, THE PLAYERS Championship, the FedEx Cup and a World Golf Championship. He is the 14th player since 1960 to win 14 times on the PGA TOUR before turning 28, joining Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Johnny Miller. After being outside the cut line through nine holes on Friday, Thomas shot 64-68 over the weekend to equal the lowest final 36-hole score in tournament history. Lee Westwood birdied the final hole to finish runner-up for the second straight week. Bryson DeChambeau, last week’s winner, finished in a tie for third. A total of 66 balls – including 35 in the first round alone – found the water this weekend at the par-3 17th green at TPC Sawgrass. …Corey Conners, making just his second career start at The Players, posted back-to-back top 10 results for the first time since Nov. 2020. His final round 66 equaled the low round total of the day. …Adam Hadwin has yet to find the water on the par-3 17th green in his last 20 shots. …Nick Taylor went par-par-birdie-birdie at No. 17 this week.
