  • Bob West Kingston, Ont., Canada
    Member Profile Bob West Kingston, Ont., Canada was born to a long line of golfers,” says Bob West of Kingston, Ont. His father, Ted, was an excellent player“I whose harrowing World War II experiences were somewhat alleviated by golf. A flight lieutenant in the RCAF during World War II, the elder West piloted a Halifax bomber that was shot down in 1942 over Dusseldorf, Germany. “He spent five months shackled in a Stalag near Lansdorf before being transferred to the lower Silesian prison camp of Sagan,” Bob says. “It was there that he manufactured balls and clubs and gave instruction at a 9-hole course made by the prisoners. He escaped just before VE Day. Upon his return, he was rewarded with an exhibition match partnering the great Bobby Locke.” After returning to Canada, Ted West launched what Bob says was Canada’s first sporting goods store. When it did not succeed as he had hoped, he was persuaded to rejoin the RCAF and was killed flying a helicopter rescue mission in the interior of British Columbia in 1955. “His good friend and golfing colleague was Stan Leonard, Canada’s best professional golfer at the time,” Bob says. “When Gary Player went on an exhibition tour with Mr. Leonard in the early ’60s their stop in Edmonton included dinner with my mom and one of her friends. I was a teen- ager at the time and still remember that thrill of these two Bob and Avril West on the Oakhurst Golf Links coming by the house to take my mom to dinner.” in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.

Winds WSW 5-10 mph. 36-hole cut: 87 professionals and four amateurs from a field of 150 professionals and six amateurs. Because more than 78 players made the 36-hole cut, a 54-hole cut will reduce the field to low-70 and ties. Second-Round Leaderboard Chad Campbell 67-63—130 (-14) Brian Harman 65-67—132 (-12) Chad Campbell Chad Campbell’s bogey-free, 9-under 63 fell one-stroke shy of the Glen Abbey course record (as a par-72), posted by Greg Norman (1986) and John Merrick (2013). Leonard Thompson and Andy Bean posted 9-under 62s at Glen Abbey as a par-71 in 1981 and 1983, respectively. Campbell’s 63 is two strokes shy of his career-low round. Campbell has previously held a 36-hole lead/co-lead seven times. In a 72-hole event, he has never converted for the win. Campbell did parlay a 36-hole lead into victory at the 2006 CareerBuilder Challenge as a 90-hole tournament. Campbell is making his seventh start in the RBC Canadian Open this week, and sixth-consecutive. His best finish is a T16 at Glen Abbey Golf Club in 2013 (71-72-66-70—279/-9).
