RBC Canadian Open results - Bo Van Pelt scorches back nine to take lead

Related Articles
Bo Van Pelt hit red-hot form on the back nine on Saturday to move into a one-shot lead at the RBC Canadian Open.

The 36-year-old American shot six birdies after the turn on his way to a five-under-par 65 that put him on five-under through 54 holes, one stroke ahead of home hope Adam Hadwin.

Starting the day four shots behind overnight leaders Chad Campbell and Michael Thompson, Van Pelt’s front nine was nothing to shout about as he wiped out a birdie at the par-three third with bogeys at the par-four sixth and par-three fourth to make the turn in 36. But he did not look back one he birdied the par-four 10th to return to par, and he quickly picked up another shot at the par-three 12th. Van Pelt then made back-to-back birdies at the par-four 14th and par-five 15th, before successive birdies at the par-three 17th and par-four 18th ensured he would take a five-under total in the final round.

Hot on Van Pelt’s heels in Vancouver is Canadian entry Hadwin, who is playing on a sponsor’s exemption. The 22-year-old made a blistering start with birdies at three of his first four holes., but he stumbled in the middle stages of his round with bogeys at the par-four fifth, par-three eighth and par-four 11th. That slump that ultimately cost him the chance of taking the lead into the final day despite birdies at the par-three 12th and par-four 16th.

A further shot back is American Kris Blanks and Argentinian Andres Romero. First-round leader Blanks could have regained the lead at Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club had it not been for back-to-back bogeys at the par-four fifth and sixth and further dropped shots at the par-four 11th and 13th. The American shot five birdies on the day, but his one-under-par 69 was only enough to put him on three-under alongside Romero, who made five birdies and two bogeys in a three-under-par 67.

Overnight leaders Campbell and Thompson fell five shots off the lead after both men shot four-over par third rounds, while world number one Luke Donald’s misery continued with a two-over-par 72 that saw him fall to five-under with one round remaining.
