Dave Wettlauffer, Teaching Professional at Deer Ridge Golf Club in Kitchener, Ont., and 2011 PGA Seniors’ Championship of Canada winner, Ken Tarling finished T10 and T14, respectively.

Only the top six players in the 74-player field earned full playing privileges.

Calgary native Rick Gibson, who won the 1990 PGA Championship of Canada, finished T4.
