MMO: Champions in Montreal

Monday morning the observer: 50 and above Edition * one of the biggest events in golf this year in Canada begins today. I know what it is? The Montreal Championship, an event Champions Tour was a success in its first year, you will receive this week with a dozen pro-ams, and then the same tournament Starting Friday. It is a bit of a surprise that this is more carefully than I do but organizers do the best they can, in order to expose the tournaments in all regions of Canada this year. The field, including defending champion Larry Mize, is very strong with Tom Kite, Tom Lehman, John Cook, Hale Irwin and Canadians Yvan Beauchemin, Danny Best, Rod spittle and Jim Rutledge competing. * Let's see ... a week ago, Rory McIlroy wins the U.S. open by eight shots and was front-page news. Yesterday, Yani Tseng captures the Wegmans LPGA Championship by a mere 10 strokes and relegated to the back pages. For Tseng, was the fourth principal and only 22. Deserves a larger story. Oh and if you walk around Niagara Falls today, you may encounter Tseng, who was planning to visit. * CONGRATS to Mackenzie Hughes, of Dundas, Ont, which won the games Glencoe Kinnear at the weekend. The high-profile event, held at the Glencoe G and CC, is annually one of the best fields in amateur golf. Hughes, a member of the national team, had a lot of time. He won the Championship in the Mid-American Conference, while playing for Kent State and helped lead the school in the title of the group. * Credit To RBC and Bill Paul on lining up a stellar field for the RBC Canadian open in the next month. Seems to be one of the strongest since the Panhellenic Championship got saddled with the open date right-after-the-UK. Of course having six golfers from the higher profile of the game under a contract never hurts. Anyone grumbles that appearance money would have to look around as RBC only plays the same game as any other tournaments in attracting top flight players. Now with players in order of their followers will appear? The last time, at least not in large enough numbers to turn a profit. * Speaking of open, look for Matt Hill and Nick Taylor to officially take exceptions to the Canadian open this week, RBC. Our Tournament Director said, we come to life on Saturday morning radio program in Toronto that he would extend the offer to two young pros this week. * CONGRATS to Danny Sahl, who eventually won a Canadian tour event in his 80th test. Sahl, who spent two-and-a-half years as a PGA Tour caddy for Ben Curtis, occupied the Arctic open Syncrude in Fort McMurray. Perseverance is profitable. * I spent much of last week on Windows XP and you can see all four lessons there (though not affected a snapshot) and everything is in top shape, but could use a break in the weather. There is a great news is that the Whistler Golf Club will be re-doing the Greens starting later this year. The improvement will allow the process to have the best Greens earlier (and later) the year of the mountain environment.
