Weather hits Canadian open

The PGA Tour’s hopes of completing both remaining rounds of the delayed RBC Canadian Open were again scuppered by the weather in Ontario.

Having taken three days to play the first two rounds, 36 holes had been scheduled today but leader Jason Dufner had played only six holes of his third round when proceedings were again halted by storms.

The American had shot to the top of the leaderboard with a nine-under-par round of 63 yesterday to move to 13 under and he added a birdie at the second today to stay just ahead of the pack.

Leading the charge was rising star Anthony Kim, who went out in 31 to trail by one at 13 under alongside Jerry Kelly, who was one under through six.

South Africa’s Retief Goosen was the leading name in a group of five players two behind while DA Points made the best start to today to climb to 11 under.

The American birdied eight of his first 14 holes, although his card was marred slightly by a double bogey at the 11th – his second.

Colombia’s Camilo Villegas and Scot Martin Laird saw their challenge fall away, Villegas going through seven holes in two over to drop to eight under while Laird was one worse off.

England’s Luke Donald, who finished tied fifth at the Open last weekend, continued his steady progress with three birdies in eight holes to join Laird at seven under.
