After a disappointing end to last week’s PGA Tour Canada Dakota Dunes Casino Open, I was back on the Monday qualifying trail for this week’s event. This week’s PGA Tour Canada event is played in Fort McMurray, home to the Canadian Oil sands and sponsored by Syncrude. I teed it up this morning very confident and determined to get into this week’s field. Despite missing the cut by one shot last week, the experience injected me with a significant shot of confidence and focus.

I hit my driver spectacularly en route to a -3, 69 with two bogies that came after decisions to leave driver in the bag off the tee. This score was good enough for a t-4 finish with 8 spots available. This week, I will continue my solid play and have another great chance to advance my career at the Syncrude Boreal Open.
