Kevin Tway leads the way in Canadian Open

American looking to follow in his father’s footsteps by securing victory in Ontario

Kevin Tway will be hoping to follow in his father’s footsteps as he takes a one-shot lead into day three of the RBC Canadian Open.

The American, whose father Bob won the same tournament at Hamilton Golf and Country Club in 2003, recovered from a bogey on the 17th to finish with a birdie on the final hole and get to 13 under in Oakville, Ontario.

South Korean Whee Kim matched Tway’s second-round 65 to finish on 12 under overall and was joined in second place by American Keegan Bradley.

Bradley eagled the par-five second hole and closed on nine-under 63 following an impressive birdie-eagle-birdie-eagle finish through holes 15 to 18.

England’s Tommy Fleetwood had a disappointing day, mixing six birdies with five bogeys for a round of 71 and dropping 19 places into joint 23rd.

Day one leader Robert Garrigus moved into joint 10th on nine under following a round of 72 which included four bogeys and birdies apiece.
