Tracking the Canadians: Pendrith rallies late on moving day at PGA Championship

It's was a rough go for the Canadians Saturday at the PGA Championship, until Taylor Pendrith rallied to make birdie on three of his final four holes.

The Richmond Hill, Ont., native began the day at 3-under in a tie for 17th but fell to as low as 4-over for the day and 1-over for the week after he made four straight bogeys on holes nine through 13. But Pendrith steadied himself with two consecutive pars and then played the final four holes 3-under, not only surviving, but excelling at Quail Hollow's vaunted Green Mile stretch to finish at 1-over for the day and remain on the outskirts of contention heading into the final round Sunday.

Pendrith made six bogeys and five birdies en route to a 72, putting him in a tie for 24th at 2-under for the week. Scottie Scheffler led at 9-under when Pendrith finished his round.

Corey Conners, of Listowel, Ont., wasn't able to get his round back on track the way Pendrith was, as he finished 3-over in Round 3, putting him 2-over for the week in a tie for 51st. Conners carded four bogeys and just the one birdie on his way to a 74. 

Nick Taylor (Abbotsford, B.C.), Mackenzie Hughes (Dundas, Ont.) and Adam Hadwin (Moose Jaw, Sask.) were also in the field at Quail Hollow, but all three missed the cut after struggling through the first two days of the tournament.

Taylor, a five-time PGA TOUR winner, had an outside chance to see the weekend, but ended up playing his final three holes at 3-over to finish Friday five shots outside the cut.

Hughes was unable to overcome a 7-over 78 on Thursday, and missed out on the weekend at his home club after shooting 2-over in the second round.

Hadwin appeared to be in the mix after opening with a 2-over 73, but finished well above the cut line after carding a whopping 10 bogeys on his way to a nine-over 80 on Friday.

Here is a look at how the Canadians have performed so far at the PGA Championship.
