There may be no place like home, but Oak Hill Country Club is proving close enough for the Canadians playing in this week's PGA Championship where Corey Conners grabbed a share of the halfway lead on Friday.
A record six Canadians were in the 156-player starting field at Oak Hill, which is about a 90-minute drive from the Canadian border, and they are relishing in the support from their many compatriots who have turned up in droves this week.
The Canadian contingent at Oak Hill includes three players who have already recorded wins on the PGA Tour this season in Conners, Adam Svensson and Mackenzie Hughes. Taylor Pendrith, Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor make up the other half. "There's so much support. Tons of Canadians here, with the border being so close," said Pendrith, who is in a share of eighth place and four shots back of Conners.
Conners shot a two-under-par 68 on Friday and sits tied with world number two Scottie Scheffler and No. 11 Viktor Hovland for the lead. The only blemish on his scorecard was a bogey at the par-four seventh where his tee shot found the rough.
