This weeks event on the US Tour is the Canadian Open. I will post a full preview on tomorrows site but for now enjoy some of the fantastic highlights over the years from this special tournament. Who will ever forget Tigers six iron to the 18th or the heartache in seeing Mike Weir come so close to winning his national championship only to see his dream shattered by a visit to the water on the 18th. Lets hope this week has more drama in store for us.
It is unfortunate that the Canadian Open has lost some of its prestige over the last few years (use to be know as the 5th major). Because as you stated there have been some fantastic golf moments.
This years open was at one of Canada’s top golf clubs.
Moving it around to other venues in Canada I hope will bring back the players and its luster.
What was the reason for the loss in prestige? Has the tournament moved in terms of timing in the year. Being so close to the British Open must be something of a hindrance I imagine?
