RBC Canadian Open 2012: Greg Owen Takes Over First Round Lead

Stay connected with SB Nation

As the opening round of the 2012 RBC Canadian Open nears its conclusion, PGA Tour journeyman Greg Owen currently leads the pack at 7-under.

Owen, one of the lesser known players on tour, dazzled spectators with a scorecard that included eight birdies and one eagle en route to an opening-round 63. His round would have been even lower had it not been for a double-bogey on hole No. 10, followed by another dropped shot at No. 11. Had Owen scored par on those two holes, he would have recorded a season-low 60 for his round.

Tour veteran Robert Garrigus sits just one shot off the pace at 6-under for the day as he plays the back nine. Garrigus, traditionally one of the longest drivers on tour, is one pace to shoot a bogey-free round of 64 should he maintain his momentum.
