Puerto Rico Results....Top 10 Finish!
The Tournament was a success for our fellow Canuck Golfer!
Graham DeLaet led the field of Canadians in this weekends tournament in Puerto Rico. Graham started off the weekend very well with a eagle and birdie on the front 9 holes and a bogey and birdie on the back nine to finish with 69 at -3 for the day. This put in him in great position for Fridays round. Fridays round was much similar to that of Thursday's. However, hole #2 (the hole he eagled Thursday) wasn't as well played, he fell back with a bogey. Nevertheless the fighting Canadian birdied the next 2 holes and finished the front with a birdie and a score of 34. On the back nine he continued his consistent play and finished with a score of -2 70. This left him at 5 under par for the tournament and in great shape as the leader was at 11 under par. Saturdays round much like that of Fridays round, on the front 9 holes he had 3 birdies and 1 bogey to go out with 34 (-2), coming back in he shot2 under par leaving himself 4 under par for the day and 9 under par for the weekend. With Saturdays low round of 68 this put him within breathing room of the leader at 13 under par. Sundays round was starting off great as birdied the first two holes put him 2 under on the front 9. With a single bogey on the back nine he finished the round 1 under par. This would leave him tied for 9th place at 10 under par, his best finish this year and taking home $94, 500 US and 38 FedEx cup points.
Well Folks, that wraps up this weekends tournament and nears the end of the this blog. My final post will be in the form of a YouTube video. It will entail small synopsis of the results of these two players thus far this season.
Stay tuned for my FINAL POST!!!
Thanks for tuning in!

WGC- Cadillac Championship
WHAT A BATTLE!!!
This tournament was great right from the get go! Great rounds from all different players including Bubba Watson, Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy and Peter Hanson. But ultimately it came down the the come back of Justine Rose to beat Bubba Watson by one stroke. With Rose bogeying the last hole to finished at 16 under par, Bubba had a 10 footer on the 72nd hole to extend the match to a playoff but could not bury the putt. This would secure the "W" for Justin Rose as the 2012 WGC-Cadillac Championship winner.
Other news, Tiger Woods withdrew on the final round with a sever pain in his achilles tendon. Before the round he was at 9 under par. Obviously Sundays round was not going well as he was 3 over par before he finally withdrew himself from the competition. It will interesting to see how the media follows him in the weeks to come with his injury.
Well folks that wraps up the final post about the surrounding tournaments (outside of Graham and David's schedule) for this blog. But don't let that stop you from watching the great tournaments to come. The season still has some of best tournaments to come including:

HONDA RESULTS
The results are in from this past weekend Honda Classic Tournament. Unfortunately they are not good for our Canucks David and Graham. Neither of the guys made the cut on Friday in order to have the opportunity to play on the weekend. Thus, they did make any money on the weekend. Of the two players, Hearn finished above Graham DeLaet.
Hearn started Thursday's round on a decent note with a score of even par on the front and 1 over on the back nine to shoot a 71, one over par for the round. His second round was not well played. He started off the front 9 holes with 2 bogeys and one birdie to finish one over and the finished his round 3 over on the back nine, which left him with a score of 73 and 4 over for the tournament and put out of the tournament.
Even though DeLaet score was higher he did play more consistent. He shot a 73 on both of his rounds, Thursday and Friday. However, his frist round on Thursday would have ended even par, with a bogey on the front 9 and a birdie on the back, except for his collapse on the 17th hole par 3 where he scrambled together a triple bogey.
Regardless of their efforts, the Canucks still walked away from the tournament with their heads held high and tweeting positively, as normal. As far as the other results of the Tournament, it was a fantastic tournament to watch and a new World #1 Ranking player was named.
Skipping ahead to the Sunday action, Rory McIlroy was leading the playing field ahead of American Tom Gillis. Sitting 18 spot back was Tiger Woods and he can never be shut out from being a contender in Sundays final round. Well, once again he not let us down. Going into Sunday Tiger's score was 2 under par, 9 shot back of the leader McIlroy. Tiger started off the round with an eagle and 2 birdies on the front 9 holes with a score of 31, the back 9 holes he continued his hot streak with another 2 birdies and to add the cherry on top he eagled the 72nd hole and putting the pressure on the youngster McIlroy to earn that win. Rory started the round at 9 under par and played solid golf throughout the round. He knew he did not need to shoot a great deal sub par to win. While playing his focused round, knowing that if he won, he would secure the World #1 Ranking, he knew that Tiger was catching up. Nevertheless the Northern Ireland youngster did not let the pressure get to him (unlike last years huge collapse in the final round at the Masters). Rory went out and played good golf shooting 1 under on the front 9 holes, and even par on the back nine and ended with a 69 one under to finish the tournament with a score of -12. With this win at the Honda Classic Tournament he is now the World #1 Ranked player.
Next weekend's line up is going to be great with the Puerto Rico Open and the World Golf Championship- Cadillac Chmapionship. The Puerto Rico Open will be held at the Trump International Golf Course in Puerto Rico with our own Graham DeLaet competing and the WGC- Cadillac Championship is being held at the TPC Blue Monster at Doral in Miami, Florida with many of the top players in the world competing.
