Canadians Tracker: Pendrith (-2) top Canadian after opening round

The second men's golf major of the season is underway with players now on course at the 107th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Golf and Country Club in Charlotte, N.C. Five Canadians are in the field, all of whom are looking to win their first-ever major.

Taylor Pendrith is the only Canadian to finish Thursday in the red numbers after carding an opening round 2-under-69.

Pendrith started on the back nine and his round was highlighted by draining his second shot on the par-4 third hole for an eagle.

Corey Conners teed off early Thursday morning and was 1-under heading onto the penultimate hole of the front nine before carding a double bogey on the par-3 17th.

The Listowel, Ont. native three-putted on his way to putting a five down on the scorecard, missing a putt inside three feet to save bogey.

He would then bogey the first hole of the back nine, the par-4 first, rising to 2-over. A long string of pars kept his score the same for most of the closing stretch until the 33-year-old birdied the par-5 seventh to get to 1-over.

Another bogey one hole later would pull him back to 2-over, where he would eventually finish the first round with a par on the last. He is currently in a tie for 77th.

Adam Hadwin also finished with a 2-over-73 in his opening round.

Hadwin had two bogeys on the front nine and two bogeys on the back nine and was only able to gain strokes on the par-5 15th and par-5 seventh hole, each of which he birdied.

Nick Taylor shot a 5-over-76 and Mackenzie Hughes finished Thursday's opening round with a 7-over-78.

Xander Schauffele (+1) is the current holder of the Wanamaker Trophy after winning his first career major championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky last year.
