Furyk Aces Canadian Open

Jim Furyk birdied two of the first three holes Sunday and then knocked his 5 iron tee shot on the fourth hole into the cup from 209 yards away for the lead. He went on to defeat Vijay Singh by a single shot when Mr. Singh’s birdie putt to tie on the 18th hole raced five feet by the hole. The difference for the week was the par 3 fourth, which Mr. Furyk played in only 7 strokes over the four days of the tournament while Mr. Singh required 15 shots over the same span. The win was Mr. Furyk’s first in the last twenty events he’s played and allowed him to become the first repeat champion of the Canadian Open since Jim Ferrier in 1951.

Jim Furyk birdied two of the first three holes then knocked in his tee shot on the 209 yard fourth hole for the lead at 13 under. "Tough pin," Furyk said. "To be able to fly a 5-iron back there on the fringe, have it release out and go in the hole is, obviously, a special bonus." The fourth proved the crucial hole in the tournament as Mr. Furyk played the hole in 7 strokes over four days, while runner up Vijay Singh needed 15 strokes. "Eight strokes, that’s a huge turnaround on one hole," said Furyk, the first player to successfully defend a Canadian Open title since Jim Ferrier in 1951.

Mr. Furyk bogeyed the 18th hole to make the finish interesting and was obviously relieved when Mr. Singh’s birdie attempt to force a playoff scooted five feet by the hole. Mr. Furyk also removed all doubt whether he’d return next year to again defend his title. "We’ll see you next year," the crowd favorite told the cheering fans gathered around the 18th green Sunday for the trophy presentation.

The question in Hamilton was whether Furyk would return to the event, stuck in a tough new schedule slot after the British Open and before the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and PGA Championship. "Wasn’t the first question this year, but still got asked," Furyk said. "I really feel like you should always come back and defend your championship. I had a lot of people thank me for coming back, which to me is kind of like, `I appreciate it, but I feel like it’s thanking me for something that you should do.’ If that makes sense?" Which indeed it does.

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
