A comment made by one of the guys in the final round brought a smile to every Canadian watching.After Michelson Teed off with and Iron then took his second shot with a wood ,someone refered to Moe Norman who could do that every day of the week. It was nice of them to remember a Great Canadian Golfer.Most appreciated. Super coverage
In my junior golf days, I got the yips with my driver and had to tee off with irons for a year.
