source – TORONTO (AP) — Brent Delahoussaye (FSY) thought he would be overmatched at St. George’s Golf and Country Club. It turns out, the historic course was no match for the former Clemson player whose lone pro victory came in the 2006 Hooters Tour Classic.

The 29-year-old Delahoussaye shot an 8-under 62 on Thursday to match the Canadian Open record and take a two-stroke lead in the national championship.

“I’ve been hitting it well. I was just getting in my own way,” Delahoussaye said. “Today, I was like, you know what, ‘I’m just going to go out there and play. This course doesn’t set up good for me, so I’m just going to go out there with a good attitude and not worry about it.’ And look where I am now.”

He had an eagle, seven birdies and a bogey in perfect scoring conditions on the Stanley Thompson-designed course, the tree-lined, hilly layout that features thick rough, narrow fairways and undulating greens.

“The key was probably hitting fairways,” the short-hitting Delahoussaye said after hitting 13 of 14 fairways in regulation, 14 of 18 greens and needing only 24 putts.

“I woke up this morning and looked at the scores and I was like, ‘Wow!’ I did not see that many low scores out there in the practice round. … But I am shocked.”

Four other players have shot 62s in the Canadian Open, the first three at Glen Abbey. Leonard Thompson (FSY) set the mark in 1981, Andy Bean (FSY) matched it in 1983, both at a par of 71, and Greg Norman (FSY) did it in 1986, when par was 72. Hunter Mahan (FSY) had a 9-under 62 at Angus Glen in 2007.

Delahoussaye, in the last group of the day off the ninth tee, also broke the course record of 64 set by Canadian George Knudson in 1968, the last time the tournament was played at St. George’s.   View Orginal USA Today article here
