Randy Robb leads PGA Club Professional Championship of Canada
Players faced tough conditions Monday at SunRidge Canyon Golf Club in Fountain Hills, Ariz.
When play was suspended due to darkness partially through the first round of the Titleist & FootJoy PGA Club Professional Championship of Canada, Alberta’s Randy Robb sat atop the leadberboard.
Robb, who won the 1990 PGA Assistants’ Championship of Canada, is currently the only player in the field at even-par after posting a 71 in the sixth group of the day.
However, nearly 40 players are within five shots of the lead including 2003 PGA Club Professional Championship of Canada winner Brett Burgeson, Ontario’s Matt Peavoy, Brian Guenther of Manitoba, and B.C.’s Jeff Buder and Doug Morgan who are all at 1 over.
