Armour, Alker get on a roll at Rogers Charity Classic
CALGARY - American golfer Ryan Armour gained top position in the Rogers Charity Classic leaderboard on Saturday after landing the 18th hole birdie at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club. The 50-year-old from Akron, Ohio, posted a 7-under 63, leading the tournament with a score of 10 under. His round featured nine birdies and a double bogey on the par-4 15th hole.
Armour struggled with his driver, hitting it into trouble on holes 15, 17 and 18, but managed to make a crucial 9-iron wedge into play on the final hole, sinking a putt to secure the win.
