$69 Million Golfer Reaction After Unfortunate News at RBC Canadian Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The RBC Canadian concluded its animated second round on Friday, producing an unexpected leader in Cameron Champ, an eighth alternate who joined after Shahith Theegala withdrew, and ending the weekend hopes of many top golfers.

There are 29 golfers tied for 18th or better after 36 holes in Toronto who are not in the U.S. Open field. A win would get them in.

Adam Hadwin is one of the players who hopes that this tournament will be another positive experience. Although not at the top of the rankings, Hadwin played two solid rounds.
