Jim Furyk birdied two of the first three holes Sunday and then knocked his 5 iron tee shot on the fourth hole into the cup from 209 yards away for the lead. He went on to defeat Vijay Singh by a single shot when Mr. Singh’s birdie putt to tie on the 18th hole raced five feet by the hole. The difference for the week was the par 3 fourth, which Mr. Furyk played in only 7 strokes over the four days of the tournament while Mr. Singh required 15 shots over the same span. The win was Mr. Furyk’s first in the last twenty events he’s played and allowed him to become the first repeat champion of the Canadian Open since Jim Ferrier in 1951.

Vijay Singh grabbed the third round lead of the Canadian Open at 12 under par after an up and down round of 68. Friday’s co-leaders Steve Allan and John Mallinger both shot 70 and share second at 11 under par, followed closely by Hunter Mahan whose 67 rebounded nicely from Friday’s 74 and left him alone in third place at 10 under par. Jim Furyk and Pat Perez are another stroke back at 9 under par.
Steven Ames criticized the greens as being to soft and slow for a national championship, while Mr. Singh summed it up nicely saying that the pin placements had to be on slopes instead of the normal flat spots or scoring would be ridiculously low.
