This week I’ve been up in Victoriaville, Quebec at the Canada Cup. This is my biggest event of the summer with the purse being $176,000 ($30,000 to the winner.)
It’s a different world up here. I played in the pro-am on Wednesday and one member of my group spoke no English while the other two spoke bits and pieces. It’s even tough to go out and eat because everything is written in French. What a cool experience though.
The tournament is taking place Thursday to Sunday so I just finished round 2. I shot even par 72 the first round and was outside the cut line, which would mean if I didn’t play better I would have drove 14 hours essentially for nothing. Quite a lot of pressure when you know you have to play well. I just wanted to get off to a good start in round two this afternoon and I did. I birdied the first hole and didn’t look back, finishing the day shooting -8 64. As of right now, I’m in third and hopefully the last group tomorrow. They say that between 5000-10000 spectators come out to watch the weekend so it should be an incredible experience!
They do live scoring for this event so the link to follow along is: https://ccpt.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/agpq16/event/agpq1626/contest/1/leaderboard.htm
Looking forward to the weekend for sure. Play well or bad, it should be an awesome experience!
