Rock Solid Performance: Par-4s key for Reavie

text size

Chez Reavie became the first rookie to win on the PGA TOUR in 2008 and jumped from 128th to 29th in regular season FedExCup points standings.

Reavie dominated the par-4s this week at Glen Abbey, making birdie on 16 of the 44 par-4s. This is the most under-par scores recorded on par-4s at the Canadian Open over the past 25 years. The previous high was 13 by Sean O'Hair and Bubba Watson in 2006.

Prior to this week, Reavie had never birdied the same par-4 hole in each round of an official TOUR event. He did this on two different holes at Glen Abbey, the fourth and ninth . Reavie is the only player over the past 25 years to birdie two different par-4 holes in every round of a Canadian Open and only the second player this season to do it in an official PGA TOUR event (the other was Woody Austin at the Buick Open).
