A relatively easy course at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario, could keep play tight throughout the weekend. Steele made birdie eight times on Thursday, and shot bogey once on the par-4 No. 9.
Brandt Snedeker was the odds-on favorite to win the Open heading into Thursday, but so far he hasn’t enjoyed the same low scores as everyone else. He is still in striking distance of the top of the leaderboard at 2-under, though he currently finds himself in a 12-way tie for 29th-place.
