CALGARY — After winning three times on the PGA Tour Champions circuit last year, Jerry Kelly has yet to find a way to return to that same form this season.
In addition to suffering from turf toe, Kelly has been battling injuries to his wrist, neck and back.Working in his favour is the fact he's a fan of the par-70, 7,086-hole layout at Canyon Meadows. Kelly and Couples will start Friday’s opening round in a group with former Calgary resident Stephen Ames, who is coming off a win last week at the Boeing Classic near Seattle.
Couples is one of four World Golf Hall of Famers at the event, along with Mark O’Meara, Colin Montgomerie and Vijay Singh.“For me personally, it just kind of keeps lingering and people want to watch you play, they want to rally behind you,” said Couples. “And I still have enough people. I’ll be playing with Stephen Ames and Jerry Kelly. There will be a lot of people rooting for Stephen Ames, but I’ll get my share, and I’ll let Jerry Kelly worry about himself.
Due to the potential of high winds and bad weather on Friday, tee times were moved up to earlier in the morning so that the first round can finish up by 3 p.m. MT. “The field’s awesome,” said tournament executive director Sean Van Kesteren. “We didn’t get a single withdrawal after the field closed, which is unusual for any tournament on the PGA Tour.”
