The Jack Nicklaus designed par 71 Glen Abbey course was last used for this event in 2004 when the winner was Vijay Singh. In keeping with most Canadian Open venues the course is fairly tight and tree-lined and, in typical Nicklaus fashion, should favour players with a left to right ball flight.

OUTRIGHT: Mike Weir 1pt win or place 18/1

Despite an indifferent season and an unremarkable performance at last week’s Birkdale Open it is hard to ignore the local left hander Weir in this event. Canadian national Weir rates this event pretty much as a fifth Major and his backers can be assured on 100% effort and commitment this week. Most encouragingly he has the correct draw ball flight to go well here and so it is not too surprising that he finished runner-up to Vijay Singh here in 2004.

OUTRIGHT: Scott Verplank 1pt win or place 35/1

Like Weir, Verplank has strong positive mental associations with this event having won it last in 2001 at Royal Montreal. His left to right ball flight is ideally suited to the course and it is no surprise he finished inside the top ten here in 1998. Although he did not fare too well last week at Birkdale he did record a top twenty finish a few weeks back at the Buick Open.
