The Canucks finished
another weekend…..only this time their scorecards matched up pretty close.
After a long weekend at the Northern Trust Open Graham and David each finished
the tournament tied for 44th spot at +4 (288). Graham DeLaet started
off the tournament on Thursday with a score of 2 over par 73 while David Hearn
started off the week with a -1 70. After the first round Hearn was amongst the
top of the leader board. Friday’s score flopped between the players when DeLaet
shot -3 and Hearn shot +1. Regardless of
their mediocre scores, both players made the cut and would be able to play on
the weekend. The cut was made at 3 over par and after two round and the
Canadian boys were in the clear with scores of -1 and +1. Saturdays round
resulted in both players shooting over par. DeLaet shot 2 over while Hearn
continued to struggle shooting 3 over par. Sunday’s play resulted in Hearn
earning his birdies but the bogeys he had caught up with him and he finished at
even par for the day and 4 over for the tournament. Graham DeLaet let the front
9 get the best of him shooting 5 over but he got back a couple shots on the
back 9 finishing 3 over par and 4 over par for the tournament. This left the
boys tied for 44th spot in the tournament.
Overall, watching some
of the tournament it looked like the boys had a good tournament. They made some
great shots but also let some of the holes get the best of them. Once again
they did not let down their followers on Twitter and continued to tweet
different things surrounding the tournament. Interesting note: Graham DeLaet
tweeted after the tournament that he is excited to go home finally, as he has
not been home since December 30th, 2011 #frustrated.
Currently on the FedEx
cup points list Graham DeLaet leads between the Canucks with a spot of 96th
which puts him in the top 100 Deutsche Bank group, while David Hearn sits in 74th
spot also putting him in the Deutsche Bank group.
Other news from the
Tournament, Phil Mickelson continued his strong play as he finished tied for 2nd
with Keegan Bradley as those two and Bill Haas went to a playoff to finish the
tournament. Bill Haas won on the second playoff as he made a 45 foot birdie
putt to win the tournament and take home over $1.18 million.
After researching information from the tournament, I find a piece of a blog from reporter Bob Weekes and his conversations with the two Canuck players.
"Both David Hearn and Graham DeLaet are playing the LA Open for the first time this week and both said they adjusted their schedules to accommodate the event due to the reputation of the course. Hearn said it was a tough decision because he enjoys Pebble Beach but had to find a week off somewhere. DeLaet was wide-eyed when I asked him how he liked the course. He specifically referred to the 10th hole as a great short par 4. We’ll see if this enthusiasm works itself into a good finish."
Finally, I have found a highlight video from this past weekends tournament of a great chip from Graham.
That concludes this past weekends Tournament. I have also posted the link to the Northern Trust website in case anyone was interested in any other information surrounding the tournament.
Next weekends PGA Tournament is Mayakoba Golf Classic held as the El Camaleon Golf Club in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Only one of the boys will be in attendance at this tournament as David Hearn looks to rack up some points and Graham DeLaet heads home for some recovery. Stay tuned for pre tournament info and results follow the weekend.
That's all for now. Cheers!
