ROCHESTER, New York : 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.
It has been 20 years since Mike Weir won the Masters to become Canada's first male major champion but the impact of his achievement, which grew the game in his home country, has been evident on the game's biggest stages. After the second round, Conners, Pendrith and Svensson were among the top 10, which marks the first time in majors history that three players representing Canada are among the top 10 after either 36, 54 or 72 holes.
Svensson was in a share of 10th after the second round, Hadwin slipped into a share of 35th place while Taylor and Hughes missed the cut.
