Taylor Pendrith of Richmond Hill, Ontario and Maude-Aimee Leblanc are both in contention on the PGA and LPGA events this weekend. Pendrith is the co-leader at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, Michigan with Tony Finau of the United States, while LeBlanc entered the fourth round of the Scottish Open only one stroke back of the leaders, Lydia Ko of New Zealand and Celine Boutier of France.
In Michigan, Pendrith and Finau are each at -21, and are the only two golfers in contention. In the first round, Pendrith had nine birdies and one bogey for an eight-under-par 64. He birdied the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, 10th, 12th, 13th, and 17th holes, and bogeyed the 18th hole. In the second round, Pendrith had eight birdies and one bogey for a seven-under-par 65. He birdied the first, second, third, fourth, seventh, 10th, 14th, and 17th holes, and bogeyed the 16th hole. In the third round, Pendrith had eight birdies and two bogeys for a six-under-par 66. He birdied the first, fourth, sixth, eighth, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 18th holes, and bogeyed the ninth and 13th holes.
LeBlanc had rounds of -5 in round one, -3 in round two, and -6 in round three. Her best result so far this year was a fourth place finish at the JTBC Classic in Carlsbad, California in March.
