Woe Canada could become Oh Canada at Hamilton ゴルフ Club

June 7 (Reuters) - The second-一連の会議、交渉/完成する leaderboard at the Canadian Open on Friday had an unusual look, littered with 地元の 指名するs at a 選手権 that has not been 肉親,親類d to the home 次第で変わる/派遣部隊 in 最近の 10年間s.

No Canadian has won the country's 国家の open since Pat Fletcher in 1954, and there have not been too many の近くに calls in 最近の years either, apart from マイク Weir's プレーオフ loss to Vijay Singh in 2004.

But the nation's 現れるing depth of talent was on 十分な 陳列する,発揮する at Hamilton ゴルフ & Country Club in Ontario, with four 地元のs in the 最高の,を越す-12 at the halfway 示す.

Nick Taylor 長,率いるd the way with a five-under-par 65 that left him equal third, one 一打/打撃 behind American leaders Matt Kuchar and Scott Brown.

Adam Hadwin (66) was three 発射s behind the leaders, while Ben Silverman (61) and Mackenzie Hughes (66) 追跡するd by four.

Silverman is the only one of the quartet without a PGA 小旅行する victory, with the other three having one 勝利,勝つ apiece.

They are used to playing in 前線 of sparse galleries at tournaments south of the 国境, and are lapping up a chance to enjoy the limelight and the support of large (人が)群がるs.

Taylor 述べるd the atmosphere as "buzzing" for a Friday and said the ovation he received on the 18th 穴を開ける had given him 冷気/寒がらせるs.

World number 79 Hadwin also lapped up the energy.

"I certainly don't have a marquee 指名する like some of the guys out here who have (人が)群がるs every week," he said.

"That gets you up a little bit more I think and gets you a little bit more energized and you 料金d off it a little bit."

Silverman spoke likewise after his 61.

"If I 発射 nine-under in Texas like this I wouldn't get the same 肉親,親類d of 歓迎会," he said.

Hughes is also embracing the attention.

"You know you're playing with a bit of extra 期待 and 圧力, but if you 肉親,親類d of embrace that and use it as a 肯定的な then it can 肉親,親類d of work in your favour," he said.

The 圧力 will no 疑問 ratchet up over the 週末, and Taylor hopes that if he can not hoist the トロフィー on Sunday then one of his compatriots will.

"If we keep staying up in 論争, hopefully three, four of us have a chance come Sunday," he said.

"All of us 明白に want to 勝利,勝つ, but if we don't 勝利,勝つ I think having a buddy and a Canadian would be pretty 冷静な/正味の."
