Canadian!! What irons did he play? 

Was great to watch him close it out and had a crazy score card with 10 birdies, 4 bogeys (in a row) and some solid pars including a nice sand save on 14 I believe. Great reactions from the fans and simply some great golf.

They guy really has his game together. Seems like a good humble guy that deserves to start getting some recognition in the world. Will be interesting to see if he's able to start making more appearances.

the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get..

Local Boy!!! Corey's home course is only a half hour drive from my house, although I've never played it. The course is actually closed for the week as the owner and GM have driven down to Augusta for the Masters. Great to see him finally pull one out after a great showing at the Valspar last year. This course is about the last one you'd expect to produce a PGA champ, but awesome nonetheless.

Corey grew up playing Listowel Golf and Country Club in Listowel, Ontario (very rural, probably about 70 miles or so southwest of Toronto). Quirky, shorter course, not anything special, run of the mill muni. With the doglegs and layout of the course, it probably helped him develop his excellent iron play.

Went to Kent State on a golf scholarship at the same time at Mackenzie Hughes (I actually ate dinner at his home club the other week).
