The best finish by a Canadian on a major tour last week happened on the DP World Tour where Aaron Cockerill posted a tie for second in the Magical Kenya Open.
It was the Stoney Mountain, Man., product’s top finish on the Euro-based circuit. He is the lone Canadian to play the circuit, splitting his time between the DP World Tour and the Challenge Tour.
On PGA Tour Champions, Stephen Ames finished tied for third at the Hoag Classic. That is his second top-three finish in four outings this season.
Finally, Brooke Henderson locked up another top-10 finish, the 64th of her career, with a solid outing at the HSBC Women’s World Championship. She ended up tied for sixth at 13-under par, four shots behind winner Jin Young Ko.
