The Canadian Open - Sunday

It was just Curt and I for the final round - we knew we wanted to stay until the end, and if we stayed that late, we wouldn't have time to drive back to Acton to drop Nolan off at home - Nolan had a birthday party to go to anyway, so he didn't care either way.

The weather was a little bit better, it was still cool but at least it didn't rain!

Clear blue skies upon entering...
Although I've been to a number of PGA tournaments, I always get excited walking through the entrance!

And, we took some time to check out the Fan Experience area again - we both did the Golf Town simulator, and Curt even got his name on the Leader Board...
We spent a good portion of the day following Bubba; we met up with our friend Henk again (Amy wasn't there on Sunday) and enjoyed catching up with him a little bit more (they don't live in the Quinte area anymore, so we don't get to see them that often).  When Bubba's round was over, we made our way to the 18th green to watch the final groups come in.  I think this may be the first time we've actually done that; we normally don't want to fight crowds at 18, but I think the weather scared some people away because it didn't seem that busy.  So, we were able to find a good spot and we were there to watch Brandt Snedeker sink his final putt to win the tournament!

Brandt, about to shake his caddie's hand right after he won...
There were some pretty good names at the top of the leaderboard on Sunday afternoon - Matt Kuchar, Dustin Johnson and William McGirt, to name a few - and although it would have been good to see any of those guys win, I have to admit, I'm glad that it was Brandt in the end!

And, after Brandt won, I couldn't resist having my picture taken "with him" on the way out :)
