Canadians on Top - Weir and Ames

Mike Weir, A Canadian Pro Golfer, who only 10 weeks ago qualified for the winners-only Mercedes-Benz Championship, holed an 18-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 6-under 67 which gave him a one-shot lead over Stephen Ames and Jonathan Byrd.

Ames, the only player in the field who actually lives in Canada, fixed a flaw in his putting stroke and also shot 67, making birdie on three of his last five holes despite missing a 6-footer along the way.

Weir, at 8-under 138, and Ames will be in the final group at the Mercedes-Benz Championship in Kapalua, Hawaii.
