It looked for a while as if it might be a close call but Peter has made the cut at the RBC Canadian Open, adding a second round of 70 to his opening 73 and at 3 over par he is in 52nd position and a shot inside where he neded to be in order to play the final 36 holes.

Knowing he needed to shoot par or better today if he was to have a realistic chance of making the cut, Peter got off to a good start on the demanding Shaughnessy Golf Club layout in Vancouver when his tee shot at the par three 12th (his third hole) finished 10 feet behind the flag and he converetd for birdie.

The came two bogeys before the turn and at 4 over he was on the cusp. He missed a couple of reasonable opportunities early in his back nine but on the other hand also made a couple of good par saves. The cushion would come when he hit a great approach at the par five 16th after been forced to lay up when finding the rough from the tee.

He holed a six foot putt there to have a little bit to spare over the closing two holes. He made a very good par save at his final hole from 70 yards to stay in touch of with a potential good finish if he can put together two good weekend rounds.
